The Niger State Governor and Acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abubakar Sani Bello, has said that the party would soon release the zoning list for the March 26 national convention.
Governor Bello added that the report on the zoning formula had been adopted by the leadership of the party.
Bello, who spoke with newsmen after a closed door meeting with members of the APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, said he would meet with the committee daily until the party’s national convention.
This, he said, was critical to put things together ahead of the March 26 convention.
He said: “Basically, today we looked at the convention sub-committee and we collected some of the reports from the committee, hoping that tomorrow we will decide on the next step to take.
“Nothing much happened today.”
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State submitted the zoning formula report to Bello on Monday.
Bello described the zoning system as a representation of fairness and equity in the party.
He said: “The report of the zoning formula has been submitted and adopted and it will be released any moment from now.
“I mean the zoning formula.
“Hopefully, by next week, the party’s National Executive Committee meeting will hold.”
