Zoning: Abia Founding Fathers take position ahead of 2023 guber polls - Daily Post Nigeria

The Abia Founding Fathers made their position known in a communique at the end of an enlarged meeting held in Umuahia, against the backdrop of the continued controversy over which senatorial zone in the State will produce Governor Okezie Ikpeazu’s successor in 2023.

They further posited that if any of the components of the four letters ABIA are not treated fairly now, there could be unnecessary misgivings and agitations that may lead the state to nowhere.

The Chatter of Equity, they insisted, provides guidelines for equitable and even development of the state, adding that one of the guidelines is the rotation of the position of the governor of the state according to alphabetical order of the letters of the word ABIA. Continuing, the Abia Founding Fathers, argued that the Chatter of Equity involves three major sub-groups, the Umuahia group, Aba group and Isuikwuato group, maintaining that all the groups subscribed to the Charter of Equity, and jointly in the spirit of equanimity submitted a request and memorandum of understanding to the military government for creation of Abia State out of the Old Imo State.

The elders made up of HRM Eze Uzo Ukandu, erstwhile Chairman, Abia State Traditional Rulers’ Council, Eze Uzo Ukandu, the Chairman, Ukwa La Ngwa Traditional Rulers Council, Eze Nwabiarije Enogwe, Sir B.L.C.Okoro, Chief Chikezie Ekwuribe, Chief Bernard Chukwu and Professor Anthony Nzeako.
