Ekiti State Governor and presidential aspirant of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Kayode Fayemi, said zoning of the presidential ticket of the party will build trust and confidence in the Nigeria project.

Fayemi said this in an interview with newsmen shortly after addressing APC delegates in Borno and Yobe states on Thursday.

“Nigeria is a diverse country and there are diverse competency. There are competent people across the the country but in a multi-cultural, multi-dimensional and multi-religious society, you also need zoning to build trust and confidence,” he said.

The governor stated that zoning should not suppress competence and democracy, urging politicians in the country to abide by whatever zoning arrangement put in place by their parties.

Fayemi said he would abide by APC decision on the issue.

He promised to address human security, including food and environmental security, if given the ticket of his party and elected as president.

The governor said the insecurity in the North-East requires use of technology, assuring he would deploy satellite to the troubled region of Sambisa forest and the shores of the lake Chad if elected as President in 2023.

“It is an opportunity to build on what President Buhari has done and to also address the gaps because government is continuous,” he said.

Governor Fayemi also pledged that members of his party would be given equal opportunity to ensure dividends of democracy at all levels.
