2027: Ex-Lawmaker rejects zoning claim, backs Ugochinyere for second term in Imo constituency
A former member of the House of Representatives, Rufus Omeire, has rejected claims that the House of Representatives seat for Ideato Federal Constituency in Imo State is subject to a zoning arrangement between Ideato North and Ideato South.
Mr Omeire, who is from Ideato South, said the constituency had never operated a formal zoning arrangement for the federal House seat.
