A former Kano State governor, Ibrahim Shekarau, has said that Nigerians should not be bothered about zones but should place priority on credibility ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The debates about power returning to the northern part of the country in 2027 have been going on for a while now.
Just this weekend, the presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, in the 2023 election, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso met with former president, Olusegun Obasanjo.
However, there is an argument that the southern region, which produced President Bola Tinubu, is yet to exhaust eight years in office.
Shekarau is, however, of the opinion that the region should not be the focus at this point but credibility.
“All the parties should come up with their planning in a situation whereby they make the best of choices.
“But for Nigerians now to decide, our concern is ‘Let’s look at the candidates produced by the parties’,” Shekarau said on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
“Our challenge is that all the parties should give Nigerians correct candidates so we have the best to choose from.
“But if you give us all evils, we will choose the best from the evils,” the former governor added.
