On Friday, more than 200 youths and supporters from the North-Central zone joined the protests against the Muslim-Muslim APC presidential ticket, calling for the decision to be reversed.<\/p>\n
They demanded that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC\u2019s presidential candidate, remove Kashim Shettima, a former governor of Borno State, from consideration as his running mate.<\/p>\n
The demonstration was started by the demonstrators at the Unity Fountain and ended at the Presidential Villa under the direction of the North Central Progressive Youths.<\/p>\n
The youth from the six North-Central states and the Federal Capital Territory held banners that read, among other things, \u201cTinubu and Shettima must do the necessary, it is our constitutional right,\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t destroy the unity of Nigeria,\u201d \u201cShettima must go now, all Christians say no to Islamization of APC presidential ticket,\u201d and \u201cAPC presidential ticket must be for all faith.\u201d<\/p>\n

True to your word, the nation\u2019s electoral system has been revolutionised.<\/p>\n \u201cYour footprints will never be forgotten in the area of infrastructure. The fact that there\u2019s still a country called Nigeria is due to your resilience despite the mirage of security challenges. We are also coping with the global economic crisis. Meanwhile, the trial of the suspended Accountant-General of the Federation and many others has proven your zero tolerance for corruption. There are no sacred cows.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shettima and Tinubu On Friday, more than 200 youths and supporters from the North-Central zone joined the protests against the Muslim-Muslim APC presidential ticket, calling for the decision to be reversed.
