…says allocation of deputy speaker highly unreflective, disgusting and provocative to the Igbo

CHIEDOZIE Alex Ogbonnia, national publicity secretary, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has urged Igbo lawmakers for the 10th National Assembly to use their discretion while voting for the leadership.

Ogbonnia made this known in a statement made available to Realnews on Friday, June 2.

According to the statement, “Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has watched with grave concern the zoning of principal officers of the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.  We have also observed that the All Peoples Congress (APC) zoned the position of the Deputy Speaker to the South East of Nigeria.

“The Ohanaeze Ndigbo states that allocating the position of the Deputy Speaker to the South East is highly unreflective, disgusting and provocative to the Igbo.

“To this end, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide led by Chief Engr. Dr. Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, CFR (Ahaejiagamba) directs all the Igbo Lawmakers in the 10th National Assembly to vote according to their discretions irrespective of state, religion or ethnicity.”
