NCYC Urges Tinubu to Choose Christian Running Mate for 2027
As political momentum gathers ahead of the 2027 general elections, the North Central Youth Council (NCYC) has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to select a Christian as his running mate in the next presidential race. The group says such a move would reflect Nigeria’s religious diversity and promote national unity.
In a statement signed by its President, Sunday A. Asuku, the NCYC described the Muslim-Muslim ticket used in the 2023 election—pairing Tinubu with Vice President Kashim Shettima—as a controversial break from Nigeria’s long-standing tradition of religious balancing in top political offices.
The council warned that repeating the same formula in 2027 could deepen existing divisions and alienate large segments of the population.
“Choosing a Christian vice-presidential candidate is not just symbolic—it is a strategic, ethical, and unifying necessity,” Asuku stated.
“Nigeria is a multi-religious nation. Ignoring that fact undermines the foundation of our democracy.”
The NCYC argued that Tinubu’s 2023 victory, while decisive, was marked by weak performance in Christian-majority regions and drew criticism from religious bodies and civil society organizations.
Addressing this imbalance, the group said, would help rebuild public trust and improve Tinubu’s chances in the next election.
“Competent Christian leaders can be found across the country—from the South-East to the Middle Belt. Including them in national leadership would not only demonstrate fairness but also foster national cohesion,” Asuku added.
The group concluded by urging Tinubu to seize the moment and demonstrate true statesmanship.
“The 2027 elections will test Nigeria’s commitment to unity,” the statement read.
“This is a historic opportunity for President Tinubu to lead with inclusiveness and leave a lasting legacy.”
The NCYC’s appeal comes amid growing public discourse on equity, representation, and the future of leadership in Nigeria.
