The All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential flag bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are not to be envied as the party navigates another potentially divisive issue, the choice vice presidential candidate.
The party has so far been able to resolve the issue of which political zone in the North is to produce Tinubu’s running mate and has settled for the North-East.
It also steered through the delicate and emotion-ladden faith-related issues, and settled for a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the party despite severe opposition from Christian bodies like the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

It has, however, emerged that the party and its candidate are facing a serious challenge narrowing the choice of running mate to a specific candidate in the North-East – a situation that we gathered, has polarised the stakeholders.
