The APC in release by its National Publicity Secretary, Barr. Felix Morka stated categorically that the party is yet to arrive at any zoning arrangement of leadership positions of the 10th National Assembly.

The release reads: “the attention of the All Progressives Congres (APC) has been drawn to versions of zoning arrangements for the 10th National Assembly leadership positions in circulation in sections of the social media.
