In a chat with journalists in Abuja, the chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) said the APC candidate should be allowed to run on a Muslim-Muslim ticket if it would increase his chances of winning the 2023 election.

He said: “My attitude to it is a very practical one. You are in an election to win the election. Pick the candidate that will enhance your victory, regardless of his religion.

“If a candidate is in an election and he is serious about winning, he should do a detailed analysis. Any person that will enhance his victory, that is the person he should select as running mate.”
