The Minister of Art, Culture, and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, has said that power should remain in Southern Nigeria for the next four to six years to ensure political balance and inclusivity.
Musawa, who made the statement during an interview on Channels Television on Friday, said zoning remains necessary because Nigeria is yet to rise above ethnic divisions in its politics.
“I think zoning is important only because we have not been able to get over the doldrums of ethnicity and we’re not looking at ourselves as Nigerian,”
Reflecting on the post-Buhari political structure, the minister noted that after eight years of a Northern presidency, it was only fair that power shifted to the South.
"So it is understandable that after eight years of President Buhari, who was from the North, power needed to shift down to the South...power should certainly for the next four, six years remain in the Southern part of the country.”
