APC yet to decide on zoning –  CECPC

The Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has refuted reports that it has released zoning arrangement for the National Convention slated for February 26, 2022.

The committee released the timetable and schedule of activities for the convention of the party after its 19th regular meeting, spanning two days.

The Secretary of the Caretaker Committee, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe,  who addressed journalists after Wednesday’s meeting at the party’s National Secretariat, said the committee never discussed the zoning arrangement for the National Convention.

“I am here to debunk the fake news going around on the social media that we have zoned offices. We are yet to meet on the issue of zoning,” Akpanudoedehe said.
