The Rivers state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC has demanded that the position of the president, the vice president or the national chairman of the party should be zoned to the Niger Delta region.
Speaking to PUNCH, Chief Chukwuemeka Eze, Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Interim State Chairman of the party, said, "The sacrifices those of us in Niger Delta have made to make the APC popular in this area; if the party does not consider all these sacrifices and let us assume that President Goodluck Jonathan gets the ticket (of the Peoples Democratic Party), what would we depend on to ask Niger Delta people to vote for APC when there is no responsible or reasonable position given to us (Niger Delta)?
"So, if the position of the presidency, vice presidency or the chairman of the party is not ceded to this place, in other words, they are asking us to slow down. Therefore, any calculation, they (national APC) without putting this factor into consideration, they are not fair to the people from this area".
Eze completed the call by adding that the attendance of President Goodluck Jonathan’s daughter’s wedding by the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, was not an indication that he was planning a return to the PDP.
