Hundreds of demonstrators on Wednesday morning stormed the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress to register their grievance over the position of the party on the contentious Muslim-Muslim ticket.

The protest took place almost at the same time the leadership of the APC was unveiling former Governor of Borno State, Senator Kashim Shettima, as the running mate of its Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, at Shehu Musa Yar’Adua in Abuja.

Speaking to our correspondent, Convener of Forum, Abdullahi Bilal Mohamadu declared that they will not stop protesting until the party do the right. The letter read, “We write to your good office in light of the prevailing circumstances arising from the decision of our Presidential candidate to select a Northern Muslim as his vice presidential candidate.

“In our opinion, this is insensitive and a gross display of a lack of respect for our Christian brothers and sisters especially the Middle Belt minority who have given all their best to us as one northern Nigeria. Picking another Muslim from the north eastern part of the country as his running mate is politically and morally indefensible.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Dino say it all...

Will the country stand if there's a Christian - Christian ticket?

L muhamed will come and say it was not true

They said one Nigeria, one unity but they promote Muslim/Muslim or a Fulani man to take over from a Fulani Muslim after appointing and placing them in key positions. This is a selfish, evil, and ill motive. Because there are competent people in every part of Nigeria

No need to protest... Leave the party for those that think they are the owners of the party

Who dey advise BAT? They've talked him to ignoring the voices of the masses...now they're defecting to support their own...😄

This is laughable. APC is not the only party on display on the ballot paper. There are more than 20 political parties on the ballot. Democracy is all about choice. Therefore than wasting time and resources why not vote other political parties.
