2023: APC denies endorsing any zoning arrangement

By Omeiza Ajayi, ABUJA

The ruling All Progressives Congress APC has denounced a list in circulation purporting to be the resolution of the party on the zoning arrangement ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

A list had gone viral on social media on Wednesday with the title “APC announces zoning arrangement ahead of 2023 election year”.

In that list, the party was said to have zoned the nation’s presidency and senate presidency to the South while its National Chairmanship was zoned to the North.

In dismissing the claims, Akpanudoedehe said; “People who are interested in running for one office or the other can speculate. As far as I am concerned, at the last Caretaker Committee meeting we had, we did not discuss that. That is not what we are concerned with now. What we are concerned with is data collection. How to collect data without making mistakes.

“We are not going to be pressurized by sentiments and then we do the wrong thing

“Let me say that zoning is not for the Caretaker Committee alone. It has to do with the President, it has to do with other major stakeholders, it has to do with a lot of people.

“I want to mute the speculation. The list is not from us ( Caretaker Committee). There is no way such a decision will be taken without consulting with the President, consulting with the governors and other major stakeholders. People should disregard the list. We are focused on delivering our mandate and we are to do it rightly”.
