APC Speaks on ‘zoning 2023 Presidency to South’

The All Progressives Congress, APC has denied reports that it has zoned its 2023 Presidential Ticket slot to Southern Nigeria.

This was announced via a statement signed by the DG, Press and Media Affairs to Gov. Mai Mala Buni, Mamman Mohammed, on Wednesday. Buni is the chairman of the extraordinary convention planning committee and Governor of Yobe State.

The statement made available to newsmen read;

“The attention of His Excellency the Executive Governor of Yobe State and Chairman APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Hon. Mai Mala Buni, has been drawn to media publications with purported zoning of offices allegedly announced by him.”

“His Excellency has in clear and unambiguous terms denied the said list, saying, it is false, baseless, unfounded, misleading and has nothing to do with him. The Chairman of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Committee, said the party has not taken any decision at any fora on anything relating to zoning of offices.”

“The publication is just a figment of the author’s imagination that has nothing to do with the Chairman and the party. The public is hereby urged to disregard the purported list as it is misleading and completely false.”

“Governor Buni urged the press to resist unverified stories and rumours, and to always verify all issues related to the party assuring that the doors of the party are always open.”
