Fear not, Muslim-Muslim ticket is the will of God, APC chair tells Nigerians

All Progressives Congress National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu has urged Nigerians, especially Christians, not to be afraid of the party’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket because it is the work and will of God.

The comment by Adamu is coming amid the kicks against APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, who is a Muslim and his choice of former Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima, also a Muslim, as his running mate for the 2023 elections.

The APC chairman, who stated this on Wednesday when he led the party’s National Working Committee on a courtesy call to President Muhammadu Buhari at his residence in Daura Katsina State, said Nigerians have nothing to worry about the Tinubu/Shettima ticket.

Expressing confident that APC will win this Saturday’s governorship in Osun State, Adamu said the expected victory would serve as a pointer to the victory of 2023.

Adamu, a former Nasarawa State governor explained that they visited Buhari to brief him on what transpired in Osun State on Tuesday during the APC governorship mega rally campaign.

On Tinubu/Shettima ticket, Adamu said that the ruling party went through a rigorous practical assignment on the selection process before arriving at the Muslim-Muslim ticket.

He described Kashim Shettima as a Nigerian citizen who does not need to be either Muslim or Christian before being selected as running mate to a presidential candidate.

He appreciated Christians in the country for showing interest in the Muslim-Muslim ticket, but advised that Nigerians should face the realities of the country’s policies.

He said the APC is doing everything legally right and praying to win the 2023 elections.
