Of zoning and Nigeria’s progress

Democracy as we all know is the system of government in which citizens of the country choose who will represent or lead them. In Nigeria, some political parties have adopted power shift in order to give equal opportunity to The North and South.

However, our experience of the past years has shown that there is not much difference among those elected from the various parts of the country in solving our problems.

• FG budgets 14.6bn for ‘suspended’ national carrier project in 3 years
• Senate summons power, petroleum ministers, others over FG’s borrowing plan

Hence, it is time for Nigerians to come together and support anyone, whatever his tribe, religion or region insofar as he or she would solve our problems.

Let us keep aside politics of nepotism, sectionalism, ethno-religious bigotry and put our dear country first. Nigeria is our country, let us support candidates that come up with good plans even if they have do not have money. Let us look at those always ready to serve not be served.

May God bless Nigeria and give us good leaders.
