2023: Arewa People React To APC’s Muslim-Muslim Ticket, Plan ‘1 Million-man March’ For Shettima

The protest against the divisive Muslim-Muslim ticket held in Lagos by some APC supporters and stakeholders has been denounced by the Arewa People’s Coalition.

In a statement issued by the Arewa People’s Coalition and signed by its chairman, Malam Usman Abdullahi Fagge, the coalition declared that the “demonstrators, who paraded themselves under the banner of a Coalition of APC Stakeholders Network and Southwest Supporters of Tinubu to ask the running mate and former Borno Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, to step down and be replaced with a Christian to have balanced ticket is outright rejected.”

However, the suggested that rather than protesting and demanding the unattainable right away, “the protestors should sheath their swords and meet party leaders to discuss the means to address their grievances in the interest of the party’s progress.”

They believed that the protest was the work of troublemakers and opponents of advancement who were trying to undermine the chances of the ruling party winning the next 2023 presidential election.

The group noted that “seeking the replacement of a validly nominated running mate, whose name has been duly submitted to INEC is not only ridiculous, but also disturbing considering that they are acclaimed members and stakeholders of the party” while outlining the need to jettison ethnic and religious sentiments in choice of leaders across all tiers of governance.
