2023 Elections: Muslim-Muslim Ticket Won’t Work In Nigeria – Datti Baba-Ahmed by Naijalarry: 9:00pm On Feb 21, 2023

The vice-presidential candidate of Labour Party, Datti Baba-Ahmed, says a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket will not work in Nigeria, given all the ethnoreligious complexities of Nigeria.

Nigeria has a Muslim majority in the North and a mostly Christian South, with its over 200 million population further split into over 250 tribes.

Baba-Ahmed shared his stance on the viability of a same-faith ticket in the light of the two Muslims presented by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for this Saturday’s competitive presidential poll.

APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu hails from Iragbiji in the south-western state of Osun State, while his running mate Kashim Shettima comes from Maiduguri, Borno State in northern Nigeria.

“Why today Tinubu is not the vice president of Nigeria is the same reason he cannot be president,” Baba-Ahmed said during a live appearance on Channels Television’s The 2023 Verdict on Tuesday.

“What couldn’t happen in 2015 when the then candidate Buhari asked for any nomination whatsoever from Tinubu – because that configuration has passed. It can no longer work in Nigeria. [A] Muslim-Muslin ticket cannot work anymore.”


Arguing that “that configuration cannot work anymore”, the Labour Party candidate underscored the place of faith in Nigeria’s political structure, saying the country’s sociopolitical makeup is not a random occurrence.

“The creator of the heavens and earth does not make mistakes. This is the Federal Republic of Nigeria as duly filed at the United Nations and registered too,” he said.

“It’s not the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for example, or the Vatican or Iran or Libya or Mauritania. It’s a federal republic, and God didn’t make a mistake by putting all of us, 250 [tribes].

“You find other countries, nearly 100 percent – one faith, one language, one group. Not the same in Nigeria – 250 [tribes] at least and two big competing religions. And we say that it’s not a mistake from our creator.”

According to him, out of 18 political parties that presented presidential candidates, 15 have fallen behind.

He added that of the other three, two have “misconfigured themselves”, saying they have “fallen out of alignment with the dictates of winning elections in Nigeria”.

Not only that. Datti is as honest as Obi. He was the only senator among 360 that refused to collect some form package that senators accrued to themselves.

Same thing we have being telling Politically naive Tinubu zombies like Garfield who are not residing in the North.
APC Governors can't even save Tinubu in the North.
We will say it again Atiku will win the North East and North West convincingly... that is the hard reality on the ground in the North today.

Mr man focus on your own race undecided

The Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC was as a matter of exigency because any good political analyst in Nigeria knows that you cannot pair a Southern Muslim with a Northern Christian and expect to make a headway in the elections since they are both minorities from their respective regions

Igbos just want a country that works. We don't vote based on tribalism, we voted OBJ, Yaradua, GEJ and even Atiku because they were the best among the contestants, now that we have chosen the best who happens to be an Igbo man like us, they are calling us tribalists, but the truth is everyone knows that Peter Obi is the best and that is why....

Vote peter obi

Datti that is not even sure of winning his own polling unit. dey talk about Nigeria



Meanwhile

*The Major reasons why I will support the candidacy of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed TINUBU for President of Federal Republic of Nigeria come 2023.*

*(1) TINUBU was first to start "Economic Summit" to proffer solutions for economic prosperity.*

*(2) TINUBU was first to start "Treasury Single Account (TSA)" in Lagos State to promote good governance, transparency and accountability.*

*(3) TINUBU was first to start "Independent Power Project" (Eron) to boost Power Supply, industrialisation and Employment Opportunities.*

*(4) TINUBU was first to promote "Digital Economy" by the digitalisation of Lagos Tax Administration to improve revenue collections for developments.*

*(5) TINUBU was first Governor to "Create 37 Local Govt. Council Development Areas (LCDAs)" to bring governance and development closer to the grassroots.*

*(6) TINUBU was first to offer Free Education and to appoint Pupils who Excelled Academically as acting Governor of Lagos State to encourage youth productivity in Education.*

*(7) TINUBU was first Detribalized Executive to engage Nigerians from other states to work (shop) with Lagos state government to promote unity.*

