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.

Looted COVID Palliatives Were Meant For Special Vulnerable Group – Kwara Govt

The state government in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Communications, Harriet Afolabi-Oshatimehin, on Friday, said the items were meant for the poor and a special group of vulnerable people. The Commissioner said further that CACOVID and the state government on September 23rd flagged off the distribution of the palliatives and had distributed the majority of the palliatives to the identified vulnerable households in 15 of the 16 local government areas of the state. “The remaining palliatives in the terminal, which the hoodlums preyed on until chased away by security agencies, were meant for special vulnerable groups and just one local government where names of the beneficiaries have just been delivered and officials have started distributing when the street urchins breached the wall of the facility,” the statement added.
