Senator Theodore Orji
Senator Theodore Orji (PDP-Abia Central) has insisted that the zoning arrangements in Abia state should be respected by all political parties.
The lawmaker made this known at the weekend when he received the Umunneato Council of Chiefs and select women leaders.
The former State governor stated that the Abia charter of equity agreed upon by the founding fathers of the state recommended power rotation among the three senatorial zones in the state.
Orji said his belief in the document informed his insistence on power shift to Abia South in 2015 after his second tenure as Governor.
“It will be proper for Abia South senatorial zone to be allowed to complete their turn by renewing Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu’s mandate in 2019,” Orji said.
