The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has said it is yet to take a decision on zoning, as well as the mode of primaries the Party will adopt ahead of the 2023 Presidential Election.
Its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, stated this on Wednesday while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, monitored by Mega Icon Magazine, hours after reports suggested that APC may have decided on the indirect mode of primaries.
“That was not decided today”, Morka said when asked to make the clarification on the issue of zoning, he said: “No. That also was not in conversation today. But in the coming days, I’m sure the party will make a decision, now that the NWC has the authority to decide on those questions”, the party’s publicist explained.
Reports of the ruling party adopting the Indirect mode of primaries surfaced earlier in the day following the its 11th National Executive Committee meeting which was held at the Transcorp Hotel in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
“There was no explicit discussion about the mode of primary but the timetable seems to suggest it is indirect primaries,” Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State had said after the meeting.
Meanwhile, several high-profile politicians in the country have indicated an interest in contesting for the presidential ticket of the party.
