The leader of Northern Young Professionals For Tinubu (NYPT), Abdullahi Tanko Yakasai, has explained why running a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket is the best option for the All Progressive Congress, APC.
Yakasai said that only a Northern Muslim running mate for the presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, could get the All Progressives Congress, APC, a landslide victory against in the 2023 election
Speaking on Arise TV on Tuesday, Yakasai noted that the Muslim-Muslim ticket will appeal to northerns, who are predominantly Muslims.
According to him: “Majority of the states in the North are predominantly Christians. I think we have only three that are predominantly Christians, Taraba, Benue and Plateau States. Out of the 19 Northern states, the majority are Muslims and why are we shying away from the fact that our party needs those votes.
“We need to gather those votes to get the presidency come 2023 that is the number one thing.
“Any time the party is picking somebody, it tries to present somebody who can gather the vote. I want you to understand this fact. Somebody who can give us those votes and we get a landslide victory,”
