Karimi stated this on Monday while speaking with journalists. He said it has become imperative for the North Central to produce president in 2023 adding that among the six geopolitical zones of the country, the geopolitical zone has not ruled the country.
Karimi pointed out that the South West, South-South and North West have all ruled the country but only the North Central, North East and South-East geopolitical zones that are yet to have a shot at the presidency.
His words: “The North Central have sacrificed and contributed immensely for the unity, peace and stability in the democratic governance of the country.

”The zone is blessed with qualified individuals and personalities from every sphere of human endeavour with needed capacity and experience to lead the country to greatness.
“In the spirit of equity and justice, it will only be fair for political parties to give priority to the North Central presidency in their zoning arrangement towards 2023.
“The North Central Zone have supported the PDP in the past and currently it has overwhelmingly delivered for the APC with the zone producing five (5) governors out of six”.
“To take the lead based on the above and many other justifiable reasons in initiating negotiations with critical stakeholders in the All Progressive Congress (APC) to give North Central a consideration in its zoning arrangement; because to whom much is giving, much is expected.”
