Zoning Cannot Stop My Presidential Ambition – Yerima
A former governor of Zamfara State, Senator Ahmad Sani Yerima, has said zoning cannot stop his aspiration to become the next President of the country in 2023.
He made this known in a chat with reporters on the sideline of the 25th anniversary and graduation ceremony of Nurul Tilawah International School in Zaria, at the weekend.
Yerima, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), disclosed that zoning is not recognised by the country’s Constitution and should be rejected by all.
The governor, who had also declared his presidential ambition last year, added that the agitation for zoning cannot derail the plan to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Yerima said despite the position of the Southern Governors and some Southern leaders, he is not withdrawing his interest in contesting the 2023 presidency.
He said, “Democracy is all about people’s choice, irrespective of where one comes from, hence I cannot be deterred by such agitation.”
