In an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, the groups said only a Christian can enhance the party’s chances, as it will guarantee a balanced, harmonious and formidable presidency.

Signed by Patriot Ndubuisi Nwogu, the Convener
of APC Christian Youth Forum and 200 others, the letter also called on the president and other leaders to “look inward and give Nigerians a befitting northern cleric that can assist the president and one that will be fair to the rest of the North”.

They, therefore, urged President Buhari to intervene and ensure that a Northern Christian is picked to run alongside Tinubu in 20023.

According to them, this will not only balance “our religious and ethnic sensitivities” but ensure the nation’s continuous growth and development.

“Mr President, you may wish to know that you have sacrificed a lot for the unity and stability of our great country. As such, your input regarding the presidential team of our great party at the general elections is of utmost importance.

“It is the resolve of all well-meaning advocates and fans of the Muhammadu Buhari administration. This is indeed a testament to the strong commitment of the generality of APC support groups and critical stakeholders, as well as fans of President Muhammadu Buhari, towards the success of the present administration.

“That we are gathered in our numbers is not a coincidence; it reflects our resolve to stay united as a party as we prepare for the 2023 general elections.

“We are all witnesses to the incredible display of unity during the conduct of our presidential primaries that saw the emergence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the presidential flag bearer of the party.”
