A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Osita Chidoka has called on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to zone the position of national chairman of the APC to the south-east to ensure inclusive representation.
Chidoka’s call came in the wake of the resignation of the APC Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu and assumption of office of Abubakar Kyari, deputy chairman (north), as acting national chairman of the party.
Reacting to the development Chidoka said since principal offices, including the presidency, senate presidency and speaker of the house of representatives, are held by Nigerians from other regions, the APC chairmanship, as a matter of prioritizing national unity, should be zoned to the south-east.
The former minister of aviation said President Bola Tinubu should rise above “petty politics and renew the idea of Nigeria”, adding that “a south-east national chairman for the APC would be a step in the right direction.
