2023: Northern youths reject zoning

A group of northern youths has said zoning or power shift clamour is not the best for the country.

At a media briefing in Abuja, the group said power has rotated from the South to the North since 1999 and that 2023 is an opportunity for Nigeria to get it right by voting a competent person that will move the country forward instead of selection.

Leader of the group known as Tambuwal Volunteers, Comrade Bilal Sidi Abubakar, said the presidential race should be open to all.

“There has been zoning since 1999 and both the North and the South have produced presidents but we are still lagging behind. 

“We want a competent person to emerge as president in 2023 because the country is lagging behind,” he said.
