Lamido, speaking on BBC Hausa on Saturday, stated that the zoning of political offices has been counter-productive.
According to him, the idea of zoning should be discarded for the welfare and unity of Nigerians to take the centre stage.
“When it comes to zoning, I would say I don’t agree. The world should look at it as it is, everywhere it goes; everywhere we talk about human development, “Lamido said.
Lamido asked Nigerians to consider virtue rather than ethnicity or religious sentiment as they go to the polls to elect a new President in 2023.
Lamido had earlier said Nigeria needs a leader with sterling qualities as that of Aminu Tambuwal as the next president.
Ahead of the 2023 general elections, a number of eminent Nigerian politicians have declared their intentions to run for president.
Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC; Senate Chief Whip, Orji Kalu; Aminu Tambuwal, Governor of Ebonyi state, Dave Umahi and former Imo Governor Rochas Okorocha, have all shown interests in the presidency.
