APC yet to zone NASS leadership positions – Adamu

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, on Saturday, described as fake news reports that the party had adopted a zoning arrangement for the leadership of the 10th National Assembly.

Adamu stated this while addressing journalists after voting at his Keffi, Nasarawa State, country home during the governorship and House of Assembly elections.

He was reacting to reports that Senator Barau Jibrin was being favoured to emerge as the Senate President because the APC had allegedly zoned the position to the North-West.

The report claimed that the zoning decision was reached on Friday night by the leadership of the APC after consulting with the president-elect, Bola Tinubu.

But Adamu said, “The report about the zoning arrangements for the 10th National Assembly is fake news. We have not done any zoning.

“I have said it several times since Monday. I am still saying the same thing. No zoning has been established and agreed to.”
