The selection process created unnecessary tension in the polity. To stem the tide of political volatility, there has been intensification in calls for zoning principal offices between the north and the south, and between the various senatorial zones at the state level. In revisiting the politics surrounding zoning, and the questions about its constitutionality, the paper examines its historical antecedent, as well as Article 72(C), 2009 of People's Democratic Party's Constitution. Adopting Elites theoretical framework, and for methodology, qualitative descriptive data and content analysis was utilized. The paper found that intra-elite rivalries and the 'do or die' politics during the process of selection and election of candidates, has marred the development of de...

Bruce concluded the episode with the recommendation that other State governments should emulate Anambra by striving for self-sufficiency towards departing from what has been referred to as babiyala syndrome of Nigeria federalism. By uncanny coincidence on April 11, 2017, as the sun let its light shine in a peculiar display of its kaleidoscopic effulgence from the centre of our solar system, Governor Obiano prayed that God should bless the shining light that Anambra people bear as he addressed the State on the proposed Umueri Airport City Project. The paper subjected the words, inferences and essence of the address to critical analysis from various perspectives of leadership, good governance and development studies; it discussed leadership and its capacity to motivate people towards striving for excellence and, ultimately, the achievement of collective goals.
