The governorship aspiration of a former deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, has stirred a raging controversy in Enugu State ahead of the 2023 general elections, RAPHAEL EDE writes

“I heard that narrative; someone said it was in the Banquet Hall of the Government House during Sullivan’s regime. If you and a few people decided to visit the governor and had some food and drinks and then had a conversation, does that mean you should wake up and say you discussed or agreed? So, there is no such thing like zoning.

The lawmaker, who has been in the Senate for close to 20 years, said, “I challenge anybody who says that there was a zoning arrangement to come and say where the discussion and the agreement took place. I was the campaign manager for Senator Chimaroke Nnamani during his first term and he was not a product of zoning. Sullivan Chime was not a product of zoning and I was not a product of zoning either. If I was, I wouldn’t have been in the Senate for five consecutive terms.

“For record purposes and to avoid any doubt, there is a written zoning and rotation of the governorship position in Enugu State.” “So, Ekweremadu’s argument on no zoning is because he believes quite well that after eight years, he would not be politically relevant to contest the position anymore. That’s why he wants to rock the boat by saying there’s no zoning principle,” Nnaji added.
