History of these great iconian.
The former Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and father of today Nigeria Democracy !
His Minority Report during the Abacha Regime led Constitutional Conference produced today's 6 Geo Political Zones .
In that report too , it provided for Rotational President which will last for 30 years when all the 6 geo political zones must have tested the power on the basis of 5 years single term .It went further to add that after the rotational within 30 years , office of the President will then be open for all without zoning .
In the same report , Alex Ekwueme also succeeded in convincing members to allow for double ( two ) vice president for the Country and that the second Vice president will also come from the same zone with the president so that should the president die or impeached , 2nd Vice president will assumed the office of the president and complete the tenure of his zone . We would have avoided confusion and tension that followed the death of President Yar'Adua had we adopted those submissions into our Constitution.
It is of note that Alex Ekwueme was nominated by Ndi Igbo to lead Igbo delegates and pushed for harmonized Igbo position on Nigeria Constitutional Conference . Some of the above points were products of harmonized Igbo position at the pre Constitutional Conference of 1995 meeting held in Enugu tagged #Nkpoko Igbo .
The death of Abacha killed the report of that Constitutional Conference . For example , rotational presidency was and some key issues were reported on page 222 of Abacha Constitutional Conference that died with the death of Abacha !
Alex Ekwueme also played great role in returning Nigeria to Democratic role with the formation of G34 !
Alex Ekwueme 's G34 also played great role in formation of PDP !
A Man that singlehandedly turned Oko town which was a core ruler area to Semi Urban city !
A Human capital developer whose scholarship foundation ended creating scholars from various fields !
