S/East APC presents member elect of Accord Party to Oshiomhole as Speaker
by Tony Akowe, Abuja June 7, 2019

Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the five southeastern states on the platform of the South-east Equity Alliance have asked the party to cede the seat of the Speaker of the House of Representatives to the zone in the spirit of equity and fairness.
Curiously, however, the group said they have met with the National Chairman and presented the name of an Accord Party Member Elect, Hon. Emeka Nwajiuba as their candidate for the speaker.
Addressing a news conference after a closed-door meeting with the National Chairman on APC Friday in Abuja, spokesman of the group Barrister Kingsley Ononuju, said the south-east “have competent and qualified honourable members of the House of Representatives with excellent track record in public administration and grounded in the nitty-gritty of lawmaking.
“Hon. Emeka Nwajiuba, a detribalized Nigerian, is one of them. He is a man of integrity, with effective political structure both in the north and south. A proficient team player, humble and dedicated.
“Hon. Nwajiuba, is also eminently qualified and favourably disposed to rendering service, unifying and building a better Nigeria by working harmoniously with the executive. His goal is to give real meaning to governance, through dynamic legislative service.
“He has emerged and we have to support him. The entire southeast including the caucus in the House of Representatives, should rally round and make sure that he succeeds. No one, should be under the illusion that power and plum positions can be obtained through patronage or on a platter. There must be a push and effort.
“Thank goodness, some prominent Nigerians and groups like the political strategist, Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, of Kaduna State and the formidable Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), have joined the fray in support of the southeast but that is not enough.

“We, as the conscience of Southeast, have to make an impact so that other Nigerians and interested parties, will know that we mean business and not ready to give up.
When this is done, we believe that they will take us seriously and our goal will be achieved.
“This crucial moment, calls for concerted action, unity of purpose and oneness. Certainly, with the Speaker of the House of Representatives going to the southeast, it will enhance peace and help contain all forms of restiveness in the region.”
The group expressed concern over what they described as the exclusion of South-east in the first tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari, saying “last time the Southeast headed any organ of government, was during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, and that brought stability in governance, peace and progress, especially with the sterling performance of the likes of Senators Ken Nnamani, Pius Anyim etc.
In 2019, we must be present at the Nigerian pinnacle of power. For this reason, we call on all the governors, elected members of the National Assembly from the southeast zone, and other major stakeholders from the area, to come together, pool resources, so as to give this effort, the necessary impetus.
“At this point, we are asking, is Southeast part of Nigeria? That pertinent question must be answered this time, with the emergence of Speaker of the House of Representatives from the southeast geopolitical zone.”

Accord party candidate as the speaker of the house when apc has over 200 reps elect

Good for dem

Fear woman, fear politics then fear devil

These ones they play too much

These SE people always like to overdo things. Being fair in politics is about numbers and what you bring to the table, hence the saying, "the minority will have their say and majority will have their way".
SE should accept their "say lot" in APC and maintain their "way lot" in PDP.

Good for dem

I cant believe am reading rubish

Just Negodu SE?

>:

Confusion galore.
Accord party
Hahahaha

Even in Biafra land, i doubt if an igbo man can be speaker of their parliament

Apc is a confused party.

Lol... This South East sha.

It is still one of them that dragged Gbaja to court.

Funny tribe that preach hate but want love in return

I know its these people that sponsor fake news about Gbajabiamila .And Gbajabiamila is our next speaker nothing you can do about that.

Smiling

Are they begging ? well of what importance is it to have a Speaker who is a puppet from your region?


lemme just mind my business.

The SE cannot reap where they didn't sow. They should wait for PDP to make them speaker.

The SE play politics of hate, bittersweet, sentiment, Ethnicity and religion.

God will not forgive Lord Lugard for making other good tribes to be in same country with this hateful people.

Never again

I know it was these people that sponsor fake news about Gbajabiamila .And Gbajabiamila is our next speaker nothing you can do about that.

What illogicality!
You want APC to sponsor a member of another party over and above her own qualified members in order to accommodate a region which consistently gave it the least number of votes - chai! some ppl can be unreasonably selfish, walahi.

Southeast na enemy of progress region
