The Ohanaeze Ndigbo states that allocating the position of the Deputy Speaker to the South East is highly unreflective, disgusting and provocative to the Igbo
The apex socio-cultural organisation in the South-East, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has expressed its displeasure at the zoning formula issued by the All Progressives Congress, for the position of the 10th National Assembly.
It described the zoning of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives to the South-East as disgusting. Recall, that the National Working Committee of the APC had nominated Senator Godswill Akpabio for the position of Senate President. Hon. Tajudeen Abass from Kaduna State was nominated as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, while the party also anointed Hon. Ben Kalu of Abia State for the position of Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives.
However, Ohanaeze, in a statement issued on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, described the zoning of Deputy Speaker to the region as unreflective, disgusting and provocative. The group urged all lawmakers from the region to vote according to their discretions, irrespective of state, religion, or ethnicity during the election.
