The former senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani has declared that zoning must be written in the constitution to sustain Nigeria.

During his speech in an interview on Channels Television on Friday, Sani stated that the principles of fairness and equity must be embraced to ensure that no part of the country dominates another.

In his statement, he declared “to solve this problem, this needs to be clearly stated in our constitution and it should be written in the language that there would be no interpretation whether it is Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba and Ijaw. If the presidency is in the north for eight years, it should be in the south for eight years so that there will be no need for a lawyer or legal luminary to explain this thing to us.”

However, considering the fact that the presidency might fall to incompetent hands because of power rotation, Sani said Nigeria can have both zoning and competence as the yardstick in deciding who will be president in 2023 while adding that all parts of the country are blessed with competent leaders.
