Competence Over Zoning??

Are Southeast and Southwest about to be played again?
Mamman Daura's statement on a recent tweet says that presidency should be by competence and not zonal.

It was earlier known that the presidency has been promised to both zones. However, the Afenifere group rejected Daura’s position saying the country must continue with the common understanding of power rotation between the North and the South.

Joe Odumakin who is the spokesman of the group said in an interview that the south was not unmindful of the fact that the north would want to have a shot again at the presidency after Buhari.

Also the chairman of the Niger Delta Darlington Nwauju said that the call for the cancellation of rotational presidency was myopic and of no relevance. Major opinions on this matter suggests that the rotational presidency be maintained, but the challenge is which of the groups is next?
