A few hours before the close of the window that allows candidates to step down for political parties to exchange candidates, Northern Christians in the ruling APC from the North Central zone have asked the party to replace Tinubu’s running mate with a Christian from the region.?
?The window will close this week but protesters from the six North-central states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), are demanding the office of the vice-presidential and not the DG of the presidential campaign that was given to Lalong.?
?
The protesters who assembled in Abuja from Ilorin, Makurdi, Lafia, Minna, Jos, and other cities, demanded that the party swaps its vice-presidential candidacy with the DG position given to the geopolitical zone.?
?
Gathered under the aegis of the APC North-Central Youths and Women Forum, they converged at the Unity Fountain before proceeding to the entrance of the Villa to deliver a letter of appeal and protest to President Muhammadu Buhari. The letter that was signed by Dauda Yakubu and 70 other stakeholders represented Benue, Nasarawa, Niger, Kogi, Plateau, Kwara, and the FCT.
