The emergence of Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, a northern Christian from Plateau State, as the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress has begun to stir speculation that the APC may be planning a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2027 presidential election.
The political calculation has triggered a debate among adherents across party lines and in religious spaces.
Sunday PUNCH reports that APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 general elections provoked a storm of controversies, with the opposition alleging an Islamisation agenda.
On Thursday, the APC picked Yilwatda as its new National Chairman to replace Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, a Muslim from Kano State, who stepped down weeks earlier due to what the APC termed ill health.
