Choosing a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 presidential election has been rejected by Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), who has called it awful and disrespectful.
This was stated in a statement made public on Sunday and provided to journalists by the senior attorney.
Adegboruwa urged Nigerians of all faiths to protest the governing party’s decision in 2023 with their votes.
This comes just 12 hours after media outlets reported that Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, has chosen Senator Kashim Shettima, a former governor of Borno State, as his running mate, settling on a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Additionally, it was alleged that Tinubu wanted to choose Babagana Zulum, the state’s current governor, as his running mate but he reportedly requested that his mentor, Shettima, should be chosen instead.
Adegboruwa reacted to the news by declaring, “It is a poor choice, in a million ways!!!
“Nigerians, whether Muslims, Christians, Traditionalists, etc, should reject APC with their votes come 2023.
“A Muslim-Muslim ticket in present-day Nigeria is fuel for Boko Haram, incentive for ISWAP and a call for more terrorists.
“Unless of course those parading the ticket are themselves complicit.
“There is no better way to insult our sensibilities.
“I pray it is not true.”
