A grandson of late President Shehu Shagari, Bello Shagari, has called for the scrapping of quota system in Nigeria.
Bello Shagari who is a chairmanship aspirant in the forthcoming Abuja Municipal Area Council on the platform of the All Progresives Congress (APC), said rather than unite the country, the system was disintegrating the citizens.
“What is the essence of using quota system to choose who will do the job when we can find people who can do the job regardless of wherever they come from, tribe, ethnicity or language they speak?,” he asked.
The former President, National Youth Council of Nigeria, also urged older politicians to give power to the youths, adding that youths are now better prepared and equipped to handle leadership positions.
