Former Nasarawa Governor,
Abdullahi Adamu says merit
should be considered ahead of
zoning in 2023.

The lawmaker said calls for
rotation of offices are
unconstitutional and “wishful
thinking”.

Adamu, the Senator representing
Nasarawa West District, spoke to
reporters on Monday in Abuja.

”We are not being practical.
How do you zone it? The
constitution says you can only
become a president through the
ballot box,” he said.

Adamu insisted that no section of
the Nigerian constitution backs
zoning or rotation.

He reminded proponents that the
constitution is being reviewed and
that if they want the presidential
position to be zoned, a proposal
should be made.

“You can’t just whisk away, a
situation that is fundamental to
the life of a country. You can’t
talk of merit and talk of zoning.
On the issue of rotation, let us
just go by merit,” he added.

Adamu advised political parties to
sell themselves, their candidates
and allow Nigerians to decide the
presidential results at the polls.
