The former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir David Lawal, hosted a gathering of Christian APC leaders from the North on Wednesday night.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation, revealed this in a tweet.
Remember that the APC will be running a Muslim-Muslim ticket in the general election of 2023, and Bola Tinubu’s selection of Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate has prompted widespread criticism from concerned Nigerians, religious leaders, opposition parties, and the Christian Association of Nigeria.
Babachir Lawal and the Northern APC Christina caucus are two who have criticized Tinubu.
