“Nigerian Christians Will Not Vote Muslim-Muslim Ticket In 2027” – Vatsa, APC Chieftain
A Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC, and former Niger State Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Hon Jonathan Vatsa, has warned that nobody can persuade the Christian family in the country to vote for the party’s Muslim-Muslim ticket again in 2027.
Vatsa’s warning is coming against the backdrop of the APC’s approval of the same 2023 Tinubu/Shettima Muslim-Muslim ticket ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Source reports that contrary to widespread insinuations, the APC National Chairman, Prof Nentawe Yilwaltda, in a statement shared on his official site Friday, disclosed that the party has settled for the same president Bola Tinubu/Vice President Kashim Shettima ticket that earned it electoral victory in 2023.
The decision of the party, however, came against the grains of speculations suggesting that it may have concluded plans to abandon the controversial ticket.
In a statement on Saturday in Minna, Vatsa pointedly described the repeat of the Muslim-Muslim ticket by the APC as a direct affront to the Christian Community in the country.
This is as he insisted that the same 2023 Muslim-Muslim ticket will not be tolerated in 2027.
Vatsa further described the APC ticket adventure as “a grievous mistake” going by the present realities on the ground.
“I think this is a grievous mistake by the APC to have allowed this;(Muslim-Muslim ticket).It is highly insensitive”, he stated.
According to him, whoever advised the APC leadership to subscribe to another Muslim-Muslim ticket in the face of global outrage over perceived persecution of Christians in Nigeria do not mean well for the party.
The APC chieftain emphasized that the situation in 2023 during which time people gloated over the development is completely different from what is presently on the ground.
