Ooni Condemns Zoning Of Presidency, Says Calls Based On Emotion Not On Competency

Waterfield Luxury Hotel, Akobo, Ibadan.

Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja ll, the Ooni of Ife, has described the calls for the zoning of the presidency in the 2023 elections, as “based on emotions.”

Ooni said this on Friday in a chat with ARISE TV.

There have been calls for political parties to zone their presidential tickets to the south, in what several politicians from the region have described as a move that will be in the interest of “fairness, equity and justice.”

The debate took a new twist earlier in May when the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) decided to forgo zoning and throw open its presidential ticket.

Adding his voice to the debate, the Ooni urged Nigerians to focus on competence, adding that “emotion has been our problem in this country for a long time, and that is why we are not growing”.

“The call for zoning is based on emotions. Let us cut the chase and go to the factual things. Who is going to turn around this country, irrespective of emotions and sentiments? We have built our institutions on emotions and sentiment, which is unfortunate because it will not last,” he said.

“We have big problems in this country. Who is going to solve them? Let us look at it with our analytical minds other than emotions and sentiments of zoning.

“Let’s look at competence in Nigeria. Emotion has been our problem in this country for a long time, and that is why we are not growing.”

Ajimobi’s Aide, Open Salawu Defects To PDP

Engineer Mufutau Open Salawu FNSE, a former All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and former Special Adviser to Late Governor Abiola Ajimobi, has joined the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Open Salawu, an APC aspirant for the Federal Constituencies of Ogbomoso North, Ogbomoso South, and Oriire, made this known in a statement made accessible to newsmen on Saturday.

He left the APC two weeks ago due to alleged undemocratic practices.

“Friends and Associates, after 2 weeks of consultation, I now proclaim to join PDP,” the statement stated.

“My Reasons for political defection is attributed to political interest, the pursuit of political ambition, political ideology and agenda.
Every person is entitled to assemble freely and associate with other persons, and in particular he may form or belong to any political party and association in the protection of his interests.

However, my Choice of PDP is not farfetched from the attention and opportunities the Government of his Excellency Engr. Seyi Makinde is providing for young and vibrant people of our dear State in contributing to the development of Oyo State.

“Sole ownership of LAUTECH and creation of more faculties will tremendously increase the intake of the school and economics benefits of Oyo State and Ogbomoso in particular.

“The on-going Ogbomoso/ iseyin Road is a blessing not only for the communal uses but the farmers along the axis that now have hope of getting their products to urban markets for value chain.

“I urge my supporters throughout Oyo state to join hands in supporting this government of Engr Seyi Makinde in developing Oyo State beyond 2023.”

I have experience in real wars and will use my expertise to solve Nigeria’s insecurity – Fayemi

Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the governor of Ekiti State and a presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), has stated that he is one of the few Nigerians with real-world expertise in ending wars.

The governor announced this on Thursday in Kaduna, as part of his continuous consultation to seek the support of delegates ahead of the APC presidential primary, according to a statement released yesterday in Abuja by the spokesman for Dr. Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organisation, Femi Ige.

Waterfield Luxury Hotel, Akobo, Ibadan.

To that aim, Fayemi offered to apply all of his experience resolving internecine battles in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Rwanda, and Sri Lanka to the fight against insurgency and banditry in the country.

Fayemi said, “I’m one of the few Nigerians with real time experience in resolving wars. I consulted for Nigeria under President Olusegun Obasanjo, I was involved in the resolution of the wars in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Rwanda and bringing the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka to the negotiation table.

“Besides that real time experience in war resolution, I have a Doctorate Degree in War Studies. If I can bring peace to other lands, why not my own country.

“Nigeria is facing a war situation that we can’t afford to put a neophyte in power, the repercussion is too ghastly to contemplate.”

The presidential hopeful assured that he would spare no effort to ensure that the country wins the fight that must be fought with tenacity against insecurity, banditry, unemployment, poverty, inequality, threats of national disintegration, and lawlessness.

Against this background, Fayemi noted that working with other key leaders of the party, a detailed blueprint that has been developed with corresponding timelines of implementation would be employed to guide the speedy and accelerated retooling of key institutions of state, including the armed forces, the police service and the civil service.
