Muslim-Muslim Ticket: Dogara, Babachir, Dabo meet Christian leaders of 19 Northern States

From David Kuvie Bauchi
The forum of Northern Christian of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC led by a former Speaker Yakubu Dogara and former Secretary to Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, have continued their consultations in dissatisfaction with the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the party ahead of the 2023 general election.
According to Dogara in a tweet Tuesday afternoon, the forum met with the northern Christian leaders in Abuja on Tuesday.
Only recently, they convened a summit of Northern Christian leaders in Abuja where they rejected the adoption of a Muslim-Muslim Presidential and Vice Presidential ticket by the ruling APC.
APC Presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu had in July nominated Senator Kashim Shettima, a Muslim from Borno state as his running mate.
Hon Dogara, in a tweet via his twitter handle @YakubDogara shared a group photographs of himself, Ex-SGF Babachir Lawal, Senator Elisha Ishaku Abbo (APC, Adamawa), and former Kogi state Deputy Governor Simon Achuba in company of all State Chairmen of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) from the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory.
The tweet reads: “#NigeriaDecides2023- The Fight for Justice Continues. Today, we held a Consultative Meeting with Christian Leaders From the 19 Northern States and the FCT on the Pan-Nigerian Platform to Adopt in 2023.”
