The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the story, alleging that it has assigned the Senate Presidency to the North West geopolitical zone.
The study favored Senator Barau Jibrin, a third-term senator who previously served in the House of Representatives.
The report, according to the party’s National Leader, Abdullahi Adamu, is fake news.
Adamu, who spoke to reporters at his home in Keffi, Nasarawa State, said no such event had happened.

He said, “The report about the zoning arrangements for the 10th National Assembly is fake news. We have not done any zoning.
“I have said it times without a number since Monday. I am still saying the same thing. No zoning has been established yet and agreed to. No zoning has been made public. Anybody who is saying anything is a rumour. It’s a wishful rumour.”
In a statement headed ‘APC Yet To Zone Important 10th National Assembly Seats,’ the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, dismissed the report of the zoning arrangements as incorrect and deceptive.
Morka said, “The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to a report circulating on social media on purported zoning of key positions of the incoming 10th National Assembly. The report is false and misleading and should be disregarded in its entirety.

“The party has not made any decision on the zoning of positions or offices of the 10th Assembly. As soon as a decision is made on zoning, it will be made public through the party’s official communications channel.”
According to the ‘false’ story, the APC leadership made the zoning decision late Friday night after speaking with President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He added, “The decision takes pre-eminence over earlier suggestions in some quarters to zone the position to the South.”
