Prime Business Africa had, in the February 15 report – ‘APC Works For Unity List Ahead of February 26 National Convention’ – stated clearly that the President would upon his return from the EU-AU Summit in Brussels this weekend meet with the governors on Tuesday  to confirm the Unity List  that would ensure the National Chairmen emerges from the North Central and the National Secretary from the Southeast.

This newspaper also  correctly reported   that Southwest, in the agreed arrangement would produce the National Publicity Secretary and the South South, the Deputy National Chairman.

Northeast as at the time of the exclusive report was  being considered for the position of the National Organizing Secretary.

Except for Prime Business Africa’s correct report regarding the planned Tuesday meeting, major national/traditional newspapers  and  online platforms had speculated a different date until today when some reports turned around to confirm  the exclusive report.

Recall that Prime Business Africa  was the only newspaper that first correctly reported the National Convention date as well as APC’s zoning arrangements  for Presidency and national party offices.

Three months ago, it also   reported that  President Buhari would not sign the Electoral Amendment Bill as first submitted  by the National Assembly due to costs associated with the direct primary provision, among others.

The report  was controverted by some sections of the media, which turned around to confirm it less than two weeks after.
