MUSLIM-MUSLIM TICKET OF TINUBU-SHETTIMA BY DR. DAUDA AWWAL Tinubu may lose Presidential General Election if he fails to reverse his MuslimMuslim Ticket. A Muslim-Muslim ticket does not guarantee the votes of Muslims as Christians will not necessarily vote for a Christian-Christian or Muslim-Christian. Religion may not determine the progress or meaningful development of Nigeria. Only a visionary leader with the right manifesto can achieve the quality leadership and management of Nigeria's resources into meaningful development.
L-R:Bola Ahmed Tinubu,Kashim Shettima
Nigerian Politics is very complicated, the political situation in Nigeria is always tense because no one knows what will happen the next second. Nigerians are feeling the heat and looking forward to a good change in 2023. Nigeria continues to struggle to deliver good governance since the first, second, third and fourth Republic in Nigeria. Nigeria failed to do so due to bad leadership and corrupt top Government officials she had. Nigeria has suffered in both military and civilian governments and Nigerians are hungry, looking for a good Democratic Governance which will bring food to their table and put a smile on their faces. 1
Corruption, leadership challenges, lack of transparency, violation of electoral acts, violation of rule of law, unemployment, God Fatherism, lack of power in the sector, healthcare, and security are the major challenges in the Democratic Governance in Nigeria from 1960 to the present. President Buhari rejected Tinubu to be a vice president in 2015 because of the Muslim-Muslim Ticket. Do you think President Buhari is supporting the MuslimMuslim ticket of Tinubu-Shettima for the Presidency 2023? Senator Elishah Abibo said;'' It is an insult for Tinubu to say there is no competent Christian from the North to be his Vice President. Tinubu desperate for power has chosen Boko Haram sympathizer as running mate''. Abraham Sam says that the APC has initiated politics of religion and Identity. The North has 19 States-Christians dominate the politics in just 3 of these 19 states viz Benue, Taraba and Plateau. The sizeable Christian population in Nassarawa (55%) Adamawa (50%) Borno (30%). APC Muslim-Muslim Ticket would not promote trust between the people of the different faiths in Nigeria. A Nigerian Cleric in the Philippines Rev Tony Mariogbae says that ''It is a slap on the faces of Christian to say that in the whole north, we don't have competent Christian who is capable of playing the role of vice president in Nigeria''. Muslim-Muslim ticket may be a threat to the peaceful co-existence of Nigerians, the leaders of APC must establish justice over the Muslim-Muslim ticket of TinubuShettima and reverse back the ticket. Although the Nigerian constitution does not state that a Nigerian candidate running for the presidential election must not pick a running mate from his religious group but religions play a great role when it comes to an election in Nigeria. Northern APC Christian leaders have rejected the TinubuShettima Muslim-Muslim-Muslim Ticket. Engn Babachir Lawal stated that Tinubu is a very good man, he is a great listener, and very generous in both cash and kindness, ‘’I have advised him to make sure that Kashim Shettima's two hands are always plain and clean. Based on his choice, I am sure he thinks he is ready for the outcome of that choice. Christians can go to blazes with their votes. He must be told that there will be consequences for his choice. It is a disastrous error by my good Friend-Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his choice of a running mate’’. Another political critic says that it is a great risk for Tinubu to choose Muslim-Muslim Ticket. Religion is part of the problems in Nigeria. Tinubu and Shettima are planning to represent Nigerians in the government, not for religions. Muslim-Muslim Ticket: A Jihadist Agenda -Bolaji Akinyemi MKO Abiola also picked Babagana Kingibe (Kanuri)-Muslim-Muslim ticket 30 years ago the election was annulled by Gen.Ibrahim Babangida and handed power to a Christian-Earnest Sonekan who died 11 January,2022.
