Akpan Umoh, Uyo
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State, Sunny Udoh, has asked the APC to zone the Senate President in the 10th Assembly to the South-South region to ensure equity, justice and fairness.
Udoh, who is a former member of the Cross River State House of Assembly in the second Republic said this during an interaction with journalists in Uyo on Tuesday.
Udoh said that for equity and justice, it would be justifiable for the South South to be considered for this position when the 10th assembly is inaugurated in June.
“I want our party, All Progressive Congress and the President-elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu to ensure that his government takes off on a good footing by correcting mistakes made in the past.
“This position I am canvassing for is to add more value to the incoming administration of the ruling party.
“When Justice is served, we will start correcting those wrongs done in the past. in this case, I feel that the South-South region does have qualified and experienced persons to occupy that office.
“Nigeria can only succeed when we sincerely correct any noticeable mistake made by her predecessors. We can no longer fold our hands to witness the country drift apart,” Udoh said.
The All Progressive Congress chieftain said only equitable, distribution of -positions to all the political zones would ensure the stability and success of Tinubu’s administration.
The elder statesman said that the South-South states voted for the president’s elect and deserved to be rewarded for guaranteeing him, at least, 25 per cent in each of the states across the region.
