Fagbemi stated this while speaking on a radio programme amid rising agitations for power shift to Kwara North Senatorial District.

He explained that no formal decision had been made on zoning, noting that such matters fall under the jurisdiction of the party’s national leadership.

“If there will be any zoning, the national executive of the party will give the directive. But as of now, nothing of such is on the offing. We have not even discussed it because we don’t have the schedule decided yet. Anyone who has interest to vie for any position has the right to do so,” he said.

Fagbemi added that even if the Kwara chapter of the party reaches a decision on zoning, it would still require ratification from the national secretariat.

“Even if we decide in Kwara that this is what we want, it is still subject to approval from the national secretariat,” the party chairman emphasised.

The clarification comes amid renewed calls from stakeholders in Kwara North for the APC to cede its 2027 governorship ticket to the zone, which has not produced a governor since the return of democracy in 1999.
