The jostle for who takes the Senate presidency seat amongst All Progressives Congress ( APC ) senators, is set to wreck havoc on the new coalition.
One of the contenders who has allegedly spent a whooping $500,000, as ‘campaign cash’, today used his twitter account to claim his zone, the Central has been favored by the party.
But the APC, today denied a media report that its National Working Committee met on Monday night and decided to zone the Senate Presidency to the North-Central and the Speaker of the House of Representatives to the South-West, saying nothing like that ever happened.
Saraki twitted “I am delighted that the NWC of our dear party yesterday reaffirmed its earlier decision to zone position of Senate President to North Central,”
In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by its National Secretary, Mala Buni, the party said it was deeply embarrassed by the story, which was apparently planted in the media to sow the seeds of instability in the party.
”The NWC never discussed the issue of zoning at its meeting. Therefore, the report of its decision on zoning is a figment of the imagination of whoever concocted the story,” he said.
APC however said nothing has changed since the President-elect Muhammadu Buhari said he is ready to work with anyone from any part of the country who occupies any of the principal offices of the incoming National Assembly, including those of the Senate Presidency and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
