The All Progressives Congress, APC, has denied zoning its presidential ticket to the Southern part of the country, ahead of the 2023 elections.

This is as the party said its doors were still open to candidates for the 2023 general elections, including the presidency.

It denied releasing any zoning formula for candidates on its platform ahead of the scheduled polls.

Secretary of the APC Caretaker Committee, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe issued the denial in response to reports that the party has zoned its presidential ticket to the south.

APC was reported to have zoned the President to the South, Vice President to the North, Senate President to the South and Deputy Senate President to the North.

However, Akpanudoedehe disowned the list.

In a statement, the APC Secretary said: “Our people should disregard the list. It is not from the Caretaker Committee, it is not from the party.

“This is absolutely false! Where was it done and at what occasion? This is a mere fabrication of the writer’s imagination. It is completely misleading.”
