The rulling All Progressive Congress (APC) has zoned its 2023 Presidential ticket to the Southern geopolitical zone. The party arrived at the decision after a meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and 19 Governors elected under the platform of the APC at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Tuesday.


Speaking to newsmen after the meeting, Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai said the party stakeholders decided that all offices occupied by northerners in the last eight years will go to the south and vice versa.

This according to him, “is a very simple, equitable and fair formula.”

Consequently, the office of chairman of the party which has been occupied by Southerners since its inception, will now go to the North and the presidential slot to the South.

Political stakeholders in the South will then decide between the Southwest and Southeast which region has a better claim to the presidency.

Note that the Southwest has had a shot at the number one seat in the country in the Presidency of Olusegun Obasanjo while the Southeast is yet to do so since the return of Democratic rule in 1999.
