Okorocha speaks against Zoning

Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has tasked Nigerians to jettison zoning arrangement and focus on fielding intelligent candidates for public offices ahead 2019 general elections.

Okorocha made this  call while featuring on Channels Television’s Programme, Roadmap To 2019 on Monday.

His words: “We are talking about somebody who has something upstairs irrespective of where he comes come, let him govern.”

He explained that the North Western zone has produced Nigeria’s president thrice.

According to him: “The three civilian Presidents of the Federal Republic of Nigeria are all from the North West, not from the North East or North Central.

“Shagari is from Sokoto in North West, even Buhari is from Katsina North West and his brother, Yar Adua in North West.

“We are talking about people who have something upstairs to govern. Why are we being so primitive at this time while we are talking about who has what it takes to help this country,”

The Chairman of Progressives Governors Forum stated that he is not an advocate of the zone that produces the nation’s leader provided the president has something tangible to offer.

 Okorocha insisted that “the best (should) come and help the nation.”
