2027: You will lose 80% of Northern Muslim votes if you change Shettima – APC Forum warns Tinubu

The APC Forum has warned President Bola Tinubu that he could lose 80% of the northern Muslim vote in 2027 if he changes his running mate, Vice President Kashim Shettima. The Forum issued this warning in a statement released by Chairman Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga in Abuja.

Various groups and stakeholders have been pressuring Tinubu to drop Shettima as his running mate for the upcoming election, arguing that the ticket gave him victory in 2023. However, the Forum argued that changing the ticket could result in losing support from the northern Muslim community.

They advised Tinubu to maintain the status quo and keep Shettima as his running mate to secure victory in the upcoming election. The Forum also warned that replacing Shettima with a Christian candidate could alienate the northern Muslim community and backfire in the election.

They urged Tinubu to consider the potential consequences of changing his running mate and to prioritize maintaining support from the northern Muslim.
