The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Convention Central Coordination Committee has zoned the party’s national offices to all the six geopolitical zones based on federal character principles.
The former Katsina State governor, Aminu Bello Masari, disclosed this at a news conference on Thursday in Abuja.
Masari , who is the chairman of the committee, said strict adherence to the party’s zoning formula would prevent disgruntled elements from creating confusion in the party.
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives declared that the party was ready to organise a befitting convention.
The APC will hold its national convention on March 27 and March 28 in Abuja.
According to Masari, the party operates on a structure of federal character, where all offices were assigned to specific geopolitical zones.

He dismissed the allegations that some aspirants vying for elective offices in the party were denied forms.
“APC is a responsible party, and it is a Nigerian party. In line with the federal character, all offices are zoned.
“When an office is zoned to ‘A’ and you are in ‘Z’ and want to buy that form, we suspect you only want to create confusion.
“Like the way our country is, the structures of the party are on a zonal basis, the working committee members are also distributed according to the zones.
“So, if you are contesting for office not zoned to your zone, how can you say you are being democratic?
“We suspect this kind of people as agents who want to come and destabilise our party, which we will not agree. I don’t think any responsible party in Nigeria will agree,” Masari stated.
