Osita Okechukwu, the Director-General of Voice of Nigeria, VON, has described the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima as moderate Muslims.

Okechukwu said Tinubu and his running mate are moderate and not ultra Muslims.

He stated that the choice of Shettima as Tinubu’s running mate was a good pick.

In a statement he signed, the VON boss described Tinubu and Shettima as an “excellent ticket.”

He stated that the choice of Shettima as Tinubu’s running mate was a good pick.

In a statement he signed, the VON boss described Tinubu and Shettima as an “excellent ticket.”

He noted that Shettima performed well while he was the governor of Borno State, and would replicate such under Tinubu in 2023.

The statement reads partly: “On the choice of Distinguished Sen. Kashim Shettima as Vice Presidential Candidate, I think it is an excellent joint ticket.

“An excellent joint ticket because Shettima is a transparent man of action and capable as Asiwaju pointed out.

“On the issue of Muslim-Muslim ticket, as a Christian one would have preferred Muslim-Christian ticket; however, there was the likely input of Northern Governors who are staunch supporters of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“The good news is that both are moderate Muslims, not ultra Muslims.”

The APC presidential candidate had unveiled Shettima as his running mate after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday in Daura, Katsina State.

Against popular opinions by Nigerians, Tinubu opted for a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Tinubu is winning ...

Can you see,

Many Nigerians are coming out to support him.

What a winning strategy..>

A man who's desperate to be president and is prepared to do anything for it.

SMH

Lol.... So we now have
- Mild,
- Moderate
- severe Muslims.

See my brothers and sisters, nothing pass a credible candidate.
From one issue to another. Do not be deceived, even Osita wife and children will not vote APC.

There are only two party in this presidential election.... PDP and Labour.

Even fools grow old! Not all elderly men in a society can advice appropriately because some were foolish while they were young.
This Okechukwu is one confuse man that presently lacks common sense.
Out fault lines must be respected so as to enjoy peaceful coexistence.

Time will tell, they should continue fooling themselves

Moderate Muslim....They all have a part to play when it comes to further islam

They are the to first to arrive to pave way for the extremists
They the one with the slogan Islam is a piss full religion .

No moderate Christian is good enough in the North? Northern Christians must send a clear message in this election or we leave them to their fate.

He could have just said they are fake Muslims, make we see whether dem no go lynch you for blasphemy.

Anything these useless politicians insult or dare other tribes and religion with their actions, they send an even more useless individual from the insulted side to defend their nonsense

Once upon a time ipob were angry that Tinubu would not join them to profile Fulani and attack northerners baselessly. They have been insulting him since that time, they said it's because he wants to become president he did not join igboho to shout Yoruba nation.

That's why it's easy for north to be head over hills for Tinubu because they know they can trust him and the whole of Yoruba race is solidly behind him. The ipob hateful and boastful nature have made Peter obi a hard to sell project. We told them then like we are telling them now but yet they are not learning... To win election you need the people's trust, in a country of many tribe and religion you need manners. But ipob were and are behaving like marlians with no manners.

See how they are insulting an elderly man for making harmless comment about a candidate that could be his old time friend. You are either on their side or you are a saboteur.... Where's the democracy in that?

Who go save the igbo race dem never born am..

What nonsense is 'moderate Muslim'? They are Muslims and don't give them another name.

Osibanjo is a pastor. I didn't see you tag him an extremist Christian. Why do you choose this title when a Muslim is involved?

Moderate muslims denying activities of extremists, and seeking amnesty for them.

Tinubu- where are the cows?

Shettima- Amnesty for Bokoharam.

My advice to PDP is that they should not criticise or say anything about Muslim - Muslim tickets of APC, PDP should do their normal campaign and let Nigerians decide their fate themselves in 2023.

The only person that has shown serious desperation mire than Atiku (the most desperate) in this contest is Peter Obi.

He betrayed APGA, PDP and Atiku out of desperation. He’s a shameless and desperate manipulator who will never smell Aso-Rock.

This man need rain reset
His brain has plenty viruses

Who's this one mbok?

Whats a moderate Muslim?

There's nothing like a moderate Muslim

I have never seen nor known a moderate Muslim all my life. There are all the same.

Shettima is not a moderate muslim, he is an extremist and a boko harman godfather., more reason why Daniel Bawa a Borno man resined from APC..
Tinibu should have picked the likes of Zulum, Buba Marwa, Nuhu Ribadu.... These are moderate muslims and are all from NE..
