A former Vice-Presidential candidate under the Peoples Democratic Party, Peter Obi has reiterated the importance of electing competent hands to steer the affairs of the country in the right direction.
Obi made this assertion during a live interview on AriseTV on Monday.
With ongoing discussions amongst political stakeholders on zoning and its ramifications for the country, the former Anambra State Governor cautioned against zoning for the sake of it while sacrificing competence.
He said, “I advocate competence and not zoning, ideally. Every zone has competent people. In whatever we do, let us consider competence and capacity; not just zoning for the sake of zoning.”
The former governor of Anambra state further spoke on the ongoing issues within the PDP ranks regarding zoning and the 2023 Presidency.
“I can’t speculate on what the PDP zoning committee is going to do but in discussions, I do not see zoning of the Chairmanship to any section being a determinant on where the next President emerges from. We have to get it right in 2023 or we are finished.
“I can’t predict whether the PDP will zone the Presidency to the north but the Southern Governors want the position to come to the region,” he said.
