Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former lawmaker and presidential hopeful under the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, on Tuesday, called on major political parties in the country to zone their presidential ticket to the southeast for fairness and justice.<\/p>\n

The presidential hopeful who made the call while interacting with selected journalists in Abuja noted that almost all geopolitical zones in the country have had their fair share of the zoning arrangement, except the South East.<\/p>\n

He said \u201czoning is not the best. But we are not there yet, so there is a need for all zones to have a fair share. Zoning is very important for the development of Nigeria. Almost all geo-political zones have had their fair share of zoning, except the South East.<\/p>\n

\u201d In PDP\u2019s constitution, there is power rotation. So, the PDP and other major political parties should zone to the South. And once they do that, then it should be micro zoned to the South-East\u201d.<\/p>\n

On the mode of the party\u2019s primary election to choose a flag bearer, the Convener of New Nigeria Group (NNG) added, \u201cI am in support of direct primary, let the people decide who they want. What is the competence level of aspirants that want to be President? What is the person\u2019s character? And what is he coming up with? Nigerians and party members should be allowed to decide who has a superior strategy and mission to solve our problems.<\/p>\n

On the spate of killings in the country, Ohuabunwa said if elected as President in 2023, he will invest in intelligence to secure the country.<\/p>\n

He opined that poverty is one of the major causes of corruption in Nigeria and that it exists among those who have work and those who do not. \u201dIf they cannot get money to pay their bills, they get into corruption no matter their religion\u201d.<\/p>\n

To tackle corruption, he urged the government at all levels to create an enabling environment for more job opportunities and ensure that employees get a reasonable amount as living wages.<\/p>\n

Ohuabunwa, who assured that if elected he would tackle corruption head-on, said he will also ensure \u201cactive unrelenting implementation of rule of law to curtail corruption.<\/p>\n
