Mr Amaechi Nwoha, SEA’s Director, Contact and Mobilization made the assertion in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said it would be grossly unfair for the South-Eastern part of the country not to hold a prominent position in any of the three arms of government.

“It will be unconscionable to exclude the South-East from the leadership of the executive, judiciary and legislative arms of government,” he said.

Nwoha urged national assembly members-elect to be guided by their conscience and the spirit of national unity in selecting their leadership.

“As you choose your leadership tomorrow, the South-East demands either, the Senate President, Deputy Senate President, Speaker or the Deputy Speaker of the House of representatives,” he said.

The SEA’s director said that the South-East ought to be included into the emerging leadership in the country in the spirit of equity.

“Doing so will be a good reflection of President Buhari’s vision of an all-inclusive government,” he said.
