The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it has yet to zone the incoming 10th National Assembly leadership positions as speculated in some quarters.

Felix Morka, the party’s national publicity secretary, said this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, advising that such reports should be disregarded.

“The 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,” the APC statement said.

It added, “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.”

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.
