Atiku, Tinubu, Obi, Kwankwaso: Why North Would Not Vote Based On Religion In 2023 Election

• The APC has responded to the PDP's recent comment on the Muslim-Muslim ticket, noting that the North would not vote based on religion in the 2023 election
• Dele Momodu, the spokesperson of the PDP presidential campaign council, claimed that the North will not vote a fake Muslim in the name of a Muslim-Muslim ticket
• But Bala Ibrahim, the APC publicity director, in his reaction to the claim, described Momodu as a failed student of history, adding that the North has not been voting based on religion

The notion that Northern Nigeria, which has about 50% of the registered voters for the 2023 elections, has been voting based on religious sentiments has been dismissed by the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Nigerians will be out en-masses in a few weeks to vote for their preferred presidential candidate as President Muhammadu Buhari prepares to leave the post in May.
