Meregini, the APC Candidate for Umuahia East Constituency seat in the Abia State House of Assembly in the last general elections, made the assertion while speaking with Newsmen on Tuesday in Lagos.“It is natural justice to cede the position to the South-East to douse all complaints about marginalisation by the people of the region.

According to him, Kalu though a first term senator in the Senate possesses the requisite leadership and legislative experience to lead the red chamber.
