Niorte:

Just being analytical. I'm referring to the leadership of APC and not the person of Tinubu or Fashola.

Ambode is a Christian
Sanwo-Olu is a Muslim
Hamzat is a Muslim

Why should primary hold on a religious day. That is not fair to Ambode.

If the people reject Ambode, no problem but putting him at a disadvantage by the system is unfair.

There is always the law of diminishing return.

abes:


If 5th of October is on Friday, how did 6th of October become a Sunday?

I will advise you to go back to nursery 2 to learn the days of the week properly.

You're welcome.

Shukuakukobambi:


You don't know the definition of the word "petty"

Niorte:


Observe and read carefully, September 30 is Gubernatorial primaries. September 30 is on Sunday.

Niorte:
Christians need to be weary of this religious biased party called APC. I know some Christians may not share in this view but Lagos APC is religiously biased. The National Leader, Senator Tinubu who is a muslim was Governor of Lagos state for 8 years. Babatunde Raji Fashola, another Muslim governed Lagos for 8 Years. Now it is the turn of a Christian, they do not want Governor Akinwumi Ambode to complete his 8 years.

Christians have been inactive and naive in politics. To make matter worse, APC fixed Primaries on a Sunday when the Christians would be out for their religious services. I am very certain, the Muslim and MURIC would have cried out if such event was fixed for Friday.

This date was simply to prevent some Christians in the party to exercise their franchise and support governor Akinwumi Ambode. The date show lack of respect and sensitivity to the Christians day of worship. Il

Must we always have the Muslims rule Lagos? Even though Governor Akinwumi Ambode has not in anyway favour the Christians in his appointments. In fact, he made a blunder concerning the priest he sent out of government house. We, as Christians, must look beyond that.

If APC is not biased to the Christians, why should they fixed the primaries on a Sunday?

I still don't what know what's unusual about fixing an event on Sundays, elections were held on a Sunday before now.

Even the PDP Primary will hold on 30 September which is the same day/Sunday the OP kicking against.

Is it a crime if APC does it?

Niorte:


You admitted not seeing the September 30th date yet you went further to defend their choice. What happens to September 29th? Why can't they fixed the Presidential Primaries for Sunday. Fact is Nigeria is a very religious country and a party that mean good must put this into cognisance.

I hate it when people keep comparing APC to PDP.....PDP was voted out because their shortcomings.... Yet APC are plying same route and do not want to be condemned!



You have to be different to make a difference!

abes:


You are not making any sense.
Nobody is forcing you not to go church, it is your choice as a church goer. But you cannot force a non-religious organisation not to fix its events on any particular day of week.

Refrain from mixing religion and politics.

Niorte:

You are certainly naive to think politics can survive without religion. If I may ask, why the Muslim-Christian ticket? Why not Muslim-Muslim ticket or Christian-Christian ticket.

Nigerians are very sensitive to religion. This may not happen in other countries but here in Nigeria, it is evident. Why do politicians want to identify with Muslims celebrations and Christians gathering? It is to boost their political ambition.

Let APC field Muslim-Muslim ticket in Lagos and let's watch how it goes.

Beremx:
I disagree with you. I don't think the primaries has a religious undertone. The last politician that will be a religious bigot is Tinubu or even Fashola.


Ambode is gone! I hope he's compensated with a federal appointment

dyydxx:
I think the O.P is naively misled.

The last person that will be a bigot is neither Tinubu or Fashola whose wives are both christians. Besides this is Southwest where Muslims and Christians mix freely without prejudice or sense of fear. I'm a christian, my uncle is a muslim and we interact well and respect each others views.

whatever date was chosen by the NWC, infact it was recently moved to tell you that's not the initial date chosen, also it is set by the NWC which means from Abuja so it's in the overall interest of all participants.

We need to practice Unity and Tolerance in our views and stop this parochial tribal thinking that leads us nowhere

Niorte:
Good for the party for postponing it. Some sycophants of APC here are very unreasonable. I will not be surprised if the postponement has to do with the point I raised.

A pen is sharper than a sword! It is all about constructive criticism.

[s]Now that the primary has been shifted. I am satisfied. Let the best Aspirant win. For those who have been supporting the previous scheduled date of Sunday, I say shame on you. Now I know there are some reasonable and influential personalities on Nairaland.
