A former federal lawmaker, Dino Melaye, on Friday berated political parties in Nigeria over insistence on zoning , saying the practice was old-fashioned and devoid of excellence, IgbereTV reports
Melaye, who featured in a Channels TV’s Politics Today, said zoning was a childish philosophy in the United States and other advanced democracies.
The demand for zoning of public offices, particularly the presidency, has increased in recent times with many parties making preparations for the conduct of their primaries and conventions ahead of next year’s national elections.
The ex-lawmaker said: “After 60 years of independence, it will be myopic, porous, parochial, archaic, and analogue thinking to still be talking about zoning.
