Claim: Two Muslim politicians from Nigeria's ruling All Progressives Congress  party will contest the 2023 general elections on a joint presidential ticket, a decision that has prompted some criticism. In response, a video of a Christian priest relating a kind act by a Muslim cleric has been published on Facebook with a claim that the sermon was effectively an endorsement of the APC's candidates. However, the original footage makes no mention of politics or the elections and was filmed before the APC's presidential candidates were chosen.
