BBola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is terrified of a Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2023.

Tinubu Campaign spokesperson Bayo Onanuga accused the PDP of misinformation in a Facebook post on Wednesday night.

Last Monday, when delegates voted, the "scaremongering campaign" began on the conference grounds in Eagle Square, he added.

Despite the fact that the mischief was put out before it could spread, Onanuga stated that the PDP has "continued to feed the flames of religious mistrust in Nigeria."

The veteran journalist said nearly three weeks after “it breached the power rotation principle” which ought to return power to the south, the PDP dithers over the choice of a running mate for its candidate Atiku Abubakar.

Onanuga informed the public that all the anti-muslim articles since Tinubu won the 2023 ticket are mostly products of PDP machine.

“Only PDP can be mortally afraid of a muslim-muslim ticket as it is most likely to disrupt its 2023 election permutation, the way it upset its ancestral party, the National Republican Convention in 1993, when MKO Abiola and Babagana Kingibe won handily,” he said.

Onanuga said the fear of APC and its candidate has been fuelling national antagonisms against a matter beyond the purview of the 1999 constitution.

The former News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) chief insists the country’s constitution did not make religion a factor in seeking elective positions.

He said Chapter VI, Part I, Section 131 states that a person may be qualified for election into the office of the president if a citizen by birth, has attained the age of 35 years and is a member of a party.

Onanuga added that when people introduce religion into a secular activity, they can only plan to tear Nigeria apart via a holy war.

The spokesman urged Nigerians to “disregard the PDP red-herring campaign and refuse to swallow it hook, line and sinker”.

His post added that the country needs a formidable team, either Christian or Muslim, to lead its 200 million people driven by a vision of national development.

I dont know why people are giving this Tinubu guys attention about Muslim-Muslim ticket,making them feel superior or what? Allow them choose their Muslim VP ,and allow Atiku who stood no chance before to take a Christian VP and let's see who wins.

We need competent hands to move this country forward.

I will even advise Tinubu to choose a Traditionalist this time. This country is not meant for Christains and Muslims alone

APC is evil. They are destroying everything holding us together with little development to suit. In 7 years, these people have borrowed much more than we can pay back in our lifetime. You can’t even go from Niger to Abuja after 4pm these days and I think Nigerians are being insulted for them to even think about continuing.

APC should first apologise to Musa in Kaduna whose village has been taken over by bandits, Kayode in Ondo who is now scared of going to church and Emeka who cannot travel on a night bus from Enugu to Owerri all because of bandits and criminals.

Honestly, people have a right to whoever they wish but it is a disgrace to see people shouting APC up and down like they have done anything useful. Even if you can’t give us food, don’t take our lives.

Asiwaju is a Muslim and ordinarily represents the Muslim divide. Why then the insistence that yet another Muslim would have to pair with him? The reason is simple: Asiwaju does not represent the Muslim North. Put differently, the core Northern Muslims do not believe that Asiwaju represents them from a religious perspective.

The current APC federal government has played up religion as a high negative energy to divide the country like never before. That is why the Christian divide will not ignore the Muslim-Muslim ticket this time around even though a block in the APC North led by El Rufai strongly believes  it does not matter.

Furthermore, the Muslim-Muslim ticket kite they fly also suggests that the APC Christian political leaders of the North have no electoral value. It is really surprising that among the APC Northern Christian leaders, none is considered qualified enough to pair up with Tinubu to respect and maintain the delicate religious balance in the country. To the likes of El Rufai, men like Boss Mustafa, a fine gentleman with an unblemished record and currently Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) is unqualified.

It is a form of religious intolerance to even contemplate a Muslim-Muslim ticket in the first place.

failures

Humn! Promoting religious supremacist agenda in a supposed secular state? Go ahead! Let Nigerians decide.

Nothing concern any political party with your Muslim - Muslim ticket.

It's Christian Nigerians that are complaining. Not PDP.

I wish we can just do away with PDP and APC. These comrades (PDP/ APC) have pulled a rich country down.

Muslim - Muslim ticket will be the end of APC
Muslim - Christian ticket will be the end of APC

2023 will be the end of APC

Peter obi is coming

That's more reason your principal not deserve to be APC candidate, but since he is highest bidder, he bought his way already, this is man that shouting he is unifier ooo.

He has not taken the ticket fully ,he started allocating all positions to his fellow juhadists.

Until he gives all positions to Islam before will start complaining.

these nigerian people are fools

One thing about me is I love when someone is very plain and straight forward. If you want Muslim- Muslim ticket fine,but don't hide it under the "umbrella of competence". It's funny tho when you say Muslim-Muslim ticket don't matter but you care about zoning, tribe and ethnicity shouldn't matter. It looks as if we don't have competent northern christians.


Honestly religion and ethnicity shouldn't matter, but don't play double standard. If you want to chose a Muslim-Muslim ticket, don't make it about competency, cos there a people of other faiths who are very competent. I think Nigeria is not matured enough for a Muslim-Muslim Ticket.

To those of you saying "people who are complaining about tinubu Muslim-Muslim ticket won't vote for him in the first place", should note that if Tinubu wins he's going to be the president of all Nigerians not just his ers alone.

Democracy is for everyone and not the Majority alone.

Sighs....he should not be blaming PDP, are there no competent Northerner who is a Christian?

A dog that is destined to get lost will not heed to the hunters whistle.

Tinubu and APC can go ahead with Muslim-muslim ticket.

God riddance to bad rubbish

The APC is the worst thing to ever happen to humanity
Anybody voting for that party without collecting money na Mumu
Others dey cash out you dey vote free
As for me, Peter Obi has not given shishi and I don’t need shishi to vote for him

The bitter truth is that PDP are afraid of Tinubu picking Muslim Muslim

Deal with it.

Clowns,we are for obi

noleflendum:
It is very simple vote your Muslim Christian ticket make i vote for my own Muslim Muslim ticket

LeoDeKing:

Is it not as simple as that?

Since they know Tinubu will fail if he picks a Muslim running mate and they want him to fail, shouldn't they be happy about it? Why the noise then?

Biodun556:
The slot of Vice president in APC belongs to the North. They are free to choose christian or Muslim

Gbamsolutely!
