of the Southeast region are not worried about the zoning policy of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) which has allegedly ensured that no
one from the region would hold a top office in the National Assembly.
Although the APC had denied it had zoned any positions, there have
been indications in recent weeks that APC had zoned the office of
Senate President to the North-Central with Senators Bukola Saraki and
George Akume as the major contenders.
Other principal positions in the two chambers are being contested by
the North-East, North-West and South-West. The South-South, which only
has one returning member to the House of Representatives, is also
angling for the office of Deputy Speaker. But the South-East, which
has no returning member of APC in the Senate and the House of
Representatives, has allegedly been completely left out of any of the
principal officers' positions.
However, Ezeife said: "I do not see anything wrong with what APC had done.
"What the party has done is in line with their convention. I do not
see any reason why people should be worried about the fate of the
Igbo.
"We are not worried. Only those who do not see us as people of destiny
are worried. However, there are lessons to be learned from the outcome
of things. But we are not worried because lessons have been learned,"
he said.
