HURIWA, the Humans Rights Writers Association of Nigeria has called on Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu to step down from running for the seat of governor in Enugu state in 2023.
In a statement signed by the national coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, the association said Ekweremadu should not allow his personal ambition to push him into making untrue statements as there is nothing like political persecution in Enugu. They asked the Senator to refrain from running a lost contest and not raise alarm to gain public pity.
Onwubiko said that zoning has been the order in the political structure of the state, maintaining it is the turn of Enugu East Senatorial Zone to produce the next governor of the state while also stating that Ekweremmadu should resist inciting political violence among the people.
He also stated that the principle of zoning of key political offices has been sustained in Enugu since 1999.
