A Peoples Democratic Party group, under the platform of Umbrella Force, has expressed concerns that the decision by the ruling All Progressives Congres,
APC, to have a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the presidential election would tamper with the peace and unity of the country.
The development has continued to cause controversy across the country as concerned Nigerians including some members of the ruling party continue to protest against the decision. Spokesperson of the group, Tekena Alamina who briefed newsmen at the press conference, argued that there are competent Christian Northerners who should have replaced Shettima.
“This selection has the stench of inconsideration, irresponsibility, division and disunity. It has total disregard for the feelings of all Nigerians. It was done in bad faith. Are there no other competent Christians in the APC? Nigerians need to ask: ‘What is so special about Kashim Shettima? What does he bring to the table that other competent Nigerians from other religions cannot bring?’
