Senator Chris Ngige has come out to deny reports that there has been alleged threat by some South-East to cause confusion if they weren't offered positions.
Sen. Chris Ngige is denying reports that issues of power sharing was threatening the stability of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-East, made the region's position known concerning appointments in the incoming government.
"We cannot say for now that our party has zoned the position of the SGF to the South-East because we have a standing committee that is still working on distribution of party offices.
"The import of what is happening, like you said, is that in the executive branch now the South-East is not represented at all and in the legislature, we will not be represented because we have no senator from the South-East of Nigeria.
"We have two House of Representatives members who are not ranking and might not get any meaningful position in the end.
"It is in that wise that the people you saw here last week and today again have been consistently asking for position of SGF to come to the South-East,” he said.
Reiterating that there was no rancour in their camp, Ngige said, "you can see we are a disciplined people in the South-East, forget about what people are saying in the newspapers.’’
"We have a caucus and that caucus has met on that position; we are only waiting for the party to officially tell us this is your position and we will submit the name.
"We have come to a decision but when we get to the bridge we will cross it; let the party say South-East this is your position then we will not waste even one hour in submitting a name," he said
