The run-up to the 2023 election and, in particular, the race for the presidency, is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing contests in Nigeria’s modern political history. This is so largely because the nation is caught in the middle of a contest involving two almost evenly matched major parties. Like in 2007, the contest for the top seat has no incumbent on the ballot.
These have been the dominant discussion among the two main parties, APC and PDP, as the current key harbingers of Nigeria’s political narrative. As such, it is not surprising that all the geo-political zones, through their socio-cultural cum political organisations, have been staking a claim to the big price – the presidency – to back up their demand for zoning or any other modality that suits their purpose.
It is noteworthy, in our considered opinion, that those who argue for zoning and rotation among geo-political lines as a basis for choosing leaders, have even gone as far as citing the concept of federal character as enshrined in the constitution.
