Governor Ayade came out with this when Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu paid him a visit at the Government House in Calabar, the Cross Rivers State capital.

He explained that the idea of zoning came about to ensure an egalitarian and equitable power sharing in the country stressing that zoning is a provision of the constitution to ensure balancing as it should not be about ethnic or regional domination.

He added that with the great potentials in Nigeria in terms of oil and gas deposits it was regrettable that the country is still importing petroleum products to meet its local demands.

Governor Ayade who described Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a trans-generational leader and political strategist said he has the capacity, exposure and experience to lead Nigeria.

He noted that history would be kind to the All Progressive Congress, APC National leader as a man who propelled the party into power in 2015 stressing that the APC leader was a cornerstone to the success of the party over the years.
