Yemi Akinwonmi, acting national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said zoning presidency is not problem for the country.
In recent times, the debate on the zoning of the presidency ahead of the 2023 elections has dominated political discourse.
Speaking on Monday in an interview on Channels Television, Akinwonmi recalled that there was once a Muslim-muslim ticket for the presidency and Nigerians voted for them overwhelmingly.
He said: “Zoning is not the problem of Nigeria, particularly at this hour of the day. The problem of Nigeria is to search for a true Nigerian who is ready to lead by example; who is ready to do things that will allay our problem of hunger, problem of economy, problem of banditry — all problems — and solve everything; who will return Nigeria to the comity of nations,”

“Zoning has never been a problem. You remember that in Nigerian history, there was a zoning that gave Muslim-Muslim ticket and we all unanimously voted for that. So, zoning is not a problem. Where a person comes from is not a problem. What Nigerians are quarrelling with is corruption and indecent behaviour.”
