In this piece, Cyprian Edward-Ekpo examines the structural flaws of political zoning in
Nigeria, responding directly to arguments made by Chief Okoi Obono-Obla. He argues that
the institutionalization of geographic and ethnic quotas dilutes true democracy into a
"pseudo-democracy," undermining executive competence. Ultimately, the piece calls for
a shift toward an unhindered majoritarian meritocracy to ensure sustainable, good
governance.
