The All Progressives Congress South-East Renaissance Group on Thursday called on the leadership of the party to zone the position of the Speaker, House of Representatives in the Ninth National Assembl
y to the South-East.Onyemechara claimed that the APC denied the South-East principal office positions in the National Assembly in 2015 on the grounds that the zone did not have a ranking member on the platform of the party.
He said a situation where the same geopolitical zone that produced the Vice-President was scheming to produce the Speaker of the House of Representatives was unacceptable. “A situation where the same geopolitical zone which produced the Vice-President of the country and the national leader of our party is seen scheming and demanding, with a bloated sense of entitlement, the Speakership of the House of Representatives, smacks of political avarice, brazen injustice and grave disservice to good conscience,” Onyemechara said.
He therefore called on all party members jostling for the position from other geopolitical zones to withdraw from the race and support the South-East.
