2023: APC Speaks On Zoning Presidency To Northeast

The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Barr. Felix Morka has dismissed speculations indicating that the party is planning to zone its 2023 presidential ticket to the Northeast.

A report from Thisday had stated that the APC was working towards zoning its presidential ticket to the northeast, with the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan likely to emerge as its presidential candidate in the 2023 elections.

“Many in the South who have been strident in calls for the presidential ticket to be zoned to the South after eight years of Buhari in the saddle are not likely to be amused by this evolving development,” the report published on Wednesday, May 18, stated.
