The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide, Ebonyi State chapter on Monday advocated for the zoning of the 2023 governorship position of the state to Ebonyi North Senatorial zone.
The group called on Political parties to strive to maintain, and obey the already established rotational/zoning pattern for the Governorship Position in the state, especially in the 2023 general election.
The State President, Mr. Peter Obasi Mbam, made this known while speaking with journalists, shortly after a Consultative Meeting in Abakaliki capital of Ebonyi State.
Mbam maintained that returning the Governorship position to Ebonyi North Senatorial Zone for the next round would be the surest way of maintaining peace and brotherly love in the State as it would move to Central and South Zones, respectively, in the near future.
“The Leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, WorldWide, Ebonyi State Chapter, has appealed to all the members of the Political Class in the State to strive to maintain the already established rotational/zoning pattern for the Governorship Position, for justice, equity and peace to continue to rein in Ebonyi State.”
The President further reiterated the committed effort of Ohanaeze State leadership to support Governor David Nweze Umahi, to ensure that the Governorship seat is returned to Ebonyi North Senatorial Zone.
He urged “the State Founding Fathers, members of the Elders Council, the Political class and indeed all Ebonyians to join hands with our peace-lowing Governor and ensure a successful Transition of the Governorship position to Ebonyi North Senatorial Zone, in 2023.” He stated.
