President Muhammadu Buhari has been called upon to consider the South East for the position of Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
Tony Nwoye, a Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2017 governorship poll in Anambra State made the call while speaking in Enugu at the launch of his 2019 Free Medical Outreach at Nsugbe in Anambra State.
He said while President Buhari is at liberty to appoint anyone of his choice as SGF, he pointed out that there is also need to appoint only those with the capacity to market the APC in the geo political zone.
He said, “We deserve the post of Secretary of Government of the Federation or the deputy senate president,” adding that the bane of APC in Anambra State and South East in general was lack of altruistic leaders.
He said that was why the party performed abysmally in several elections in the area.
He said, “the South East deserves the position of SFG or the deputy senate president.
“Igbo are critical stakeholders in the Nigeria project. And knowing Mr. President he will not fail to give this to us. He is a man with a large heart.
“He would not say because our people did not vote for him, that he will not give us what is due to us. If we get SSG, it will help to market APC in this part of the country.
