2015 Governorship: Ogonis Carpet Wike, Obuah Over Zoning

The people of Ogoni in Rivers State under the aegis of Gokana Progressive Union (GPU), have carpeted the Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike and the factional chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Felix Obuah over recent comments to the effect that zoning would be inconsequential on who becomes governor of the state in 2015.
Former House of Representatives aspirant in the area Christian Giami, who leads the group, including politicians across Rivers South-East Senatorial District, said that zoning had been a tradition of PDP, which the duo of Wike and Obuah cannot over rule by fiat.
Giami, who spoke in Port Harcourt, noted that politicians from Rivers South-East Senatorial District roundly condemn in its entirety, the comments credited to the duo.
According to him, “ the party has kept to its zoning arrangements from the national to the ward levels since 1999, and it would be out of place for anybody to move against the rules and norms of the party now.
‘We are calling for caution to avoid confusion in the system”, he said, adding that “ Rivers South-East has paid its dues by lending unflinching support to other zones to produce governors in the state since 1999.
‘it is time for all Rivers people to support us. No power or conspiracy can stop the zone from producing the next state chief executive  come 2015,” Giami insisted.
