Direct insult to Christians’ — Vatsa knocks Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket for 2027 A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Niger State, Jonathan Vatsa, has criticised the reported decision to retain Vice President Kashim Shettima as President Bola Tinubu’s running mate for the 2027 presidential election, warning that Christians will not support another Muslim-Muslim ticket. Vatsa described the move as “a direct insult” to the Christian community, saying it was politically insensitive and could cost the ruling party Christian votes. In a statement issued in Minna on Saturday, the former Niger State Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism said the circumstances that justified the same-faith ticket in 2023 no longer existed. “I think this is a grievous mistake by the APC. It is highly insensitive,” he said. According to him, those behind the decision “did not mean well” for the President or the party. “With the current situation in the country and the concerns over the safety of Christians, nobody expected the President to repeat this arrangement,” Vatsa said. He argued that the APC would struggle to convince Christians to support its ticket in 2027, especially if other political parties field Christian candidates. “What do you expect us to tell the Christian community, to vote for another Muslim-Muslim ticket?” he insisted. Vatsa, who recently urged Niger State Governor Umaru Mohammed Bago to pick a Christian running mate for the 2027 governorship election, said Christians already feel insecure and would be more comfortable with a Christian vice-presidential candidate. He warned that repeating the Muslim-Muslim ticket could have “grievous consequences” for the APC’s electoral chances. The APC stalwart, however, clarified that his position was not against Vice President Shettima or the Muslim community. “I have nothing against the Vice President or the Muslim community. I am speaking for equity, justice and fairness in the political arrangement of the country,” he added.. https://dailypost.ng/2026/07/11/direct-insult-to-christians-vatsa-knocks-tinubus-muslim-muslim-ticket-for-2027/?utm_source=operamini&utm_medium=feednews&utm_campaign=operamini_feednews 20 Likes

That combination is what can guarantee election victory for Tinubu. You people can't hoodwink Tinubu to pick a Northern Christian running mate because we all know Muslims are in the majority in the core north and they need a Muslim to represent their interest. southwest is not complaining because we see Tinubu as a balanced politician and not a fanatical Muslim. 40 Likes 2 Shares |

The religious campaign has begun once again. The very script that crashed in 2023 is quietly being recycled, as though people have forgotten how badly it flopped. And to these clowns screaming blue murder, here's a reality check, even if Tinubu were to pick the CAN Chairman as his running mate, they still wouldn't vote for him. So spare everyone the useless noise. Politics is a game of strategy, not emotional blackmail. Tinubu did not choose Shettima because he is a Muslim, he chose him because he considered it the most effective political strategy. Whether one agrees with that calculation or not is a different debate entirely. Besides, his choices of same fate is even a disadvantage for him. 39 Likes 2 Shares |

While the best way to combat injustice and crime is inclusiveness and equality. However, I am of the opinion that the most perceive position is that of a deputy or vice... That seat is as cold as ice block and if you say no use late President Buhari as a case study! Despite having Osinbanjo a Christian as the vice president what else has the Christians benefited rather than marginalize and prejudice government? But President Tinubu changed the calcus, he changed the narrative by giving multiple Christians key positions despite the so called amplified marginalized Muslim-Muslim ticket. Perhaps for me, let the Muslim-Muslim ticket continue while key appointment is given to Christians or shared equitable well. 11 Likes |

I don't know any President that's doing his best to decimate terrorist, bandit and others like President Tinubu but they keep gathering again like they were not killed. Makes me wonder what misguided ideology is making this fellas go mad in a world that in the next 100 years most of here won't be here again, so is it hard to be patient for God's judgement. 17 Likes |

Richtaiwo:The mistake with your political theory is that you assume that his Hausa-Fulani muslim votes that he got in 2023 are intact. Is that why the noise about Fulani died down in the Southwest? Where is Sunday Igboho and how far with his plans to evict all Fulanis from Yorubaland? 6 Likes |

runningriot:Attempting to eat from two pots at the same time will only lead to food poisoning. Tinubu has gambled away the little in-road he thought he was making in the middlebelt as that support was largely conditional on the thinking that he will pick a Christian Vice from the region, meanwhile the advantage of the muslim-muslim ticket on the Hausa-Fulani North is no longer there as they have seen his true colour of betrayal and ingratitude. Where will his votes now come from? No right-thinking Christian Northerner will see a balanced ticket in an Obi or an Atiku and still vote Tinubu. Even if the criteria is strictly performance, he hasn't performed up to par to neutralise the insensitivity. 6 Likes |

Vasta has taken to the media space to showcase his illiteracy about the constitution of our great country. What constitutional or party law has been broken? Was it not in same ticket that His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) won the last election? Vasta should know the APC is greater than him and his utterances are inconsequential! His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) remains committed towards delivering dividends of democracy to EVERY Nigerian IRRESPECTIVE of religion, tribe or ethnicity. 5 Likes |
