Sheikh Ibrahim Aliyu Kaduna, a popular Islamic cleric, has chastised northern governors elected on the APC platform for endorsing former Lagos State Governor Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the president.
The preacher chastised the governors for choosing Tinubu, whom he labeled as unfit and ill.
He also railed against the APC and Tinubu’s choice of a northern Christian as his presidential running mate in 2023.
Sheikh Aliyu Kaduna, in a viral video, threatened to mobilize against the ruling party if it chooses a northern Christian as vice presidential candidate, predicting that the APC will lose the election.
He accused APC governors in the north of allegedly trading the fate of Muslims in the region.
“Northern governors, especially Muslims amongst you, are treacherous because you’ve sold our destiny; and God will punish you for that.
“You set aside a critical Islamic requirement because the first criterion for choosing a leader in Islam is that the person must be healthy and physically fit.
“Now your second error will be to pair him [Tinubu] with a Christian from our region. This will be disastrous because we would mobilise the people to reject the ticket at the polling units” daily post quoted him as saying.
