With the storm over the National Assembly leadership yet to settle, Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has submitted three names to President Muhammadu Buhari for consideration as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).

Daily Trust learnt yesterday that Okorocha backed his
demand with the argument that appointments into key
positions in the new government should be on the basis of
the four political parties that formed the All Progressives
Congress (APC).

He had argued that while the Congress for Progressive
Change (CPC), the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), the
Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) have been recognised for
various positions, the All Progressives Grand Alliance
(APGA) has not been given any.

A source close to the governor told our correspondent that
“If you look at the sharing of key posts, you would see that
APGA that he took to join them in the APC has not been
rewarded.”

The source said the governor has resolved not to allow
APGA go empty handed and has therefore made his position known to President Buhari while submitting the three names.

He said the names of Senator Chris Ngige, Ogbonnaya Onu
and Anthony Anwuka have been sent to the president to
approve whoever he deems fit to occupy the office from
among them.

Another source said since President Muhammadu Buhari is
of the CPC, Prof Yemi Osinbajo his vice is of the ACN, John
Odigie Oyegun was a chieftain of ANPP, Bukola Saraki of the new PDP is contesting the Senate presidency with Ahmad Lawan of the ANPP while Femi Gbajabiamila is also from the ACN bloc while Yakubu Dogara belongs to the ANPP, Governor Okorocha is right to demand the position for APGA.

A reliable source at Government House Owerri said however that though Okorocha has submitted a list, he will face stiff opposition from the Rotimi Amaechi camp.

APC marriage of strange bed fellows.

this man is a good man that wants good things for his people.

with the emergence of ekweremadu as deputy senate president, Igbo will not get SGF.

Okorocha can take his recommendations and stick it up his black a..ss. This f.oolish eidiot need to know that the post of sgf has no bearing on the poverty ravaging Imolites. What a misplaced priority; This potbellied rabble rouser need to create employment opportunities for his people.

u can not be living in akure and be hyping rochas just because u have a smartphone and not knowing what we, the victims of his administration are passing through... there are better ways of supporting apc, buhari should be okay for you.

Wonder why when rochas was listing criteria like cpc bringing out buhari,acn bringing out osinbajo and apga nothing he did not mention anpp...is it because it favours onu?

Rochas my Role model

Buhari my Hero
