Meregini, the APC Candidate for Umuahia East Constituency seat in the Abia State House of Assembly in the last general elections, made the assertion while speaking with Newsmen on Tuesday in Lagos.“It is natural justice to cede the position to the South-East to douse all complaints about marginalisation by the people of the region.
“For the South-South, President Muhammadu Buhari took over from South-South; the South-East has never played or occupied any major role within the power configuration of the country,’’ he said. According to him, Kalu though a first term senator in the Senate possesses the requisite leadership and legislative experience to lead the red chamber.
According to him, if the office is zoned to the region, it will bring natural peace and harmonious coexistence in the country and end all Biafra agitations as well as secession quests.
