Stakeholders have expressed divergent views over the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s decision to retain its Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 general election, with some arguing that competence should take precedence over religion, while others called for greater inclusiveness and a stronger focus on governance.
