The All Progressives Congress has urged Nigerians to disregard what it
described as “the wild speculations” making the rounds concerning the
appointment of ministers and the zoning of offices under the incoming
Muhammadu Buhari administration.
In a statement in Abuja on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said there was no truth to anything that
had been dished out by the “hyperactive rumour mill” concerning the issue
of appointment, especially the zoning of the National Assembly’s principal
positions and other offices.
It said “in the true tradition” of the APC, all issues of public interest
would be handled transparently and conveyed to Nigerians through the usual
communication channels.
”No appointments have been made and no offices have been zoned. The main
concern of our party at the moment is to ensure a smooth transition and to
hit the ground running, in the overall interest of the long-suffering
people of Nigeria.
”At the appropriate time, Nigerians will be informed of the appointments
made and the offices zoned,” APC said.
