On Wednesday, several worried residents of Enugu State reacted to a recent claim by Ike Ekweremadu, a former deputy Senate president, who stated that there is no time rotation of governorship in the state.
“I challenge anyone who claims there was a zoning arrangement to come and tell where the talk and the agreement took place,” Ekweremadu said last Friday during his declaration for governorship, according to Anaedoonline.ng.
The Whistler says that in a document dated July 7, 2013, the Peoples Democratic Party hierarchy listed Ekweremadu as the fourth person to sign the zoning agreement.
The paper was also signed by all of the state’s federal lawmakers, including incumbent Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
“At times, one wonders why man doesn’t learn from the past,” Chikeokwu Onuh, a public affairs specialist, remarked in response to the remarks. A proud man is killed by haughtiness. For selfish reasons, Ekweremadu is attempting to break the peace in Enugu State. He served in the Senate for Donkey years before deciding to resign. His pledge to run for governor of Enugu State in 2023 is the polar opposite of someone of his caliber.”
“He can fool the naive, but not everyone,” Sunday Vitus remarked. When the chips are down, the agreement will be revealed, along with the signatures. Maybe he’s ready to compete with APGA.”
Prince Joseph Eze, a business man, said, “It is a case of inordinate ambition. How can anybody say that Enugu State has no zoning arrangement for the governorship? The agreement started in retrospect from Okwesilieze Nwodo of Enugu North zone; to Chimaroke Nnamani of Enugu East, and then to Sullivan Chime of Enugu West. It is presently in Enugu North where Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi comes from.
“It should naturally return to Enugu East zone in 2023. Anybody against this has a skeleton in the cupboard. It is left for the voters to use their powers to either make or mar our peaceful state.”
