As the clamour for zoning of speakership of the Anambra State House of Assembly to the southern senatorial district gathers momentum,the Member representing Aguata =1 State Constituency,Hon Dr Ikechukwu Umeh,has called on those clamouring for such zoning arrangement in this new  political dispensation to soft pedal.

Hon Umeh who was speaking with National Vision at Nsugbe Community during a social event,stated that the lawmakers have no problem with zoning of key political offices in this new dispensation led by Governor Obiano.

''The truth is that in the House of Assembly we are united.I don't know why people from outside are trying to thwart what we are having in the House.I am from the south,we are not agitating for anything at least for this session''

The Legislator told our correspondent that the issue of zoning the speakership of the State Assembly should be left for the next session of the House to decide after 2015 general elections.

''When the new House members come next year,then we will start shifting things.Let us leave the House as it is.We are okay with it,so people from outside should not come inside and agitate for us''

He further declared the unflinching loyalty and support of the lawmakers to the Princess Chinwe Nwaebili led House of Assembly in the state,adding that she had proved to be capable of leading the Legislature.

''We are still okay with our speaker.Our speaker is doing fine,at least she is the backbone that is holding the whole House together.So we are still very happy with her.So she should continue,after the election which is only one year away,we change positions.''

He described Senator Alphonsus Igbeke,the Chief Celebrant in the social event at Nsugbe,as a man of substance who has done much to uplift humanity and wished him many more years.
