One of the contenders who has allegedly spent
a whooping $500,000, as ‘campaign cash’, today used his twitter account
to claim his zone, the Central has been favored by the party.
But the APC, today denied a media report that its
National Working Committee met on Monday night and decided to zone the Senate
Presidency to the North-Central and the Speaker of the House of Representatives
to the South-West, saying nothing like that ever happened.
Saraki twitted “I am delighted that the NWC of our dear
party yesterday reaffirmed its earlier decision to zone position of Senate
President to North Central,”
In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by its National
Secretary, Mala Buni, the party said it was deeply embarrassed by the story,
which was apparently planted in the media to sow the seeds of instability 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,” he said.
APC however said nothing has changed since the
President-elect Muhammadu Buhari 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.
