Senator Utazi reveals why APC should zone Ekweremadu’s job to Southeast
Utazi, who heads the Senate Committee on Anti-Corruption and Financial Crimes, said since elections were over, every part of the country should be carried along.
“In a contest, there must be a winner. Elections are over and this is the time to bring everyone together. Leaving out the entire South East in sharing of positions in the National Assembly is not in the interest of the country. “Nigeria belongs to all of us. The South East is an important part of Nigeria and it cannot be ignored. This is part of the things we have been clamouring for. We have spoken against the marginalisation of the South East. It breeds unnecessary bad blood and I think we don’t need that again in this country,” he told newsmen in Abuja on Monday.
Notwithstanding, six contenders: Orji Uzor Kalu ; Francis Alimekhena ; Ovie Omo-Agege ; Oluremi Tinubu ; Kabiru Gaya and Ike Ekweremadu , have already signified interest for for the office.
