In this piece, LEKE BAIYEWU examines how the ruling All Progressives Congress and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party – Nigeria’s biggest political parties – will determine which zone or region of the country should produce the next president in 2023
From 1999, the South appears to have spent a longer time in power than the North. The Fourth Republic began with Olusegun Obasanjo as President for two tenure of four years each, from 1999 to 2007. Obasanjo was succeeded by Umaru Yar’Adua from 2017 to 2010 when he died in office. The then Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan , assumed office and completed Yar’Adua’s first tenure in 2011.
Indeed, some legal practitioners have stated that zoning of power does not exist in the Constitution but was only an intra-party plan introduced by the PDP. The proponents of zoning have, however, argued that it is a way of ensuring fairness and equity in the polity, giving each zone a sense of belonging.
The Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee of the APC has, however, said it will announce its zoning arrangements ahead of the party’s first national convention scheduled for February 26, 2022. “But we have yet to meet it,” the Secretary of the APC CECPC, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, told our correspondent.
The Southern leaders are accomplices to the conspiracy against the South, else they would have got the South to move & not keep guessing what two political parties, the APC & PDP, would do. Then the parties would run to the South to do equity.
