The general overseer of the Champions Royal Assembly, Prophet Joshua Iginla, has responded to the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Prophet Iginla claims that the Muslim-Muslim APC presidential ticket is a “sign of war.”
Sen. Kashim Shettima of Borno State was selected by APC presidential contender Bola Tinubu to be his running mate.
Shettima is a Muslim from the north of the country, while Tinubu is a Muslim from the south.
Tinubu’s selection went against Nigerians’ requests for a Christian running mate.
Iginla responded by calling Tinubu’s choice offensive.
Addressing his church members in Abuja, Iginla said: “I asked myself, in a country like Nigeria with too much strong religious beliefs, why will the ruling party go for a Muslim-Muslim ticket? Why will their presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, go with that view? I asked myself again if we don’t know, we are sounding the drum of war in a place where there is unity, peace, and understanding despite our differences. Nigeria is a country for all and does not belong to a particular set of religion. It has never happened before in this country. Why now?
“If we must make Nigeria great, we must allow equity, justice and sensitivity to be the watch of the day for our leaders. I am pleading in my heart; this was not the Nigeria I was born to. This was not the Nigeria that our great heroes fought for. What is going on? Our leaders, please save us because the Muslim-Muslim ticket is a sign of war”.
