The forum of Northern Christians of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has continued with their consultations in reaction to the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the party ahead of the 2023 general election.
The forum is led by a former Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir David Lawal.
The meeting with the northern Christian leaders was disclosed by Dogara in a tweet Tuesday afternoon.
Only recently, they convened a summit of Northern Christian leaders in Abuja where they rejected the adoption of a Muslim-Muslim Presidential and Vice Presidential ticket by the ruling APC.

APC presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu had in July nominated Senator Kashim Shettima, a Muslim from Borno State as his running mate.
Hon Dogara, in a Twitter account @YakubDogara, shared a group photograph of himself, Ex-SGF Babachir Lawal, Senator Elisha Ishaku Abbo (APC, Adamawa), and former Kogi State Deputy Governor Simon Achuba in the company of all State Chairmen of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) from the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The tweet reads: “#NigeriaDecides2023- The Fight for Justice Continues. Today, we held a Consultative Meeting with Christian Leaders From the 19 Northern States and the FCT on the Pan-Nigerian Platform to Adopt in 2023.”
