Answer:
Actually, it’s the opposite - in practice, the Security Council will not nominate a candidate for Secretary-General from a nation that is one of the Permanent Members of the Security Council, since this would be seen as giving even more influence to a country that already has more influence than most. If anyone did even suggest such a candidate, at least one other Permanent Member would definitely veto it.
The only exception to this rule in the history of the UN has been Gladwyn Jebb of the UK, who served as the Executive Secretary of the Preparatory Commission of the United Nations in 1945,.
