POLITICS DIGEST- Voting along religious lines in the 2023 general election may trigger negative consequences among Nigerians and threaten national development, Northern Christian leaders in the All Progressives Congress and Northern Muslim political leaders said on Sunday.
They also agreed to adopt one of the presidential candidates in a bid to defeat the Muslim-Muslim ticket adopted by the APC despite the public outcry.

The APC Northern Christian leaders, led by a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; and a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, agreed to focus on issues that unite them as a people rather than encouraging attacks on sensitive religious issues in the name of politics.
The resolutions were contained in a communiqué jointly signed by Dogara and a former deputy governor of Sokoto State and ex-Minister of Water Resources during the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo, Mukhari Shagari, after a consultative meeting held in Abuja on Saturday.
The meeting also had in attendance a former governor of Adamawa State, Boni Haruna; a former governor of Kwara State, Abdulfattah Ahmed; ex-Minister of Sports, Damishi Sango; Senator Idris Ahmed Umar; and two former deputy governors of Kogi State, Yomi Awoniyi and Simon Achuba.
