A former Chief Whip of the Senate, Professor Sola Adeyeye, has said that fairness demands that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) should zone its presidential ticket for the 2023 general elections to the South- East.

Speaking in an interview with SATURDAY INDEPENDENT in Abuja, Adeyeye, who said he does not believe in zoning, however, said if the APC decides that the ticket cannot go to the South-East because of the party’s popularity in the region, then the ticket should come to the South-West.

“I have given interviews in the past in which I said I am ardently opposed to zoning. If we are going to zone and it is based on fairness, then it should be zoned to the South-East.

“But I don’t believe in zoning. If my party says even if we zone it to the South-East, we don’t have enough people from the South-East in our party, in that case, then it should be the turn of the South-West.”

The APC chieftain said what Nigeria really needs is competence and getting the best hand from any part of the country to lead the country and not zoning.

“Honestly, beyond the gimmickry of zoning, what I will want is that we identify competent people who can run this republic well and we go for them.

“However, I don’t think that will happen because zoning has become a religion in our country.

Yes. He believes the North can produce better and more competent leaders than his own igbo tribe.

South East people cares very much....It is a dead person that won't care about politics in his state,region and nation.

Fight.. and why did competent Yoruba people que behind a confirmed incompetent Buhari in 2015..

South east careless about Apc.. the very demonic party .

But that’s what you are insinuating by that comment you made. The man supports zoning the ticket to SE and you responded with power returns to the north. If you had said SS, I would have understood

No no senator adeyeye you got it wrong, the same APC that is a terrorists party to easterners.

come and carry it and give them na

I hate went people who are supposed to be wise say stupid things.

this is politics and democracy, you fight for what you want,
your victory depend on how you treat people(Nigerians)

Why would I say south south.. to please yoruba abi wetin?

Apc is not sellable in igboland and south south..
and they’re not interested .. or you igbos celebrating Apc?

Last anambra election .. Apc was roundly rejected .. what lie did I say..

Igbos are not interested in anything Apc .. how else you wan take talk am..

Even the Adeyeye stressed on it..

But you Nairaland urchins will always wants to twist words to suit your Yoruba narratives

That is not true.
We have senators,house reps and governors under APC in SE.
Isn't PDP that have held Abia state hostage since 1999?
No payment of salaries and no development recorded since 1999.

An IGBO man can never be President of Nigeria. We will rather make Ikwere, Ijaw, Agbor or any other South South Man President.

This is my opinion. So argue with your keyboard.

Haha! Okay I get it. You have a personal issue with the yoruba tribe. Fine! Now what about PDP? If APC is giving their ticket to SW are you saying no capable igbo man or SS man can get the ticket in the PDP? Must it be a northerner according to your expectations?

P.s: I’m not a yoruba person so relax
