If APC Goes Ahead With Muslim-Muslim Ticket It Will Spell Doom Even If All 36 Govs Defect To APC—Vatsa
Fresh political tension is building inside the ruling camp as a senior chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jonathan Vatsa, has warned that the party could face serious backlash if it repeats its Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket strategy in the 2027 elections.
According to him, political defections alone will not guarantee victory, no matter how massive they are. Alot of people won’t agree with this, Watch Video Now.
Vatsa stressed that even if all 36 state governors defect to the APC, it would still not automatically translate into electoral success. He insisted that the real power still lies with ordinary voters, not political heavyweights switching parties.
His comments come amid growing speculation about possible repeat strategies from the 2023 elections, where the APC fielded a Muslim-Muslim ticket — a decision that triggered national debate and strong reactions across different regions.
He warned that relying on defections could mislead party leaders into thinking victory is already secured, when in reality, public sentiment remains unpredictable and highly sensitive.
According to him, many politicians who join the party are often more interested in securing personal political ambitions than building long-term party strength.
As Nigeria moves closer to another election cycle, his statement has reopened conversations around fairness, representation, and national unity.
The big question now is: Will APC listen to these warnings, or stick to its current political calculations?
