The immediate past president of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has argued that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)’s same-faith ticket would eventually lead to a lapse in the representation of Nigeria’s religious diversity.

Jonathan said this in an interview published in a book, ‘My Time As Chaplain In Aso Rock,” presented to the public on Tuesday, December 6, The Punch reported.


Former President Jonathan says Muslim-Muslim ticket will cause a lapse in the representation of Nigeria's religious diversity.

I am worried about issues of Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket, says Jonathan

Jonathan recalls that the tradition when he was in power was that if the president was a Christian, the vice president would be a Muslim and vice versa

He said:

“When I took over as the vice president, the tradition then was that if the President were a Christian, the Vice would be a Muslim and vice versa.
"We have religious festivals in Nigeria and, of course, National Day, where there will be Jummah prayers and Christian prayers.

“Nigerians are religious people, this is why I get worried about the issues of Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket. Yes, Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian can run the state. But I always ask, ‘who will represent this other bloc whenever we come to the national days that we celebrate?”

Since unveiling Kashim Shettima, a fellow Muslim, as his running mate, the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has been making frantic efforts to convince the Christian community that he didn't make the choice out of religious consideration

Even with Christian Vice, Christians are being terribly molested. And everything is almost upside down.
Imagine the evil and satanic agenda of same faith ticket!
Ordinarily, no right thinking Nigerians should contemplate voting APC to power again, not to talk of the insensitive, greedy, deceptive, ill-conceived, and dangerous Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Buhari said when some people want him to support politics that will give Muslims an edge, he was quick to remind them that, "Our Vice President is here, how did you think he will feels?"
That's to show you the power of equal representation!
