Again, without prejudice to the tolerant, genial and accommodating leadership quality of Alhaji Shehu Shagari, he was no match for the acknowledged leadership competence and experience of Awolowo and Azikiwe, yet he was elected President. Shagari did not even aspire to become President, all he wanted was to be elected a Senator but was railroaded to seeking the presidency for reasons that had nothing to do with optimal leadership quality.
And whatever shortcomings that resulted from the outcome of the election, it cannot be attributed to zoning. The same inference can be made of the presidential election which essentially pitted Jonathan against Buhari.
In the presidential election cycle and beyond the two dominant presidential candidates, Muhammadu Buhari and Atiku Abubakar, there was a legion of lesser known but superior candidates from both the North and South yet the Nigerian electorate of its own volition restricted its choice to Buhari and Abubakar.
From this literature review of presidential elections since the independence of Nigeria there is no basis for the thesis of Sanusi that zoning, by itself, equals two useless candidates or the choice between the rock and the hard place. At the universal and theoretical level, democracy does not offer the promise of good candidates. What it offers is participation and inclusion and that is why it is called representative democracy.
Were democracy to be a guarantee for good governance and leadership, Donald Trump would never have emerged the President of the United States with a distinct possibility of being elected again in In recognition of its dysfunctional propensities, democracy is figuratively cited as the worst form of government to which no better alternative has been found.
Scientifically, democracy assumes the worst case scenario in order to be rendered foolproof against the possibility of terrible end products.
Therefore you do not proceed from the premise that good people like Barack Obama would be elected president. You proceed from the contrary assumption that bad people like Trump may be elected hence the need to anticipate and rein in such leaders with structural and institutional constraints like separation of powers and the principle of checks and balances. In the normal run of events the likelihood is that you are going to end up with both good and bad presidents.
If you have a good one, all well and good, but if you make a bad call, you would have preempted and limit the capacity of a rogue and incompetent leader to damage society. This is why the constitution and the rules of the road are prerequisites that are prior to political leadership. Which then begs the question of whether it is within our capacity to routinely ensure the emergence of good leadership.
If we cannot, then rationality demands that we insure ourselves against bad leadership when it does emerge with containment strategies. Anoda professor of history, Rasheed Olaniyi, too tok say di society wey Nigeria be now go allow Sanusi fight for imsef for court.
