Must as it has done in nearly all the electoral contest in the state since the return to democracy in 1999, the debate over which of the senatorial districts, as well as zones in Osun State, should produce the next Governor of the state, is the most topical issue as the date for the 2018 governorship election draws nearer.
Across party lines, politicians, indigenes, residents and other stakeholders in the state are daily slugging it out on various platforms and at various fora in unending arguments over which part of the state Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s successor should come from. This time however, the debate goes beyond the usual senatorial zoning arrangement as a new dimension is introduced into the zoning war.
