Although sources close to the politicians said they were in Minna on Monday to felicitate with Babangida on his 81st birthday anniversary, it was gathered that it also served as a forum to consult on the controversial All Progressives Congress (APC) Muslims-Muslim ticket.
Inside sources told Daily SUN that Babachir, Dogara, and other northern Christian leaders in the APC were consulting before deciding on which of the presidential candidates to back ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Recall that Babachir, Dogara, and some top Christian leaders in the APC had rejected the party’s Muslim-Muslim presidential and vice presidential ticket of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima.
