North Seeks Three More Geopolitical Zones by sammyzacks(m): 11:14am On May 21, 2012

The North is suspicious that some influential Southern politicians are lobbying for the inclusion of the zoning formula in the constitution as part of a game plan for the 2015 polls. 
The North’s counter-plot is the planned demand for three more geopolitical zones. 
A highly-placed source from the North, who is also in the Constitution Review Committee, said: “We have gone far in the proposed amendments to the 1999 Constitution. 
“One burning issue which the Northern Senators have been meeting on, is the zoning formula, which some forces are seeking to be included in the Constitution. 
“The Northern Senators have resolved to push for the review of the present six-zonal structure, if zoning will be a clause in the Constitution. 
“The North wants three more additional zones to bring its share of the structure to six. So, altogether, we will have nine geopolitical zones after the amendment, with six in the North and three in the South. 
“That is the only condition that will make the North to accept the inclusion of zoning formula in the Constitution.” 
Responding to a question, the source added: “The North is bigger than other parts of the country in size or landmass and population. If power has to rotate among geopolitical zones, we believe the North will be cheated. 
“Also, do not forget that the present six zones were created by the military to satisfy their whims and caprices and please a segment of the military establishment.” 
Besides zoning, some members of the National Assembly are lobbying for the elevation of some old provinces to states.
