Stop embarrassing yourself if you also think your parent money spent on your education was not in vain , you have no moral ground to campaign for any of the present frontlines presidential aspirants because they belong to the same class , let’s argue to learn without propaganda, tell me your candidate and what has he done different or what is he going to do different

How did we get here? Before the late 1980s, religion was not a defining factor in national politics. Alhaji Shehu Shagari, elected president in 1979, was a Fulani Muslim surrounded by Christians. His No 2, Dr Alex Ekwueme, was an Igbo Christian. The No 3 was Dr Joseph Wayas, a Christian from today’s Cross River state who was senate president. The No 4 was Chief Edwin Ume Ezeoke, a Christian from today’s Anambra state who was Speaker. All the service chiefs were Christians: Lt Gen Alani Akinrinade (army chief, later defence chief); Lt Gen Sanda Jallo (Army Chief); Vice iral Akin Aduwo (Naval Chief); and AVM John Yisa-Doko (Air Chief). The Inspector General of Police was Mr Sunday Adewusi. In fact, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the presidential candidate of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) in 1979, fielded a Christian-Christian, Southerner-Southerner ticket: Chief Philip Umeadi, from today’s Anambra state, was his running mate. Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, candidate of the Nigeria Peoples Party (NPP), also did a Christian-Christian ticket, pairing with Dr Ishaya Audu from Kaduna state. Although Shagari’s Muslim-Christian pairing won the election with 5.6 million votes, the Christian-Christian tickets of Awolowo and Azikiwe did not do badly, netting 4.9 million and 2.8 million respectively. Awo and Zik got a total of 7.7 million votes. That was the Nigeria I grew up in as a primary school kid. Military governments were not sold to the religious thing either. When Gen Yakubu Gowon, a Northern Christian, was Head of State, Vice iral Joseph Edet Akinwale Wey, the Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, was his second-in-comman. The Vice-Chairman of the Federal Executive Council was Awolowo, the Minister of Finance. Effectively, Gowon’s military and civilian deputies were both Christians. Religion was of no consequence. Maj-Gen Muhammadu Buhari and Brigadier (later Maj-Gen) Babatunde Idiagbon — both Fulanis, both Muslims, both Northerners — were No 1 and No 2 in 1983-85 and I can’t any objections. That was what Nigeria used to be. Something definitely went wrong thereafter as religious crises erupted under Gen Ibrahim Babangida. When Bashorun MKO Abiola, a Yoruba Muslim, wanted to pick his deputy for the June 12, 1993 presidential election, we had lost our innocence. The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) warned him not to nominate a Muslim, otherwise Christians would not vote for him. They gave him a list of Northern Christians to pick from: Dr Chris Abashiya, Dr Ishaya Audu, Mr Bala Takaya and Mr Paschal Bafyau. These were no political heavy hitters. Abiola achieved the North-South balance by picking Amb Babagana Kingibe, albeit a Northern Muslim. They won nine of the 16 northern states. The cold calculations in Tinubu’s camp, I should guess, were in favour of a Muslim running mate. And I suppose that these might be their essential assumptions. One, a Muslim-Muslim ticket should not be a problem for the Muslim North where the bulk of the votes are. It should be a major counter-offer to an Atiku presidency since the president and vice-president would be Muslims. Two, it should also not be a problem for the South-West, apart from the cosmopolitan Lagos. Tinubu is the homeboy and religion is not yet a major political factor, although CAN and Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) are working overtime, along with fifth columnists, to poison Yorubaland with bitter bigotry. Three, their calculation may be that those most likely to be vocally opposed to a Muslim-Muslim ticket are voters and commentators from the South-South, South-Eest and Christian North who do not vote for APC on a normal day. Even if Tinubu were a pastor, APC would still be a no-no for many voters in these constituencies. |

kayperry: Agreed with you but apc is not the only political party on the ballot paper , we have options to choose unless we all agreed that only apc is the competent party |
![]() |
What are they protesting for ? As if apc is the only party on ballot paper , if you are not comfortable with same faith candidate then go for other party with mix faith candidates, you call it a mistake yet you continue to wail over it every now and then I think the opposition should be happy that ruling party commited a blunder that will make there journey to aso villa very easy , It seems their statement calling Tinubu choice of running mate a mistake is a big lie . Am a Christian and I see nothing wrong in fielding a same faith candidates but if am not comfortable with it I will then go for other party but I don’t think I want to place religion ahead of competency because governance is not about religion but a serious project that we suppose not mix with , tribalism, ethinicity or religion if we really want to get things done right as a nation.

olaniyilukman: Let them continue to deceive themselves, even if Tinubu choose pope from Rome they will criticize and still not vote for him , the only option remain with them is to vote their preferred candidate, they wanted to convince him choose wrong running mate but now that it dawned on them that he made the right choice , they won’t allow us to breath in peace . Vote , campaign and canvass vote for your preferred candidate allow others to enjoy their civic responsibility too . Too much noise 2 Likes |

Viscuz: How old is Abiola in 1993 mr poster if you don’t know better ask Abiola died at age 60 in 1998 which means he was 55 years as at that time , are you telling me that Abiola and Tinubu are age mate ?

But why all this noise , there are 4 major political party , of which 3 choose one Muslim one Christian, only one among the 4 goes with Muslim Muslim ticket so you have choice no one is forcing anybody to vote for a particular candidate by force , those of us that we are comfortable with Muslim Muslim ticket should be allow to perform our civic responsibility likewise those who oppose it should be allow to do same . Enough of this wailing, they have made their position known to us with convincing explanation it’s up to the electorate to speak with our vote , perhaps there is something you people knows that we don’t know because I can’t figure it out. If you see it as a blunder on the part of apc I think the opposition should be happy for making there victory easy not the other way round
