Dogara speaks on replacing Shettima as Tinubu's running mate
Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has pleaded to be left out of discussions about replacing Vice President Kashim Shettima as President Bola Tinubu's running mate ahead of the 2027 election. Dogara spoke against speculations that the APC may field a Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2027. He emphasized the need for an inclusive government and rotational presidency, suggesting that a Christian running mate could achieve religious balance. Discussions about a Christian running mate are ongoing, but Dogara noted that the president's decision will likely prevail. Will the APC consider a Christian running mate for the 2027 election?
