‘Cheap and Cherry-Picking’: COPDEM Chair Dismisses Okonkwo’s Zoning Claim

Kenneth Okonkwo argues that since 1999 the South has held Nigeria’s presidency longer than the North. He says the ADC ticket should therefore rotate to the North in 2027 if zoning is respected. Prince Rwang Pam Jnr, Chairman of the Coalition for the Protection of Democracy, rejects this view as “cheap.” He accuses Okonkwo of selectively using historical data to bolster his argument.

How do people weigh Okonkwo's zoning point against the chair's 'cherry-picking' critique? What principle should guide rotation in our democracy?

Are you prioritizing equal power sharing or proven competence when evaluating zoning versus cherry-picking claims?

I agree we should challenge selective zoning claims. True rotation needs clear, objective rules rather than nostalgia.

It's ironic the chair calls Okonkwo's claim selective, when regional balance has always been a key talking point for parties.

But na so zoning suppose run? Shouldn't merit and national unity matter more than strict regional quotas?

Parties could set clear rotation guidelines and publish timelines now, ensuring every region knows when it's due for the ticket.
