No zoning directive issued in Benue – APC

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Benue State has refuted claims that it has approved or directed the commencement of zoning arrangements ahead of its primaries and the 2027 general elections.

In a statement released yesterday by the state publicity secretary, Benedict Yawe, the party urged stakeholders to suspend any zoning-related moves currently taking place in some local government areas until an official position is communicated by the state secretariat.

The party also emphasized that political engagements across the 23 local government areas must involve proper consultation with recognised lead pointmen and local government party chairmen, in line with the party’s constitution.

“The State Working Committee of the APC in Benue State wishes to clarify that it has not issued any directive for the commencement of zoning activities in any part of the state.

“The party notes with concern reports of ongoing zoning exercises in some LGAs and states unequivocally that such activities are unauthorized,” the party said.
