• Zoning not in the constitution, it’s parties’ affair – Arewa Consultative ForumSocio-political organisations in the central and southern parts of the country on Wednesday took a swipe at Mamman Daur
a, a nephew of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari’s , over his comment on the zoning of the presidency in 2023.
Daura had, in an interview with the Hausa Service of the BBC, which was monitored in Abuja on Tuesday, said the country rotated the presidency thrice. Attamah stated, “Having benefited enormously, he now wants zoning jettisoned because it is the turn of the south.“Talking about competence or the most qualified, was President Buhari the most qualified Nigerian when he ascended the Presidency?
Calling for fairness, he asked, “By the way, who determines the most qualified or competent candidate?”On its part, the pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, said Daura should have made the call for the abandonment of zoning in 2015 when Buhari became President. He said, “Buhari became President because of the North and South zoning. So if Buhari is incompetent, Mamman Daura should tell Nigerians that his uncle is incompetent.”
“I disagree with him. That statement only exposes what they are trying to do. That is to say, ‘Let the Presidency remain in the North after 2023. There are competent people in every section of the country. So to use that as an argument to keep the Presidency in the North beyond 2023 is erroneous, deceitful and unacceptable.”
