The All Progressives Congress (APC) has debunked reports that it has zoned its 2023 presidential ticket to South.
Reports said President Muhammadu Buhari and APC had zoned the slot to the South.
Reacting to the situation, Muhammad Nata’ala Keffi, spokesman to National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, debunked the report.
In a statement on Sunday, Keffi noted that such claims were false, mischievous and misleading.
He said the President during a meeting with the aspirants on Saturday, only advised them to build “a consensus that would help the party reduce the number of aspirants and bring up a formidable candidate”.
“From the quotations from Mr President’s speech, nowhere was zoning mentioned.
“We call on the public to disregard any information about the zoning of the presidential contest to any part country.
“What Mr President want is the interest of Nigeria and Nigerians; no more, no less.”
The statement added that APC was desirous of a credible and acceptable candidate who can move Nigeria forward with sincerity of purpose.
