Presidential Ticket Open To All Zones

Contrary to expectations that the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) may zero in on a particular geopolitical zone for its presidential candidate to contest the 2015 general election, the party has actually thrown the race open with a view to fielding the best from any part of the country.

Irrespective, the North-west and North-east geopolitical zones are already locked in a battle over which of the two zones would clinch the APC presidential ticket.

A reliable party source, who spoko on the condition of anonymity, said the party is not likely to zone the presidential ticket to any part of the country in the light of the challenges that come with limiting the chances of other eminently qualified persons in the race.
