are divided over who becomes the next secretary to the government of
the federation, SGF, as the fight for the post has split them into
three bitterly divided camps.
Under Nigeria's complex zoning arrangement, the SGF has been zoned to
the Igbo-speaking southeast geo-political zone and the race has begun
to find a suitable candidate to fill the spot.
After several meeting held by the APC's southeast caucus in Abuja it
has been unable to reach an agreement on the nominees to be submitted
for the positions of SGF and ministerial positions, Nigerian Newswatch
can report.
Yesterday, the caucus met again at the Imo State governor's lodge in
Abuja at the instance of Governor Rochas Okorocha but the meeting
ended in stalemate.
A party source at the meeting said they were unable to reach agreement
because the three top contenders Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, Senator Chris Ngige
and the current secretary to Imo State government, Professor Anthony
Anwuka failed to yield ground for one another.
He added: "The leaders met to consider nominee for the post of the SGF
which has been ceded to the zone. However, the meeting was divided on
whether to forward one name or the three names but later resolved to
send three names to the president-elect to decide whom to choose."
