The statement further disclosed that the party's explanation on the choice of Masari as a temporary arrangement, was not convincing enough but rather exposed the well circulated attempt to exclude Christians from the governance of the country.

The group further disclosed that the decision has alot of negative implications on the unity and progress of Nigeria and as such advocated for fairness and equity to all other religions in the country as it has always been either Muslim/Christian or Christian/Muslim.

According to the statement, the party's decision to paired Muslim/Muslim as it's Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates has violated the principles of federal character adding that if not reverse, it will amount to marginalization of Christians and may push them leave APC for any party that accommodated their interest.
