 All Progressive Congress youths in the northeast part of the country have said that the recent opera by former S. G. F. Babacher-Lawal and that of the former speaker Jakubo Dogara against the choice of Shatimah's tenable running mate holds no grounds. The youths describe the opera as mere political interest that will be addressed by the party on negotiation table. Our correspondent Ibrahim Abubakar has the report as presented from our studios. The choice of Senator Kashim Shatimah by Ashwa Jubbala Ahmed tenable as running mate has continued to generate reactions from Nigerians. The impediment against this ticket is because of its Muslim-Muslim status, according to politicians and Nigerians who are rejected it. The party's youth in the northeast have, however, endorsed Shatimah whom they describe as Awadi's son. An APC youth leader, Jason Kware, said the choice of Shatimah is synonymous to the victory for the party come 2023. We on behalf of the youths of the northeast, we want to pledge our unalloyed loyalty to that ticket and to assure them that we are going to give them 100% support going into the 2023 election. We have also resolved as a party to ensure that we activate local government polling units, water polling units in all the words that we have in the north. We deliver a massive victory for the party and safeguard our votes going into the 2023 general election. Another youth, Jamil Yusuf, believes that the APC is after the development of Nigeria and not interested in politics of religion. So natural that some people will be aggrieved in one thing or the other. But I think a lot of us have joined APC as politicians, not as a member, as a religious body. We have, APC is a great party, yes, the people that are aggrieved in one or two things that happen in APC is natural. We are a family, we'll come out, we'll discuss and sometimes some people will get angry. And I know by the special grace of God, in the nearer future, we'll come back to the table, discuss issues and forget about our differences. We are first of all Nigerians before becoming a Christian or becoming a Muslim. Some of the leaders that have been complaining in one thing or the other that is happening is, some of them have gone to the peak of their career, not because they are Christians but because they were Nigerians. We have a former SDF that he was picked as a secretary to the government of the Federation, not because he's a Christian but because he is first of all a Nigerian.
