As Lawal, Dogara, others rally Northern Christians to reject Tinubu/Shettima t Muslim-Muslim ticket

AHEAD of 2023 general and Presidential elections, Northern Christians have rejected in totality the Muslim/ Ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC that has produced Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the Presidential candidate and Senator Kashim Shettima as the running mate, describing the action as an agenda to economically and olitically marginalise Northern Christians.

The decision which was taken Friday at Nicon Luxury Hotel, Abuja during the APC Northern Christians Leader Summit in conjunction with Christians from the north is a serious indication that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate Sen Shettima Kashim would face the herculean task convincing christains of northern extraction to vote for them in the 2023 poll.

The Christian leaders have vowed that no Christian would vote for the present arrangement of the APC.

Speaking as the Chairman of the event which has Christians drawn from the Nineteen Northern States, former Secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), Engr Babachir Lawal who noted that the Muslim-Muslim ticket was an extension of the exclusion of christains from the scheme of things in the country, however stressed  that the measure would disrupt the peace and social development of the country, he argued that the Muslim-Muslim ticket remains part of the subterranean plot to Islamise the country.

Babachir who gave a detailed reference of the marginalisation of christains in the APC NWC, Federal executive council (FEC), state and federal owned institutions of learnings in the country, charged christains in not only the north but the entire country not to be deceived the APC leadership on the Muslim-Muslim ticket since matters of religion cannot be divulge from the politics of the country.

He said, “We are not the ones that started this fight. APC started it. They should be ready to carry this cross. We are open to discussion with whoever discuss with chrustain community in good faith.”

On his part as the Guest Speaker, former Speaker, Federal House of Representatives, Honourable Yakubu Dogara  who spoke in the same vein,  described as “hogwash” the argument that the choice of Shettima was based on consideration of competence rather than his religious leanings.

According to Dogara,  notwithstanding his love for Tinubu, the argument that christians votes would not count as that of the Muslims lacks any logical basis as Nigerians irrespective of their religious leanings had ensured the emergence of former president Goodlick Jonathan and Olusegun Obasanjo in the past.

Bye bye evil party....

Peter Obi

Shey Tinubu will still get 50 million votes from the north like this ?

Tinubu own goal finish apc.

The entire Christiandom rejects the Muslim Muslim ticket...


And I hope the change in the CAN leader will not be political or to have the new guy this move... Because it will not work...

They don’t need to reject.

They should vote for their preffered candidates and rest.

Even if the guy use Pope As his Vice President , it won’t sway Christian votes in his direction. Wether he loses or not like some one rightly analyzed, he will get more votes with the Muslim / Muslim ticket than looking for an unknown Christian from the North.


They should stop making noise and just vote their choice in the coming election !

Even God has rejected it.

I pity Christians in Nigeria, especially in the North should they allow these islamists to brainwash them that m-m ticket doesn't matter... Chai

The persecution they're currently facing now will be a child's play should Tinubu win.

They will make sure that all Christians at the helm of power and top positions are sacked and replaced with only Muslims.

After Tinubu's tenure, he will handover to another Fulani muslim who will also pick a Muslim vice and it will now become a norm. They've successfully turn Nigeria to Islamic state.

Tinubu is an enemy to Christians in Nigeria but they still don't know yet. He has tried the agenda of Muslim-muslim ticket 4 times yet he faild. This is the fifth time he's attempting. He will still fail again.

Very Good. We warned the evil bat that this M-M ticket will heighten religious tensions & further divide the country along religious lines but his na-my-turn desperation to become President blinded his sense of reasoning.
Every Christian, Non-Muslim & indeed every right-thinking Nigerians should reject the satanic M-M ticket.

Imagine a scenario where this M-M ticket sails thru & we have a Muslim President & a Muslim Vice...

Now imagine a reverse scenario where we have a Christian President & a Christian Vice...
I can guarantee you that the 2nd scenario would be a sure recipe for undiluted violence. MURIC will immediately rise to condemn it, massive protests will erupt in the North, plenty of churches would be burnt down, Christians up north would be lynched at sight, shops would be looted....

Never expect another person to accept what you can never accept. That's Evil.

How Tinubu didn’t pick Dogara as his running mate was weird to me, Shettima is a terrible pick, from his meanness to being linked with boko haram, anyways they know better..
Those voting APC in the north are core APC , to win an election largely, you need an average street hawker to swing to you and I don’t think they will consider Tinubu that much, if APC is not doing at least 70 percent in the northern states, I believe it will be hard for them.
Wike already spoke today and I learnt from his camp that he mentioned to a couple of people that “only a bastar.d will force a vote in his state to Atiku, that the SS and SE aren’t slave to the north”. Their plan is to remain in the party but be silent instead of forcing votes(you know what that means for Atiku), If Kwankwaso drops his ambition(which may likely happen) and throw his for Tinubu, that will certainly help APC.
I think this election is between Tinubu and Obi(SE and SS with Obi will never vote Atiku, they would have done so if Rochas or any other SE useless politician was the Labour Party candidate), where will Atiku gather his votes from.
Inec killed APC when they made sure election results are directly sent to inec server from Polling Unit,if you must rig there, you have to accredit the people,forced them to vote you,kidnap the party reps and inec officials to sign and then ,how many Pooling unit can you do that and with people rejecting money as well and also, the large percentage of educated and right thinking youths in Nigeria. This will spell doom for APC.
You need the low income earners to win this election, only the price of things in the market will force your brain to make that decision.
This is just an analysis….
Y’all should go and get your PVC and vote, make this choice like you are saving your last breathe, it’s going to be bumpy but with the right hands, things can change for the better.
They’ve already started dividing the poor ones on Nairaland with religion and hatred for different tribes, none of these urchins calling names here is worth upto 100 million naira. They’ve started using them to spew hatred.
Y’all wise up

I'm honestly not surprised.

They did the right thing, the Muslims ing this Muslim/Muslim ticket don't Know what is wrong with them, Because they will never any Christian/Christian ticket!

That's why me as a Muslim is not ing tinubu, because I know I will not any Christian/Christian ticket and I don't want to be bias.

I honestly don't know what tinubu is thinking.

then vote for OBI then , since tinubu has made up his mind to be stubborn as goat

Islamic republic of Nigeria

Na today

Tinubu will still amass 67million votes from the north.

Nonsense and Vulture Griller's hairy armpit.

Omo,you no de tire?
Go find better work.

It is only some Western christains accept Muslim-Muslim tickets.... Some o.


But some of them rejects it too.

With the evil the are doing in lagos,christains should arise and defend there faith.

How many time will they reject it?

They should go and vote their candidate please and stop bleating, those that will vote APC will vote APC regardless.

And they are just waking up. Jangbajantist

No to Muslim Muslim ticket. We are all tired of APC

It's getting bored, how many times are they going to condemn it? CAN should whoever it wants to and stop playing the demigod role.
