On his side, Lawal said the same faith ticket of the APC is a deliberate plan to create further division in the north.
Responding to the concerns of the two leaders, the director general of Asiwaju Tinubu-Shettima Coalition for good governance, Adebayo Shittu, said there is no cause for concern as the concerned people have no electoral value.
Why Lawal, Dogara deserve no media attention
He said:

Shittu added that they can not intimidate the party while urging the media to stop giving them attention.
According to him, this is not the time anybody should be threatening the APC or its candidate
