El-rufai Opens The Battleground For 2023 Presidency

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, gave Nigerians a clear hint about his intention for 2023 presidential race at the weekend.

It has been in the realm of speculation before now, and people had thought the zoning clause will stand against him, even if he declares an interest.

To put himself in the perfect position to contest, he made a case for the abandonment of zoning arrangements for political offices as currently obtainable in the country.

Normally, it’s expected that, with President Buhari out, a southerner will take his place. But El-Rufai is striving to change this.

He said this needed to be de-emphasised and ultimately abandoned in favour of competence.

He noted that Nigeria could not afford to continue on the same path of zoning positions based on regions of origin.
