Former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has said he is against the idea of zoning of political offices ahead of the

2023 basic elections. Lamido, speaking on BBC Hausa on Saturday, stated that the zoning of political offices

has been counter-productive. According to him, the concept of zoning should be disposed of for the well-being and unity of Nigerians to take the centre phase.

“When it comes to zoning, I would say I don’t concur. The world must look at it as it is, everywhere it goes; everywhere we talk about human development, “Lamido stated.

Lamido asked Nigerians to think about virtue rather than ethnic culture or spiritual belief as they go to the surveys to elect a brand-new President in 2023.

Lamido had earlier stated Nigeria needs a leader with sterling qualities as that of Aminu Tambuwal as the next president.

Ahead of the 2023 general elections, a number of eminent Nigerian politicians have stated their objectives to run for president.

Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC; Senate Chief Whip, Orji Kalu; Aminu Tambuwal, Governor of Ebonyi state, Dave Umahi and previous Imo Governor Rochas Okorocha, have all shown interests in the presidency.
