The Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Senator George Akume [/b]has said the Muslim/Muslim presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC, should not constitute a barrier to the election of Senator Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shetima as president and vice president of the country in the coming general elections.

[b]He said the ticket remains the best for the country stressing that those on a mission to deceive Nigerians in order to deny them the benefit of voting the candidates do not mean well for the country.

The Minister who spoke during the official flag-off of the Benue State APC gubernatorial campaign in Gboko Local Government Area, LGA, likened the ticket to the Abiola/Kingibe ticket of 1993 that enjoyed the massive support of Nigerians.

He said “let nobody deceive you, forget about what they say about Muslim-Muslim. What is Muslim-Muslim, what Nigeria needs at this time is a team that can deliver and the Tinubu/Shetima combination is what we need at this time in the country.”

While drumming suppport for the gubernatorial candidates of the party in the state, Senator Akume urged the people to rally round the APC in the state to ensure its victory in the coming elections.

Addressing the gathering, the National Chairman of the APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu enjoined the leadership of the party in the state to work hard to dislodge the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from the state.

Represented by the APC National Vice Chairman, North Central, Alhaji Mu’azu Rijau, the National Chairman urged them to embark on mass mobilization across the state to ensure the victory of the party in the elections.

The Executive Secretary, Nigeria Shippers Council, Mr. Emmanuel Jime represented by the APC senatorial candidate for Benue North West District, Titus Zam, urged Benue people to vote Tinubu/Shettima for Presidency, Rev. Fr. Alia for Governor and all other APC candidates in the election.

The governorship candidate of the party, Rev. Hyacinth Alia, in his speech assured that if elected governor of the state he would improve the healthcare delivery, prioritize agricultural production, build cottage industries and ensure infrastructural development among others.

Earlier, the Director General Alia/Ode Campaign Organisation, Rev. Frederick Ikyaan, who also urged the people to rally round the APC in the state said, “this day heralds the conscious and vehement decision of Benue people to launch a leadership campaign that is purposeful and divinely prepared to meet the yearnings and aspirations of the teeming Benue masses.”

Aufbauh:
Is it not hypocritical that those who crave for a'New Nigeria' where place of origin, religion, region and other parochial considerations shouldn't decide ones fate are the same people emphasizing the Muslim-muslim

PrinceOfLagos:
We will not vote a Muslim Muslim ticket

We will not vote for a thief and mentally unstable man

There are more qualified candidates in the presidential which Peter Obi top the list .

APC mismanaged our economy for 8 years so reinforcing them means more calamity for the country .

MrALIVE:
Accept your party made a grave mistake and move..you will see the consequences on the 25th of February.

What consequences? Who told you that Christians won't vote for the APC ticket?

A lot of you are just kids who don't remember history.

Go and check the history of past elections in Nigeria from 1979 to 1993 and tell me how many were determined by religious considerations.

Zionmdde:

Sharrap there
What was the basis of choosing shetimma in the first place if not for religion
So Muslims will also accept Christian Christian ticket abi. Hypocrites
I was with some yoruba folks today even though I couldn't understand yoruba clearly from the little English they spoke they loathe tinubu and the mu mu ticket rubbish. Tinubu should be ready for yoruba Christians.
Any Christian who votes APC will need to check again if he is a Christian after all that is happening to Christians in kaduna

Wickedfact:


May God punish you if you ever support Tinubu.

The major factor of Tinubu's success is that you aren't supporting him.
Whoever you support must end up a loser.

Last week, you and that gala hawker supported Emefiele on Monday. By Friday of the same week, he was already a fugitive. Anything you touch must spoil.

Osibajo2023:
Tinubu is not interested In religion, hence he won't use ambode then sanwo olu both Christian consecutively

post=119948552:

Limited cash withdrawal has started, 31st of this month old notes will be history CBN insist this is what I care, not where Emefiele is, Tinubu has been sponsoring protect against him even yesterday which will not work

Naijagoodman:
So you have agreed that Tinubu imposes governors on Lagos as he wills. This is what sane people should not allow except Lagosians have given their senses to one man