*(cool TINUBU was first to go every length, legally possible to reclaim SouthWest states (and beyond) Governorship election stolen mandates as attested to by VP Osinbajo.*

*(9) TINUBU was first Governor who governed his state for years without federal allocation (FAAC) as OBJ government wickedly withheld Lagos state N4.8 billion allocations.*

*(10) TINUBU was first to bring Telecommunications (Econet) to Nigeria for easy communication and business.*

*(11) TINUBU fought for Enthronement of Democratic order in Nigeria and associated benefits of democracy we enjoys today.*

*(12) TINUBU is full of Vision, great Ideas, Policies, Strategies, Plans and unusual Wisdom.*

*(13) TINUBU is that Detribalized Nigerian who on different occasions supported these Fulani men : ATIKU, RIBADU and BUHARI...all for the Presidency.*

*(14) TINUBU is a Religion Tolerant Leader, a devoted Muslim husband of a devoted Christian wife.*

*(15) TINUBU carved out a Blueprint for Lagos State and brought the Lagos State from the most dirty and unstructured state to a "MegaCity, Smart City and now GREATER Lagos"; the most institutionalized State in West Africa.*

*16) TINUBU started the Governor's Forum with the first two meetings held in Lagos.*

*17) TINUBU is the only candidate with Propounded Ideologies including "Counter-cyclical Fiscal Policy" & "Democratic Arithmetic" etc.*

*18. Tinubu was the first executive Governor who sponsored a candidate for president and won.*

*19. Tinubu is the first Governor who has sponsored and championed the winning of more than five state governors in Nigeria both serving and past.*

*20. Tinubu is the first ever presidential candidate whose more than six Co- contenders for the same position stepped down for him on the day of primary election.*

*21. Tinubu is the first core Muslim who is religious tolerant married to a Christian wife who is currently a pastor.*

*Lastly,*
*22. TINUBU was the first/only political leader that has ever remembered the wife of Late Brigadier General Adekunle Fajuyi.*
*He came from Lagos to Ado-Ekiti in the year 2004/2005 and built a two wings duplex for the poor widow of Late Adekunle Fajuyi who has been living in the family house (old semi- dilapidated upstairs) since the death of her husband in 70s.*
*Accidentally, I was at Ado-Ekiti on that day and I saw the woman with tears of joy rolling down her face thanking and praying for TINUBU being the first person to do such a tangible assistance to her and her family.*

*23. Tinubu is the only old and Strong Politician from the Southwest who is politically competent to rule Nigeria at this trying time.*

*May Asiwaju Bola Ahmed TINUBU, the Jagaban of Lagos State and the CityBoy Succeed come 2023.*

*So, let the supporters of other candidates show me their mentor's or candidate's achievements so far for proper convinction and documentations. Ibatcares And Love You All.*

Exactly

All Christians and non-Muslims must join hands to reject this evil APC muslim muslim ticket.

Nigeria is a diverse country and anyone who wants to lead must respect her diversity.

Buhari's 8 years in power as seen islam dominate Nigeria leadership like never seen in Nigeria's history. This is not good for a diverse and secular nation where a particular faith dominates others.
People are now been advised to changed their religion to islam if not, you wont get leadership position or even government contract.

At a time in Buhari's regime, all service chiefs were muslims. The senate president is muslim, the speaker is muslim. The chief judge is muslim and the minister of justice muslim.

If you think this isnt a deliberate attempt at religious domination, then you are still asleep.

Reject APC's muslim muslim ticket, reject islamization

We yoruba Christians will never vote Tinubu on Muslim-Muslim ticket because we are not fools. When MURIC terrorists told Yoruba Muslims not to vote Yoruba Christians, they all agree. Since no yoruba muslim in Nigeria will ever vote Christian-Christian ticket, why should we christians now vote Mu-Mu ticket?

Christians are not minorities, slaves, or second class citizens in Nigeria. Mu-Mu ticket is a big insult to we Yoruba Christians and we shall punish Tinubu for that before Satan will also punish him. Woe unto any Christian who vote for Islamisation of Nigeria.
