Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has said that no position has been the All Progressives Congress has set up a committee to review the zoning arrangement because no position has been zoned to anyone.
Okorocha was speaking alongside former National Chairman of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu who represented a delegation of leaders of South-east zone of the party.
The delegation made a special appeal to President- Elect, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari(rtd.) to consider the region for the position of Secretary General of the Federation.
Okorocha said “Well, as it is now no position has been zoned to anyone. A committee is been set up to review the entire zoning thing, there has not been any zoning at all, any speculation is not real because it has not come from the APC or from us, it was a mere speculative reports but right now a committee is being set up to review all those allocations and distribution of appointments in Nigeria.”
While appealing to the President, he said “We (South-east APC) are more victorious than you are on your victory at the presidential election, many of us would have gone on exile if you had lost. Although we could not deliver the south-east to you, what we were able to do however was to cutdown the 7.2 million votes the PDP had projected to get from the south-east.
“We know that we’ve lost out for the position of senate presidency because we do not have a high-ranking senator returned to the National Assembly. We however appeal and we believe that you will be generous enough to consider the south-east region for the position of the SGF.”
