Ochoga added that while he appreciates and commends Apa/Agatu youth for the bold steps so far taken he however, criticize their message of zoning the deputy governorship position to them. He further urged the youth to de-emphasize zoning and charge them to amplify integrity adding that merit and competence should not be murdered on the alter of zoning, narrow and sectional interest.

Speaking earlier, the national coordinator of the group, Comrade Adanu Isaiah, was emphatic that the political short change of Apa/Agatu in the scheme of things in Idoma land has reached its crescendo and that effort should be made by genuine elites like Ochoga to change the negative narratives reminiscent with the Federal Constituency of Apa/Agatu.

Isaiah argued that the political mal-treatment meted out to Apa/Agatu axis has persisted and continue unabated for too long even from his days as a child and appeal for the elder statesman’s cooperation to bring to a permanent end their marginalization.
