Zoning and Nigeria 2023

Nigeria is a complex society, though many Nigerians try to discard that fact, but it’s simply the truth. Given the political structure in Nigeria, a presidential candidate cannot win an election except he has 2/3 majority votes from the 36 states plus Federal Capital Territory. It is important to note that Northern Nigeria is the most politically sophisticated zone in the country that is they are the more active politically than other regions; they vote in mass unison, they have more politicians coupled with being the most populous region in the country. For the instance, the 2011 Nigeria Presidential election recorded a total turnout of 53.7% in which the north made up of 70% of the turnout, also the 2015 presidential election that recorded a turnout of 44% the north made up 75% of the turnout; in the 2019 presidential election, Kano had the highest number of registered voters which was about 4 million.

Now, Zoning in Nigeria is an agreement between the political class of the country that presidency should be shared between the North and the South where the North would have the presidency for 8 uninterrupted years and where the south would take over and have same. The idea of national zoning first emerged in the 1999 election where it was agreed that the presidency should be zoned to the south western part of the country, where Chief Olusegun Obasanjo of the Peoples Democratic Party contested against Chief Olu Falae of the Action Democracy. However from there onward, zoning became more of a party agreement that a national agreement as in the 2003 Presidential election, the three major candidates were from different geo- political zones, the candidates were then president Olusegun Obasanjo of the Peoples Democratic Party, Gen.Muhammadu Buhari of the All National Political Party and Chief Chukwuemeka Ojukwu of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, in the 2007 election where by zoning arrangement, power was transferred to the North, the major candidates were from the north; Alhaji Musa Yar’adua of the Peoples Democratic Party, Gen Muhammadu Buhari of the All National Political Party and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Action Congress, the 2011 and 2015 presidential elections witnessed a more political party zoning as the North went against the South; in 2011 it was Dr Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party against Gen Muhammadu Buhari of the Congress for Progressive Change, Nuhu Rihabu of the Action Congress of Nigeria and Alhaji Ibrahim Shekarau of the All National Political party and in 2015 saw Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressive Congress. With all of these historic breakdowns, we can see that the power zoning is more of a political party arrangement than a national agreement. We can also note that zoning is not entrenched in the 1999 constitution.

As 2023 approaches the body language of political parties and geo-political regions groups have started to emerge. The North through their ethnic associations such as the Northern Elders Forum, Northern Consultative Forum with their key members such as second republic lawmaker Junaid Muhammed and leader of the NEF, Dr Ango Abdullahi among others have stated that the north hold unto power for at least 4 more years to be fully at least with the south, another of their reasons being that president Buhari has failed the north hence they need more years to right the wrongs of the president. Notable names such as Atiku Abubakar, Bukola Saraki, Aminu Tambuwal, Nasiu El rufai etc are linked with this.
On the other side, the South west geo political region are also clamoring for the presidency seat in 2023 though unlike the north, the groups of the south west has not openly endorsed the idea of Yoruba presidency, it is the political class that is teasing such ambitions. It has been reported severally of how posters and billboards endorsing the candidacy of the APC national leader Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has been seen round the south west states, Tinubu however on several occasions has come out to dissociate him from such endorsement stating that 2023 is too far away for such “distractions”, however most Nigerians believe Tinubu is desperate for the presidency seat. Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is not left out of the tussle as people believe the president Buhari has more faith in the vice president to succeed him and continue the works of the present administration. Mr Kayode Fayemi, governor of Ekiti State and Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum is also viewed as a likely contender in the race to 2023; it is rumored that he has wide range support from most governors of the country who want their chairman to be president.

The South East are not also left out of the tussle with a huge number of Nigerians believe that the South East have more genuine reasons to be zoned the presidency in 2023 as it been over 50 they lasted produced a president and for the sake of national unity, they deserve the ticket; however there exists some stumbling blocks to their ambition, in Nigeria politics the ruling party to a large extent determines who will succeed who in various elections; in the last two elections 2015/2019, the ruling APC failed woefully in the South East failing to win any state in the zone at the last presidential election, hence political analysts feel that the ruling party won’t seed their ticket to who doesn’t support them, it is also believed by most Nigerians that the South East doesn’t have presidential materials as a politician. It has been predicted that due to the obvious desperation of the PDP to return to power, it may zone its ticket to the North, however action could be seen as a top betrayal to the south east’s loyalty to the party since 1999.

In conclusion, one thing is certain, the 2023 elections could be a final straw to the unity of the country as it is believed that a denial to the Igbo presidency could spring up more agitations for self determination of the Igbo as the theories of marginalization would be more glaring. A Yoruba presidency looks more like a political compensation of loyalty from the North and the North presidency could be viewed as more of a test of superiority. The political actors are hereby humbly advised to trade carefully their actions and words throughout the buildup to the electioneering period, as calculations are still being made, the future of the country should be on the minds of such actors. An Igbo presidency could stop a potential secession; it would be interesting as the days go by.

