APC MUSLIM-MUSLIM TICKET: No One Can Use Back Door to Islamise Nigeria - Nafata

A Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket might have a chance if it is headed by a Muslim outside our Islamist core North… just like June 12 where a Yoruba Muslim was at the top of the ticket.

Christian-Christian, Muslim-Muslim or Ifa-Ifa Ticket and Irrelivance of Faith - EL-RUFAI

Fejiro Oliver of Elombah.com either does not understand simple English or was hired to lie on behalf of the likes of Wendell Simlins of this world.

What I opined about same-faith ticket is clear. I do not care about the religion of the candidates provided they have the capability, competence and capacity to fight corruption, create jobs and develop our nation without discrimination. And these qualities can be ascertained from their track records in public service and the private sector.

I do not care whether the 2015 presidential ticket consists of Christian-Christian, Muslim-Muslim or Ifa-Ifa. In my 54 years of being a Nigerian citizen I did not feel oppressed when Gowon and Akinwale-Wey ruled this nation.

Neither did I feel specially privileged when the disciplinarian and patriotic Buhari-Idiagbon duo governed the country in very difficult times. No eyebrows were raised when Chief Awolowo picked Philip Umeadi as his running mate in 1979. I did hear the elderly bigots of today shout when Chief MKO Abiola chose Babagana Kingibe as his running mate in 1993.
