2023 Presidency: Governor Fayemi Kicks Against Zoning

Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has said he is not in support of zoning.

Fayemi stated this while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics yesterday.

The governor was reacting to various calls for Nigeria to have a president from the Southern part of the country in 2023.

Fayemi said he understands why those who feel marginalized are clamoring for the presidency, but insisted that “in a country that is multicultural, multireligious and multiethnic, one of the equilibrating mechanisms is to ensure that those in leadership represent the mosaic that the country is.

Question: What’s your view about Zoning in 2023?

FAYEMI: I don’t believe in Zoning

Question: But your colleagues like Fashola and Elrufai(And Amaechi) advocate for Zoning in 2023 saying it was part of APC arrangement in 2014?

FAYEMI: Well, they are my friends and I don’t want to argue with what they say.
