The choice of Kashim Shettima as Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s running mate in the 2023 presidential elections has not gone down well with Nigerian Christians.
The National Chairman of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) party, Abdullahi Adamu, has stated that his party’s choice to go for a Muslim-Muslim ticket is best for Nigeria.
Adamu told BBC Hausa that the idea of same faith candidates is a strategy APC believes will work in its favour during the elections.
“You see, with the situation we are in the country, you can’t convince everybody. It’s democracy, everyone has his right but for us, same faith ticket is the best thing for Nigeria presently…But we will not relent, we will work to ensure we convince Nigerians to fully support this Tinubu/Shettima ticket, every party has its strategy and this is our strategy that we think can best work for us.”

The APC chieftain also acknowledged the fact that the country is facing the challenge of insecurity, but blamed the media for failing to highlight the efforts of the government.
“Yes, there’s insecurity in the country and every country faces its own kind of insecurity. The media don’t publicise government efforts adequately,” Adamu opined.
