An APC chieftain says Christians are becoming more comfortable with the party’s Muslim-Muslim ticket ahead of the next presidential election. According to the claims reported by Nigerian outlets, the chieftain argues that concerns about the ticket have reduced under President Bola Tinubu’s administration. The position is presented as a response to earlier fears that a Muslim-Muslim ticket might not be acceptable to all sections of the country.
The Vanguard report states the APC leadership chooses to retain the same ticket because it already won confidence during the last election, implying that public acceptance has grown rather than weakened. The Punch report likewise frames the argument around perceived reassurance from Tinubu’s presidency, suggesting that Christians’ attitudes are shifting in tandem with the administration’s performance.
Both accounts attribute the viewpoint to an APC insider, and both focus on political perception and acceptance of the ticket rather than providing new voting statistics or independent verification. The reports are primarily statements from party figures about changing attitudes ahead of 2027.
