The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed that it won't permit anybody blackmail or compromise...
the party over where it should zone its 2023 presidential to.
The decision party which responded to articulations by some southern pioneers; Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Mbazulike Amaechi and Idongesit Ikanga, adviced Southern pioneers to shelter campaigning as there is no compelling reason to overheat the country with the ticket for 2023.
APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Nabena Yekini said in the assertion;
“They don’t have any right to tell people what to do. It is not by force, threat or intimidation but by negotiation. If they feel strongly about the ticket, they should form their own political party and give their ticket to whichever zone they want to produce the president in 2023.
“It is called politics because you cannot impose anybody on any person. It is a game of numbers. The Southeast must lobby and tell other regions what they have for them. By the way, it is even too early to talk about zoning in 2023. Instead of heating up the polity, they should resort to alliance, lobbying and consultations."
