The All Progressives Congress (APC) said it has not alloted the leadership positions of the incoming 10th National Assembly (NASS) to geo-political zones as speculated in some quarters.
Mr Felix Morka, the partyβs National Publicity Secretary, said this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, advising that such reports should be disregarded.
βThe attention of the APC has been drawn to versions of zoning arrangements for the 10th National Assembly leadership positions in circulation in sections of social media.
βThe information did not emanate from the party and should be disregarded. To be clear, the party has yet to zone positions of leadership of the 10th National Assembly,β he said.
The APC scribe however assured any decision made in that regard by the party would be duly communicated to the public via its official information channels.
On Thursday, the social media buzzed with a list said to have been issued by the APC on the zoning of National Assembly positions.
According to the list published, the South South region would fill the position of Senate Presidency, while the North Central would take the speakership of the House of Representatives.
Here is the fake list circulated:
