2023: Top Northern APC chieftain resigns after Tinubu picked Muslim running mate

Mr Daniel Bwala, the National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has resigned from the party, apparently based on recent developments in the party.   Weetalknaija.com.ng (WTN) reports Bwala’s resignation is coming hours after the presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu decided to go for a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 presidential election.

Tinubu, a Muslim, said he decided to pick the former Governor of Borno State, Sen. Kashim Shettima, who is also a Muslim, as his running mate because he possessed one of the best credentials for the election. 

Following the development, Bwala announced his resignation from the APC on Sunday night. 

“Tonight I officially resigned my membership of @OfficialAPCNg on principles and conviction that I hold so dear. At this time of our national existence, our efforts and energy should gravitate towards uniting our people,” Bwala tweeted.   Tonight I officially resigned my membership of @OfficialAPCNg on principles and conviction that I hold so dear.