Most people talk as if power is a biscuit that you buy from the shop nearby and you hand over to a crying kid and she keeps quiet. No it isn't. Let me ask you. You have millions in your house and I am an armed robber, I just walk into your house and say "bring all your money," without any gun, charm or any weapon in my hand. What will you do? Won't you give me dirty slap and call the police or even beat me to stupor?
But if I walk inside with ak47 and double barrel gun and say "your money or your life" won't you bring out what you have and beg for your life?

That is how the power tussle is in Nigeria. Those saying that the power should go to the ibos, (I don't say, the ibo shouldn't rule oops don't get me wrong) but they don't give power to someone, you have to work for it, you have to sweat for it!!!! Power is not cheap, it isnot given out freely like that, it is taken, so if Ibo guys want the power, let them unite and come for it, but as we have seen recently, all they do is fight amongst themselves, to even unite and present a candidate is a big issue amongst them. Okorocha is bad, Peter obi is bad, ekweremadu is bad, David umahi is bad, you bad mouth all your aspiring guys, you shoot down all of them, who are you then going to present as your candidate, the south east is it's own worst enemy. Last last everybody is fighting for their own pocket, nothing concerns anybody about the region. Just gimme my share let me pass politics. Till when?

Oga no south east person or Igbo person has ever condemned Peter obi or uhmai ...when would you yorubas stop to project your imagination on others

When peter obi was given the vice Presidential ticket it's normal that some people feel aggrieved but they all worked together to make sure he won the south convincingly ...beating osibanjo at his own polling unit

Show me a region that's more politically United than igbos

Are yorubas United ? Are they supporting one candidate ...was it not yorubas that tried to bring obasanjo down ? ...which region has crisis in regional politics

Yorubas lost PDP chairman because u could not pick one candidate

You nearly recently could not agree on a candidate for APC vice chairman

Have yoruabas brought out a candidate ? And all u think about is igbos

Igbos are not United ...igbos voted in one direction what contradiction ....we are Republicans everyone have an opinion and talk but at the end we go in the same direction

Tell me a region more United than igbos

At times people see this zoning as a cheat, most especially the SE. As for me, I see political spaces as market, the way you market your products will determine how people will patronize you. When you are shouting SE SE SE, do you have good products, and how are you marketing it. Politics today has gone beyond we are the zone.

Don't be silly. Is it voting for national parties like the PDP that is sectional politics? When the Igbos voted for Obasanjo, Yar'Adua, GEJ, and Atiku in that order, which of these candidates was a 'sectional' candidate in the sense of being an Igbo man?

On the other hand, Yorubas have long been the ones voting for their regional parties - AD, ACN, etc until it became APC (abokki - Yoruba party). Some of you just enjoy being daft.

You people Surprise me. How can someone say that the north (the north that we know) have more presidential materials or even better presidential candidates. If the presidential candidates from the north are what you call presidential materials, then everybody in the south east is a presidential material (boy, girl, man, woman, Mad Men, drunkards, criminals).

Just simply say that the north has more voting power. Saying that the north has more or better presidential candidate is very stupid. Even if a total fool was a northern apc candidate,the north will still vote because he is from there simple. We have an example in aso rock.


So stop trying to cover the trbalisim in the north by saying that the south east is not politically United because it is a LIE.

You people Surprise me. How can someone say that the north (the north that we know) have more presidential materials or even better presidential candidates. If the presidential candidates from the north are what you call presidential materials, then everybody in the south east is a presidential material (boy, girl, man, woman, Mad Men, drunkards, criminals).

Don't be silly. Is it voting for national parties like the PDP that is sectional politics? When the Igbos voted for Obasanjo, Yar'Adua, GEJ, and Atiku in that order, which of these candidates was a 'sectional' candidate in the sense of being an Igbo man?

On the other hand, Yorubas have long been the ones voting for their regional parties - AD, ACN, etc until it became APC (abokki - Yoruba party). Some of you just enjoy being daft.

Now you are talking, let the PDP give their presidential ticket to SE, to whom much is given, much is expected.
As you have rightly said, APC is ( aboki - Yoruba )party, let APC give their ticket to SW and let the voters decide who they want.

SW sacrificed South South (Jonathan) using PROPAGANDA in 2015 so they can have the presidency in 2023. Compare Jonathan's and Buhari' s administration and tell yourself the truth. SE and SS, put on your thinking caps.
