Onuchukwu said Ihedioha's name was dropped after his activities were reviewed.
“They (a committee) came up with few names, but we set up another committee at our national level to look at the names they came up with.
"And one of the names they listed was Emeka Ihedioha, the governor of Imo state, but after due consultations, his name was completely dropped because he is one of those who are the enemies of the local people," he said.
