Icheoku says the general interest of a whole is greater than the selfish interest of an individual. Igbos of Southeast should therefore not allow Ike Ekweremadu's selfish interest in retaining the deputy senate president to jeopardize their overall interest in heading at least one arm of the government.A deputy senate president has no authority except as may be delegated by the senate president added to his collection of juicy mind-boggling allowance as deputy senate president and his constituency allowance of over 150 million Naira every quarter? Therefore Icheoku sees no reason why Ike Ekweremadu has not summarily addressed a press conference intimating his willingness to resign his office as deputy senate president if that will make way for an Igbo speakership of the House or even the senate president. It is called sacrificing for the general common good of a group; but regrettably, the days of selfless politicking is long since gone in Nigeria and expecting such from this man might be a wishful thinking under the Nigeria "chop I chop" political landscape.
