Based on present reality, Izunaso is the highest ranking Senator from the South-south and South-east with a robust legislative and National Assembly experience stretching down to 1992
when he served as the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker of House of Representatives to 1999 when he was appointed as the Chief Press Secretary to the President of the Senate.
Izunaso added that the expectations of Nigerians and the entire world are high on the incoming administration. As such, no effort should be spared by the present political leaders of the country in meeting the yearnings of the people. According to him, the outcry, protests and gang-ups which erupted following the informal and formal announcement of the provocative zoning formula showed that the arrangements were not satisfactory to the overwhelming majority of the newly elected legislators and Nigerians generally, stressing that it should therefore be discarded without any further delay.
“If you want to go with the mood of the nation, requiring a government of National Unity, I am an Igbo man from South-east, the most marginalised zone in Nigeria, I am the most qualified,” Izunaso pointed out. Speaking at a press conference in Kaduna on Friday, Muhammad Aminu Abbas, spokesperson of the Coalition said they were worried that the clamour for separation of power was rooted in the perceived political power exclusion and that the zoning arrangement of the leadership of the 10th National Assembly released by the national leadership of APC, had allegedly failed to address this agitation from the south-East.
The coalition declared: “In order not to sacrifice party loyalty, commitment and dexterity to build the party, we unanimously endorse Senator Osita Izunaso for the office of the Senate President for the 10th Senate.” “We must not neglect the population and demographic dividends of the South-East region in the political calculation of the ruling APC…Again, the entrepreneurial spirit of the Igbo man makes the region a fertile ground for economic development and independence for the entire country. Neglecting an important region like the South-East politically will have negative social and economic consequences.
