All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain, Osita Izunaso says his emergence as the senate president of the 10th National Assembly will put a stop to secession agitation from the South-East.
Izunaso said this when he spoke in Abuja on Monday, saying that the South-East should be allowed to produce the Senate President for the 10th Assembly for justice, fairness and equity.
The APC chieftain believes he is the most qualified candidate for the position, adding that agitation in his region will subside if an Igbo leads the next Senate.
He further stated that the development wo2uld ensure inclusiveness and lessen the demand for Biafra, especially among youths “misled by separatists”.

The Imo West Senator-Elect noted that the South-East remains the “most disadvantaged geopolitical zone since 1960”.
“The intense Igbo sentiment against political exclusion and marginalisation in Nigeria is justified.
“The 10th National Assembly gives us the opportunity to address the situation,” said the former APC National Organising Secretary.
56-year-old Izunaso was first elected into the House of Representatives in 2003 and later into the Senate in 2007.
He served as chairman of committees, including Rules and Business, Local and Foreign Debts, Housing, Gas, Foreign Affairs and Sports Development.
