Ekiti state - A former minister of works, Dayo Adeyeye, has argued that the fact that the southwest zone has produced the president in the past won’t stop it from clinching the presidential ticket if the All Progressives Congress (APC) zoned the 2023 ticket to the south.

PM News reported that Adeyeye made the statement in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday, June 15, during the official launching of the South West Agenda (SWAGA) 2023, a political platform rooting for the presidential aspiration of the former Lagos governor.
Adeyeye says Tinubu is the best man for the job
The ex-minister argued that Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains the right man to succeed President Buhari.
He said:
“You could all remember that the late President, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua was from Katsina State and when the ticket went back to the North in 2007, they picked President Muhammadu Buhari from Katsina. They didn’t say his state had produced President before.''
The APC chieftain stated that Tinubu has the required qualities to lead Nigeria because he believes in uniting the country.
The Nation reported that Adeyeye in May 2021, had promised that the SWAGA will become a Nigerian agenda.
He had also stated that there is justification for presidential zoning to the south to foster equity, fairness, justice, and a sense of belonging.
