The All Progressives Congress, APC, Tuesday, denied a report saying its National Working Committee, NWC, had at a meeting on Monday night zoned the Senate Presidency to the North-Central and the Speaker of the House of Representatives to the South-West.
The party said nothing like that happened.
The denial was made in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by its National Secretary, Hon. Mai Mala Buni, adding that the party was deeply embarrassed by the story.
According to him, it was obvious that the story was planted in the media to cause disaffection in the party.
”The NWC never discussed the issue of zoning at its meeting. Therefore, the report of its decision on zoning is a figment of the imagination of whoever concocted the story,” it said.
Buni said nothing has changed since the President-elect said he is ready to work with anyone from any part of the country who occupies any of the principal offices of the incoming National Assembly, including those of the Senate Presidency and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
