Donald Duke against zoning of presidency, says it’s unconstitutional

Former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, has expressed disapproval of the zoning of the Presidency.
He raised strong objection to this while speaking on Hard Copy hosted by Maope Ogun on Channels TV on Tuesday.
According to him, “I have never subjected myself to zoning, when I ran for Governor I was not afforded zoning, everybody and everyone was able to run in Cross River.”
He insisted: “Besides its my constitutional right to run, you can’t zone my right, I think it’s unconstitutional to zone.
The former governor added that he was born a Nigerian irrespective of the region he comes from. “Besides, like I said to you, I was born a Nigerian, I wasn’t born an Easterner or Westerner, I was born after Independence. So my outlook is Nigerian.”
He concluded that Nigeria is in a critical state and should discard zoning and go for the best
