\u201cZoning system, even though it is not in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a strategy for winning elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking further, Ganduje said that his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) will win the 2023 presidential election, adding that the ruling party has done well for Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in 2023, APC will win the election because more people are coming into the party. Though we lost some governors because of intraparty problems, at the same time some are coming into the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso there is a very strong movement now to reconcile the major actors and I think that is also making the party stronger,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
