Zoning: Reject Injustice, Anyim tells North Central Zone

Frontline 2023 Presidential aspirant, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, has urged the people of the North Central geo-political zone to resist social injustice in Nigeria reminding them that their zone and the Southeast zone face similar problems in the country.

Anyim who said these on Monday while addressing leaders and delegates of his Party, the PDP in Jos promised to make Jos an international city devoid of internal strife and crisis if he becomes Nigeria’s President next year.

Speaking on zoning of political offices, the People’s Democractic Party Presidential hopeful said zoning simply means equity, fairness, justice and inclusiveness and urged the Plateau state PDP delegates to support zoning.

By supporting zoning, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), went on, the North Central Zone would also win its battle to get its fair deal in Nigeria.

“If PDP wants to win this election, we must respect zoning. Zoning means fairness, Justice and equity.”

Anyim reminded the people that one of the reasons why PDP was voted out in 2015 was the accusation that the Party violated the zoning principle.

He told his audience that nobody is happy with the situation of Nigeria saying that 2023 is a defining moment for the country.

On the development of Jos city, Anyim said it requires making it a Centre of learning and Tourism backed up by large farm settlements.

This way, he posited, the city would accommodate everybody including foreign investors and at the same time reduce or eliminate crisis.

He then urged the delegates to support his aspiration for the General Development of Nigeria.

Responding, the PDP State Chairman, Hon. Chris  Hassan, said they were impressed by Anyim’s credentials and experience and assured him of their support.

Most of the delegates spoke in support of zoning insisting that it is part of PDP’s consultation.

Anyim’s entourage was received into Jos, the State Capital by enthusiastic crowd of supporters.
