By Gabriel Olawale & James Ogunnaike

THE Ogun Baptist Conference, yesterday, rejected the adoption of a Muslim-Muslim ticket by the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, describing it as a display of gross insensitivity to the complexity of Nigeria and the entire Church.



President of the Ogun Baptist Conference, Rev ‘Wale Oyeniyi, said this at a press conference to usher in the 45th Edition of Conference in Session to be held at First Baptist Church, ‘Laditan, Oja-Odan and hosted by Irepodun Oke-Yewa Baptist Association from 6th to 10th of August, 2022.

The conference, theme, ‘Christian Lifestyle: Attitude of Gratitude, will have over 500 Churches within Ogun State in 26 Baptist Associations in attendance.



Oyeniyi, while urging Christians in Nigeria not to vote for any religious – biased party, reminded them of the subtle political movement in Turkey and some Asian countries that subtly and successfully turned them into Muslim states today.

His words: “Those pushing for the Muslim-Muslim ticket don’t mean well for the country and the citizens. Those who say religion doesn’t matter are not saying the truth. In our current state in this country, religion matters so much because the last few years have witnessed heavy attacks on people of a particular religion. They include mass killings, kidnapping of clerics and other forms of attack. Religion matters a lot now.



“I make bold to submit that there are competent hands in the Christian fold who can be entrusted with top political posts and who will make a whole lot of difference in governance with an attendant positive impact on the lives of the citizens of this country.

“Nigeria is in a hyper state of polarization. The country boils with inter-ethnic distrust and inter-religious discord. Consequently, the populace irrespective of location or region has been on edge for some time, their living space being devastated by unchecked terrorist acts by extremist Islamist groups and run-away violence by herdsmen. The overt nepotism of the number one citizen of the country, President Muhammadu Buhari, has exacerbated feelings of sectional injustice and marginalization.



“The selection of a Muslim running mate by the APC is a display of gross insensitivity to the complexity of modern Nigeria and the entire Church.

“It is a betrayal of the advocacy for unity and peaceful co-existence with our Muslim brothers including notables Imams who had forewarned the party and the candidate from travelling that treacherous route. The Christian community is aggrieved about the emergence of a Muslim from Northern Nigeria as the running mate of APC’s presidential candidate.

“The move by the APC in choosing a Muslim is a slap on the face of Christian faith. Secondly, desperation and over-ambition is noticed in the whole process: ‘We just want power at all costs and we don’t care what others think or do; we can win the elections without you, especially by other means other than by open ballot.

“No region can boast of winning the election without the support from other regions; also, no party should think that an election could be won by relying on the support of one religion in Nigeria.

“Furthermore, the APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket is an indication of a hidden agenda. The APC has always come under the suspicion of the Church as pursuing an Islamisation agenda.

“The insinuation that Muslim-Muslim ticket thrived in 1993 and that the same can be considered now may be tenable if the country has not been so divided in line of ethnicity and religion as we have it today. The spirit of Hope 93 died with MKO and those who betrayed him and his mandate.”

Religion shouldn’t be a factor in moving Nigeria forward- Lawyers

But countering the Ogun Baptist Convention, lawyers under the umbrella of Lawyers Network for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, LANBAT, yesterday urged Nigerians not to place more emphasis on religion when issues of moving the country forward.

Speaking during the awareness and sensitization walk in Lagos, the lawyers, who spoke through their leader, Mr Dotun Ajulo said that religion has never had anything to do with Nigeria since its inception.

Ajulo said religion has been politicised, noting that the country would not have remained the same if the tenets of both religions have been strictly followed.

He recalled that it was the former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu that restored formerly withheld missionary schools by the military administration.

His words: “Regarding the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC, Religion has never had anything to do in Nigeria. Anything about religion has been politics.

“We will not take you through the constitutional provisions about religion considering the secularity of Nigerians.

“If the Christians and Muslims have remained within the tenets of the scripture, the country will not be where it is today. The military administration withheld the missionary schools for Ansar’u deen but Tinubu came and restored

MUSLIM-MUSLIM TICKET IS DEAD ON ARRIVAL. COUNT YORUBA CHRISTIANS OUT, WE CAN NEVER BE PART OF SUCH SATANIC/UNGODLY ARRANGEMENTS



I Cynthia Sunmisola Jegede personally pushed for southern Presidency both online and offline, Osibanjo to be precise.. ( You can check my previous thread for confirmation), but it didn't work the way we thought because our preferd aspirant was maligned, disgraced and rigged out of the the race..

