2023: Has APC truly zoned presidency to south? Governor Buni gives important update
Meanwhile, Governor Mai Mala Buni, the caretaker chairman of the APC, had refuted the reports claiming the party had zoned the presidency to the southern part of the country ahead of the 2023 elections.
The Yobe state governor said on Wednesday, August 18, that there was no iota of truth in the speculation making the rounds in a section of the media.
The report had alleged that the Buni-led caretaker committee had zoned the president to the south, Vice President to the north, Senate president (south) and deputy Senate president (north). Others include House of Representatives speaker (north) and deputy speaker (south).
Governor Buni, however, described the alleged zoning as " absolutely false".
He said:
“This is absolutely false! Where was it done and at what occasion? This is a mere fabrication of the writer’s imagination. It is completely misleading.”
In another report, Iroegbu Njoku, a former governorship aspirant in Imo state, had advised Nigerians to elect a president with entrepreneurial skills in the 2023 presidential election.
