The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has again flayed the idea of zoning of political positions.

Speaking at the Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja, El-Rufai insisted that no country progresses with such arrangement.

El-Rufai said instead every qualified person should be given equal opportunity to contest for political positions.

In Nigeria, political offices especially the presidency are rotated on the basis of geographical zones. Ahead of the 2023 election, there have been calls for the presidency to return to the South.

Governor El-Rufai argues that leaders should not be selected by zones as it will lead to inefficiency.

“There is no country in the world that has made progress in the last 50 years that rotates its leaders. I think if we move away from this fixation about distribution to selecting or picking the best person to get the job done when the job is done, everybody benefits.

“Right now, we are distributing this and we are not making any progress because the focus is on distribution.”

  1. I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Fantastic work!

  2. This blog is definitely rather handy since I’m at the moment creating an internet floral website – although I am only starting out therefore it’s really fairly small, nothing like this site. Can link to a few of the posts here as they are quite. Thanks much. Zoey Olsen

  3. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100 certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
