An All Muslim Ticket which excludes over 100 million Nigerian Christians is a far greater evil that merely calling a Pastor for endorsement or to assist with campaign

The major players in the world rejected tinubu calling his ticket a religious bigotry and instead of correcting their mistakes they want to make it look like Peter Obi is the religious bigot .
They obviously failed

Firstly, I m a Christian who's here to talk unbiased.
Politics is different from religion.
Tinubu choose Shettima, Obi should have chosen a stronger Christian to equalize that you don't have monopoly of religion. Maybe he should have tested his popularity. Instead of lamenting, Obi should work on choosing a formidable vice irrespective of religion or tribe instead of an unknown cry baby Datti.
All Obi supporters should become Obidients and grow sense of politics instead of crying victims. Tinubu started his campaign as far back as 2007. He has always backed candidates in the past that didn't win. From Atiku to Ribadu and until he aligned with Buhari. He consolidated on Buhari's win to win his own turn.
Let Obi or others consolidate on their loss.
All I m saying here are having more meanings now when some Obidióts have become Obidients by reslising the reality and calculations of politics. Never drag in religion hence they insult your pastors or alfas. Those pastors that brought Obi to their churches are probably regretting that they should have acted in more discreet manner. The jihadists saw that lacuna and used the opportunity to bash Christians. Whereas, there are many alfas that preached rubbish about Christianity and Obi. So it's about playing your games well.
Obi or any Christian candidate in future would learn.
I dislike wailing!

Tinubuderanged:
if you are a Christian tell where the name Christian was first pronounced and what is the meaning.
At Antioch, Christian meant Christ like.
Acts of Apostles 11:26. Barnabas was gisting with Paul. The people saw their acts similar to that of Jesus and called them Christ like.


Now what you asked me could have been answered by the most wicked jihadists or the most rude atheist cos the answers are there on Google. The same with any question from the Koran.
If you wanna know if I m a Christian, check my old posts. At least you ll see where I v defended the faith. The same with who's a Muslim, Traditionalist or Atheist.

Back to the issue, Christians need proper planning from the closet. Not the lousy ones you ll do that your opponents has seen where you ll land.
This is what Obi was guilty of. But since some Obidióts can't cope with identifying Obi's faults, we ll be neutral and wait for them to call when they are ready to play politics of no vendetta and tribalism. Cos all that's done in LP is like they really turned the party to Igbo version.
Anyone with counter statement should come and dispute it. The earlier the better Igbos see Yorubas as their partner in progress and not opponents the better. Obi should not make the mistakes of Azikiwe how he antagonized Awolowo. Igbos too should stop blaming Yorubas for their woes as if it's Yorubas that told Nzeogwu to start first coup, told Ojukwu to declare Biafra war or responsible for herdsmen killings etc.
If Igbos want presidency, it's so easy. They should align in truth with the Yorubas. Any signal of betrayal ll be detected and severed for life.

The answer is because religion is not important. Since religion is not important, why would he have to choose a Christian running mate??

So who is the religious bigot now?

Not sure how that makes him a bigot. He probably felt a Northen Muslim candidate would get him more votes so he went with that. That’s just the reality of politics in the North. He did what he felt he had to do. It was a gamble.

Just my opinion.

You are the one that amazed me with your reasoning.
You and others cry Muslim Muslim as if someone cursed toy not to use Christian Christian. Tinubu proved he's more calculative than all of you. Instead of blaming your brains for being politically daft, you are here screaming shut up as if I m your houseboy. You don't even know if I can employ you or feed you and your lineage.

I m throwing carrot to you again.

Work on alliance that's formidable. Stop wailing. Respect Tinubu's acumen and possibly learn from him.
Lastly, Tinubu didn't win with Muslim Muslim ticket but a combination of not just Muslims but Christian votes. The huge votes he got in southwest aren't Muslims alone. In fact, more were from Christians.
Obi too got votes from Muslims so what's the fuss?
You and other minions just wanna lament till 2031 and I ll be glad to see your tears online for relief!

The apc are the greatest hypocrites how can a party that killed thausands christains in its first 4yrs in power and now presented a mu mu ticket have the guts to accuse peter obi calling for religious war in nigeria? Buhari said far worse while campaigning when he boasted that he will implement sharia law all over nigeria if he wins.

Plan well in your closet. Strategize, align with regions. Igbos need southwest just like southwest needs Igbos.
Parading churches publicly is opening eyes of jihadists to propaganda points. I explained it earlier.
Lastly, even if it's politics of religion. There's no unity. Muslims voted Obi, Christians voted Tinubu. It's not as if one religion voted over the other.

The problem is that people like you are timid and naive.

What is wrong in Peter Obi asking Bishop Oyedepo to help him mobilize the support of Christian voters?

Did Tinubu not persuade the Sultan of Sikoto to endorse him when he visited Sokoto. He even told the Sultan that it will be an insult to Buhari if the Sultan fails to endorse him.

Is El- Rufai not an Islamic scholar ? Is he not actively involve in the politics of APC. Is Osibanjo not the Assistant General Overseer of RCCG. Is he not a stakeholder in APC.

If Peter Obi has been timid like you, he would not get more than 2 million votes in the last election. When your opponents decides to fight dirty , you reciprocate by also fighting dirty. That is the rule of politics.

Obi won this election and it will be proven in courts. Thats what we're focused on! A logical person would asked why the IREV was shutdown for only presidential results upload while NASS election that occured same time went smoothly.

The reason is so that collation will be manually done without ability to crosscheck bogus numbers with IREV. Currently on UREV, Obi won Rivers and Benue which would make Obi's state win 14 yet Tinubu was quickly declared before doctored results were partially uploaded.

Its this docility of so-called Christians that made Turkey and Egypt which were Christian countries initially now Islamic countries

Its either Tinubu is a religious bigot or the political heavyweight in APC are religious bigot.

Either of the two, one is true.

Since 2015 till now, have you seen the way Muslims have dominated Nigeria's political leadership. Even to the extent at a time, all service chiefs appointed by Buhari were Muslims only.

Infact as at that time, even chief justice was muslim, senate president muslim, speaker house of reps was muslim. Even the minister of justice and chief justice were Muslims.

Is this just a coincidence that this happened and fast forward to 2023, we are having a muslim muslim administration?

As for Turkey and Egypt Christians, it's the lacuna of infighting that ruined them.
I just addressed it. That's why Igbos shouldn't be fighting Yorubas cos they are both southerners, brothers. The main enemy is the north. If Tinubu's a northerner, I ll say Igbos are fighting northern dominance. But I was shocked when some of them said they preferred Atiku. So what kinda Christians or southerner are they?
Support Tinubu a southerner today to show maturity and Yorubas ll definitely support Igbos in future. Antagonizing Tinubu is antagonizing Yorubas or Southern presidency.
