Zoning among political parties ahead of 2023 elections

He said any competent person should be qualified enough to lead the country irrespective of whether he's Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo. He added that zoning can never be a democratic process.
The chairman accused Nigerian leaders of creating problems and regional crises among the people.
