10th NASS: No Decision On Zoning Principal Offices Yet, Says APC

The All Progressives Congress, APC, on Thursday, dismissed a trending report claiming that it has zoned leadership positions of the 10th National Assembly.

The Senators and House of Representatives members-elect are expected to choose the new Speaker and Senate President on June 13, when the 10th National Assembly will be inaugurated.

In a terse statement on Thursday, the National Publicity Secretary of the ruling party, Felix Morka, insisted that the party was yet to decide on the zoning formula of the presiding officers.

He, therefore, urged the public to disregard information circulating on social media, noting that it does not emanate from the party.

“The attention of the All Progressives Congress ,APC, has been drawn to versions of zoning arrangements for the 10th National Assembly leadership positions in circulation in sections of social media. The 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. Any decisions made in that regard will be duly communicated via the party’s official information channels,” he said.
