2023: Lagos APC Rejects Move To Dump Zoning, Throw Presidential Ticket Open by bolaayenimo: 6:15pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has rejected moves by some powerbrokers in the party to dump the existing zoning arrangement and throw the presidential ticket open to all aspirants both in the North and South. Speaking in a chat with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Alhaji Tunde Balogun, the State Chairman of the party, said it will amount to changing the goalposts in the middle of the game if the zoning arrangement is jettisoned now when President Muhammadu Buhari is almost completing his tenure in office. Warning that dumping the zoning arrangement now may cause crisis within the party, Balogun advised that the gentleman’s agreement reached by the founding fathers of the party must be strictly adhered to in the spirit of Justice, fair play, and equity. His words: “It is not possible for the ticket to be thrown open. We have founding fathers of this party and based on their agreement at their meetings then, President Muhammadu Buhari was able to pick the ticket after it was zoned to the North. “So, now that he is completing his eight years, how can we now begin to change the goalposts in the middle of the game by saying the ticket should be thrown open to both North and South? “It has been agreed then that the zoning arrangement should continue in 2023, which means it has to come to the South. “Talking of throwing the ticket open doesn’t show fairness and justice. In order not to create problems for ourselves, it is just wise for us to abide by our agreements in the spirit of justice and fair play.” https://www.independent.ng/2023-lagos-apc-rejects-move-to-dump-zoning-throw-presidential-ticket-open-to-all/

“So, now that he is completing his eight years, how can we now begin to change the goalposts in the middle of the game by saying the ticket should be thrown open to both North and South? Truly that no make sense...Let Apc microzone it to Southern Nigeria which would be opened to SE, SW and SS . Anyone wey him think say him get weight should try his luck... Bottom line Apc should zone their presidency to Southern Nigeria. |

helinues:Stop trying to be clever ...the reason for zoning is so that each 6 geopolitical zone can teast power so what are you saying It's either it's thrown open or given to south east simple You guys have no basis to demand this there is nothing like southern zone |

Igbochief001: Wondering why SE as a region are now much interested in the presidency under Apc, Almajiri party, Devilish party? Una Imam don dey eat pork?? You people should be more concerned about the reservable Pdp VP slots waiting for una in the cooler... One thing about it, most region no really dey contest am with your region... So pls face that Or perhaps, your region could show some balls to Pdp and demand the presidency to be zoned to SE, 2 decades plus dedication no be beans now.. Even pikin wey dem born that time don dey university... |

Igbochief001: As you can see from my write up, I suggested that Apc should microzone the ticket to South comprising SE, SW and SS.. Let each region present their most credible candidate and try their luck at Apc presidential primary... Fair enough |

helinues:It's called zoning it's rotation by zoning , one Zone north , one zone south South west and south south ( half ) has had their turn ...what is south west looking for If it's zoning it's to be micro zoned to south east or let's kill zoning and throw it open |

Igbochief001: @ bolded wasn't part of Apc agreement..And still not considered to be part of the gentle man agreement.. South is South, North is north... If zoned to South, let all the region in the zone contest, If zoned to North, let all the region contest Chikena |
