APC is not Muslim party- Osinbajo


Vice-president, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not a Muslim party and that President Muhammadu Buhari has no Islamic agenda in Nigeria as alleged.

Gombe South Senatorial Zone, where Kaltungo is located, is the

stronghold of PDP and a multi-cultural and multi religious community.