As it stands now many of us have shifted our support to another sound and better candidate which is Peter Obi who's a fellow southerner like we have been yearning for ages for a southerner to emerge in 2023....


Why we can't support BAT is because of his antecedents and he's not really sellable even his supporters knw that .. Everything about him is under scrutiny..
1, His Age... Nobody knows Tinubu's real age.. Only him knows .

2,His Origin... We don't know where he came from or his parent's unlike other popular politicians..

3,. Muslim-muslim ticket.. This is the height of it all.. If Tinubu succeeds with such ticket ( (God forbids) trust me islamic ortherners would be the ones that would benefit more from it in the future... Such unwelcomed record should never be allowed to be broken in a country where Christians and Muslims are virtually the same percent...

Yoruba lagba !!!!!

G

Every sane human would reject that

They want to subtly subjugate and islamize others using the reverse psychology doctrine of taqqiya deception while masquerading it as "competence" So only headslammers are the most competent in a supposed multi-religious and non-secular country?

Meanwhile the same government have given this nation the worst incompetent ethno-religious supremacist govt filled with terrorists and their sympathizers. No sane person should fall for this evil. The unborn generation will never forgive us.

Hnnnnm

Many of us Christian/Progressive yorubas saw their deception at initial stage that's why MURIC was threatening Yoruba Christians ..

Hear me loud.... A Muslim can't succeed a fellow Muslim let alone running a Muslim Muslim ticket.. Never!!!



On Southern Christian Presidency many of us Progressive/Christian Yorubas stand..Christians are not second class citizens in Nigeria

The evil muslim-muslim insensitive ticket must not see the light of day... Every sane Nigerian should reject the devilish ticket.
APC has failed humanity and God
Tinubu has failed God and humanity

This just the beginning


#on tinubu manhood i stand with my pvc on hand to vote for peter obi

@Diadem10

Oya comma lecture this Southwest Christians and tell them there is no religious politics in Southwest

The only main supporters of Tinubu in 2023 will be Islamic terrorists groups like. ISWAP, Boko Haram, ISIS, Northern Terrorist Bandits.
He better make peace with his gangs

Southwest Christians should come out enmasse and vote, and make sure Tinubu loses the region to Peter Obi. That's the best way to teach him and other closet bigots that Christians anywhere can't be taken for granted.

If this happens no one again in the history of the country will ever think of Muslim Muslim or christian christian ticket.

Well said!

We have always supported our South West Christian Brothers but the Muslims will always find a way to make it seems like religion doesn't matter just the way Muslims deceived us here during election but after election they will start killing us again.

Tinubu will clear the whole south west, you think yorubas are religion bigot like IPOB and NORTHERNERS

I have seen many yoruba pastors in island telling their congregations to vote for YORUBA man in coming Presidential election. IPOB wants to divide Yorubas will religion. Mumu people

Yoruba lokan and Tinubu is the man

The good people of Nigeria reject tinubu Muslim Muslim ticket.
The evil people of Nigeria accept tinubu Muslim Muslim ticket

Jagabanofafrica:

You must not vote Obi. You can choose to vote Atiku to not offset the purported balance. We can't destroy the gentleman agreement on zoning an religious sensitivity.

If we permit this now! In no time, Fulanis will see Muslim Muslim ticket as a habit and in shorter time, they will be clamouring for Northern Northern ticket and heaven will not fall. Those people just want to expand and conquer.

This is my stand. No one is happy when his right is given to another. Only a fool rejoice at such robbery.

Lol. Ogun baptist conference suddenly turned SW conference by the OP.

Mynd44 check the body of the post, it was just a group within Ogun Baptist that spoke and the OP changed the topic to SW Christian conference.

The OP should be banned for fake news.

By the way, even within the church itself, 90% of them won’t listen to this called conference because in Yorubaland, we are one.

On Election Day, Obituary people will understand why it is called Yoruba.

The conference, theme, ‘Christian Lifestyle: Attitude of Gratitude, will have over 500 Churches within Ogun State in 26 Baptist Associations in attendance.

I made it clear that I was talking to Southwest Christians, not Yoruba Muslim miscreants which you are one of them.
