Speculations that the mega opposition party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) might not give any of its major positions to Ndigbo proved prophetic when the party yesterday announced its zoning arrangement ahead of today’s National Convention scheduled to hold in Abuja, the Nigerian capital.
Zoned to the South-East are the positions of National Organising Secretary, National Auditor, Deputy Finance Secretary and Deputy Women Leader.
Details unfolded by the party’s National Convention Committee showed that the party’s chairmanship position has been zoned to the South-South, alongside the positions of Deputy National Secretary and the Deputy National Legal Adviser.
The North-Central will produce the National Publicity Secretary, National Women Leader, Deputy Treasurer and Deputy Welfare Secretary, while the National Secretary, National Youth Leader and Deputy National Auditor will come from the North-East. The Welfare Secretary, Deputy National Treasurer and the Deputy National Organizing secretary will come from the North West.
The South-West will produce the National Legal Adviser, Deputy National Chairman and the National Financial Secretary.
