As the 2023 election approaches, activist and convener of Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju on Tuesday said Bola Tinubu settling for a Muslim-Muslim ticket will further polarise Nigeria.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that in a seeming dilemma that speaks to a larger nationhood quandary, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential flagbearer, Bola Tinubu, mulls a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Speaking on the implications of Tinubu picking a fellow Muslim as a running mate, Adeyanju asserted that “the divisions will become super obvious in the coming years”.
“Many have not grasped what a Tinubu and his Muslim-Muslim ticket will do to this country. The divisions will become super obvious in the coming years. People like Nasir El Rufai (Governor of Kaduna State) are already emboldened and we see all the outcomes in Kaduna already. Keep Nigeria United by recognizing our religious divide and carry everyone along. May God bless Nigeria and everyone,” he wrote on his verified Facebook page.
The deadline for the submission of the names of candidates and their running mates has been set for Friday by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
