BREAKING: APC Zones 2023 Presidency To South East, VP To North East

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has reportedly announced the region to zone it’s presidency ticket.

The party according to Sunday Tribune zoned the presidential slot to the South-West as recent events indicate that they have agreed on a zoning arrangement for the big six positions in party and government at national level.

The South-West is favoured to produce the next presidential standard-bearer of the party. The North-East is said to have been listed for the running mate ticket. The Senate Presidency is billed to return to the South-East, while the North-West is scheduled for the Speakership slot.

The arrangement is similar to what the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the ruling party in 1999 presented as a governance outlook with Olusegun Obasanjo from the South-West as president. His deputy then, Atiku Abubakar, is from Adamawa in North-East.

Now-late Evan Enwerem, the first Senate President, was from the South East. The disgraced first Speaker, Salisu Buhari, is from Kano, North-West.

Though Enwerem and Buhari were booted out of office for forgery, the slots remained in the two zones for the eight years Obasanjo and SouthWest kept the presidency. The governing party also seems to have kept faith with the PDP’s old blueprint in zoning its national chairmanship.
