10th Assembly, APC And The Dilemma Of Zoning Politics
However, this argument did not survive in the two political parties and here we are, some stakeholders who ‘bullied’ their way into power without recourse to zoning are now the proponents of zoning positions in the 10th Assembly, what an irony.
Just like the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu nursed a lifetime ambition of becoming the president of Nigeria and refused to be deterred by the argument of justice and fairness, some lawmakers have also for several years nursed individual ambitions and over time developed a war chest to pursue such ambition.
I am yet to see the magic APC would perform to convince the North West to jettison the quest for the position of the President of the Senate. A zone that delivered the highest number of votes to the party and its presidential candidate deserves compensation from the party.
Meanwhile, irrespective of the argument in favor of the zones that produce majority lawmakers, the party has a duty to ensure national spread and possibly make an inroad to the zones where it is less popular. This is the dilemma and it will take a team of political genius to solve it with minimal consequences.
While I fervently hope that APC would find a way around the logjam, my fear may, eventually, be confirmed.
