Political insiders reveal that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is quietly considering four northern Christian leaders as potential running mates ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
According to media reports, names being discussed within the ruling All Progressives Congress include:
• Yakubu Dogara – former Speaker, House of Representatives
• Christopher Musa – Defence Minister (retd. Lt-Gen.)
• Caleb Mutfwang – Governor of Plateau State
• Matthew Hassan Kukah – Catholic Bishop of Sokoto
Sources say the move is part of a broader strategy to balance religion and regional representation, especially following intense criticism of the Muslim–Muslim ticket used in the 2023 elections.
While some Nigerians online are backing Christopher Musa for his security background, others argue that competence and performance should outweigh religious considerations.
With 2027 still ahead, the debate is already heating up as party strategists weigh political reality, national unity, and electability.
