Meanwhile, some top members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) were clearly against the ruling party's Muslim-Muslim ticket ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

Others who were also present at the meeting were Abbo and Solomon Dalung, a former minister of youth and sport.
During the summit, Dogara cautioned northern Christians not to surrender to the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling APC, adding that the choice of the ruling party will promote injustice, and inequality and will work against the collective vision of unity in Nigeria.
