Aminu Bello Masari, Governor of Katsina State, has said the office of President should be zoned to the southern part of the country in the 2023 presidential election.
Governor Masari, a former speaker of the House of Representatives, stated this in an interview broadcast on Thursday.
According to the governor, the major political parties in the country should zone the presidential ticket to the southern region in the interest of fairness.
“With regards to zoning, fair is fair. If you ask me, I would, as a person — Aminu — think we should move the presidency to the southern part of the country,” the governor told Channels Television.
When asked which region of the south he is referring to, he said: “South is south.”.
Governor Masari also claimed that no political party has impacted the lives of “ordinary Nigerians” positively through social intervention programmes as the APC has done.
He insisted that the APC has a “bright future” in the country when compared to other parties after the 2023 general elections.
“No government, no political party since the independence in Nigeria has brought about social interventions like the APC government. Billions of naira have been paid to ordinary people,” he added.
