Zoning or no Zoning?The way forward.
Power Rotation or "Zoning" has been a national or would I say popular word in the Nigerian polity.Since the demise of president Yar'adua,zoning became a very contentious issue.Zoning as it stands in the Nigerian polity is an agreement reached upon by the founding founders of the ruling party,the PDP in 1999 allowing power Rotation among the protectorates(North & South) and not geo political zones of the country.The gentleman's agreement reached upon saw the emergence of Olusegun Obasanjo (from the south)as president followed by the late Umaru Yar'adua.Since after the demise of one of the best,effecient,loyal and dedicated President Nigeria have ever produced,The late Umaru Musa Yar'adua,The Nigerian polity have known no peace by the PDP stalwalts,shouting on the ears of the masses and making Zoning a constituitional thing and making life miserable and unbearable for the Nigerian Populace and the so called stalwats have failed to address the issue which is as a result of mistrust and bridging of a written agreement as acclaimed by the PDP.From my own political view,Zoning plays a part in National Integration and harmony of the polity,it gives the protectorates or geo political zone a sigh of relief to show that they are not being marginalised,it makes the people from different ethnic culture and belief to have a hope that one day,they would have their son representing them at the highest level to have a fair share of the National cake and history of the country.Nigeria is so big that it cannot be ruled by a certain zone of people leaving the minority to be spectators,fans,supporters and voters if the need arises.My own view is that the National Assembly under the leadership of Senator David Mark are in a deep slumber and needs to be woken to know that zoning must be a constituitional thing and the bill for zoning should be passed by the National Assembly and implemented immediately.
