APC Warns Against Speculation on Shettima's Future Amid Muslim-Muslim Ticket Debates
The All Progressives Congress (APC) issued a caution against speculating on the fate of Shettima amidst internal debates on maintaining a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 and 2027 elections. The party's statement, signed by Felix Morka, refuted claims of Shettima being dropped as baseless.
APC emphasized its focus on supporting President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima's administration's agenda. There are concerns within the party about potentially altering the ticket for the 2027 elections, with figures like Hannatu Musawa warning against jeopardizing Shettima and Tinubu's re-election prospects.
Prof. Haruna Yerima advised against tampering with the current ticket, while Yakubu Dogara suggested the possibility of a Northern Christian running mate in 2027. The final decision on the ticket rests with President Tinubu, emphasizing the need for inclusivity and unity in Nigerian politics.
