"Why Ohanaeze Won't Discuss Senate Speaker Zoning"
• APC Groups Push for Southeastern Senate Presidency, Endorse Izunaso
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo said he would not discuss the zoning of the Senate presidency for the next dispensation. The position of the umbrella socio-cultural organization Igbo comes amid concerns over development, particularly among members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Investigation by The Guardian found that despite huge interest in the position of APC senators from the Southeast region, Ohanaeze would not want to be dragged into the debate, based on his belief that Labor Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi would regain his electoral mandate as soon as possible.
It was further discovered that Ohanaeze, who has yet to endorse the election won by Bola Tinubu, was not keen on knowing who is the Senate Speaker, likely considering his belief that the election 2023 presidential election was Ndigbo's turn to produce the country's president.
The Guardian concluded that Ohanaeze would not be interested in the job, following the view that he does not serve the interest of the area when the opportunity was given to the area in 1999, with people as Alvan Enwerem (Imo); Adolphe Wabara (Abia); Chuba Okadigbo (Anambra); Anyim Pius Anyim (Ebonyi) and Ken Nnamani (Enugu) occupying the office.
Currently, senators from the Southeast, who are in the APC like Osita Izunaso, Orji Kalu, Dave Umahi, among others, are jostling for the position to be zoned in the region to improve the political balance.< /p>
Meanwhile, yesterday, support groups from the Coalition of All Progressives Congress (APC) threw their full weight behind the demand for the zoning of the Senate Speakership in the Southeast.
In a statement signed by Fulani Ola and addressed to the National Work Committee (NWC) of the party led by Abdullahi Adamu, they stressed that the call was based on the need to ensure national cohesion and integration in the country.< /p>
They further noted that their position was based on the principle of federal character, as provided for in the Constitution, which promotes the inclusion of all groups in the country in public office.
The group therefore approved the aspiration of Senator Osita Izunaso to occupy the seat of President of the Senate in the 10th Assembly.
