  Political Zoning has proven to be the catalyst for equity and the most critical stabilizing factor in Nigerian politics due to the peculiarities and dynamics of our heterogeneous political culture. It has become almost impossible to divorce equity and fairness from zoning as they complement each other in the actualization of a peaceful and progressive society.
