Leading with the demographic reality of the North, the APC stalwart said the party would ultimately rely on electoral numbers when deciding the composition of its ticket. Aliyu also argued that the controversies that greeted the Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2023 had largely faded, insisting that Christians are not being marginalised under the Tinubu administration. “So, I think the Muslim-Muslim ticket can still fly with the APC,” he added. Responding to questions on whether the North would support a Christian-Christian presidential ticket, the APC chieftain ruled out such a possibility. “Based on the North I know, the North will not be comfortable with a Christian-Christian ticket because if you do that you’re completely alienating the Muslims in the North,” Aliyu said.
