The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, says most Christians consulted by the party have expressed satisfaction with the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Yilwatda said Christians’ initial concerns that the arrangement could marginalise them had not materialised, insisting that their voices remained represented in the administration.
The APC chairman stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday. “Most Christians that we’ve engaged and we’ve spoken to them, they are very okay with the Muslim-Muslim ticket,” he said. “The thought and the fear of most Christians was that the Muslim-Muslim ticket may suppress their voices, but their voices are heard loud and clear now.” He also dismissed concerns that Tinubu’s religion had exposed Christians to discrimination or persecution during his three years in office. On questions surrounding the President’s health and fitness to contest the 2027 election, Yilwatda maintained that Tinubu was physically capable of seeking re-election.
