OYI/AYAMELUM FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY WHOSE TURN IS IT? - Emeka Agbapuluonwu Esq
My thinking is that our brother, Ekene Enefe has the quality, the temperament, the commitment, the resources and the experience to deliver quality representation to us at Oyi/Ayamelum Federal Constituency. Chief Ekene Enefe has what it takes to win his primary election as well as the general election fairly without resorting to blackmail of his rival in the primary election. For the record, there has never been any such thing as Zoning Arrangement. Where was such agreement when Hon. Chinedu Eluemuno from Noelle Ezunaka vigorously contested for APGA nomination against the present incumbent during the primary election for 2015 general election? Oyi was in the House of Representatives for three straight terms, from 1999 to 2011 through late Hon. Celestine Nnaemeka Ughanze (1999-2007) and Hon.Chinedu Eluemuno (2007-2011), a period of 12 uninterrupted years. Ayamelum has only been there for 7 years now through Hon. Chizor Obidigwe (2011-2015) and the present incumbent, Hon. Gabriel Onyenwife (2015-2018). Is Ayamelum not entitled to the same 12 years Oyi enjoyed in the House of Representatives before bundling them out of Abuja. Is Ayamelum a "Junior" or "equal" factor in the political equation of Oyi/Ayamelum Federal Constituency? What is good for the goose should be equally good for the gander. The justice of the matter is that Ayamelum should have their 12 years in the Federal House of Representatives before the issue of Zoning will arise.
EQUALITY IS EQUITY!
