Isn't funny how those who are clamoring for competency to be the only criteria for leadership, will still turn around to scream blue murder at the religious background of presidential/vice candidates


So do we want competency or we want religious representation? Because if it's religion, I've never seen the ogun/olokun worshippers or eckankar clamoring for being shortchanged.


This election is going to be interesting.

A major character of a good leader is his ability to ensure adequate inclusiveness in his government. If a man overlooks inclusiveness at the expense of ambition such men can't be trusted with power no matter how competent he is... We want a competent leader not just someone that is competent.... Even a religious bigot can have economic skills to lead Nigeria to El dorado, however we do not want that person. What we desire is a competent leader

So what now happens to the below report since Nigeria is not a Muslim country

*IMPORTANT FACTS EVERY NIGERIAN MUST KNOW AHEAD OF 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS*

*1. Are you aware that there is only one Muslim governor in the whole southern Nigeria, Gov. Oyetola of Osun out of 17 states?*

*2. Are you equally aware that there are only three Muslim Deputy Govs. in the whole of southern Nigeria?*

*3. In the North, there are four Christian Governors out of 19 states.*

*4. Eight Christian deputy Governors out of 19 states.*

*5. Are you aware there are 20 Christian Governors and only 16 Muslim Governors in Nigeria?*

*6. Do you know that there are 23 Christian Deputy Governors and 13 Muslim Deputy Governors in Nigeria?*

*Despite this, 'CAN' is still shouting Islamization agenda. On the contrary, Muslims are not shouting Christianization agenda of the South because Muslims will not heat up the polity or disturb the relative but fragile peace Nigerians are enjoying.*

*PLEASE � LET THIS FACT GET ACROSS EVERY CITIZEN OF NIGERIA HOME � AND ABROAD*

Because most southern states especially the South south and southeast are 90% christian.. however while the north has a significant amount of christians especially in the north central. All SW states has both religion represented.

However on the federal level, only the vp is a christian in the top positions in all the arms of government and Now they want to take that away but they want us to shout hallelujah... Haba

Like I said before, BAT has no choice but to choose a Northern Muslim, because

1. Buhari's voting bloc won't support him otherwise.

2.He needs Northeastern votes to beat Atiku in his backyard.

3.He thinks that christians may vote for him...largely because he is a Southerner.

But this isn't 1993...when Abiola got away with choosing Kingibe. Then the NRC was viewed as a Northern party, even with Tofa choosing Ugoh as his running mate, the Labour unions backed SDP, and CAN too backed SDP....

Now the unions are in a deep divide. CAN is split up between LP and PDP, and a lot of blood has passed under the bridge, there is a lot of bitterness and anger towards Muslims from christians and vice versa (in 1993, it was there, but both sides wanted the Army out anyways, so the hatchet was buried temporarily...unitl the results showed that NRC was losing..then old hateds came up)plus a lot of christians have suffered economically and security wise under APC. I don't see Tinubu winning this election now.

Honestly, it is looking likely that Atiku would win, and then Obi would be second, and Tinubu a close third. Whehter it goes to a runoff is to be seen.

This is actually the best case scenario

ArewaNorth:
Nobody will force you to vote for APC under multiparty democracy but you also need to take responsibility of the future consequences of advocating for a Christian candidature. I'm very much upbeat that no matter how hard you'll campaign for Obi he won't even come 2nd in the forth coming election. APC will definitely win next election!
Power, competence and money will pave way for APC in irrespective of the winning margin!

You probably don't get yet...
Nigeria is extremely religious. Especially when a case of "islamization" of the country is concerned. BAT should have looked at the north central knowing fully well that kwakwanso and Atiku would divide his vote in the far north... I don't think peter obi has a chance except he works extremely hard instead of just replying political irrelevant people however if atiku can weather the PDP storm. The north would always prefer their own to any other person.. Ask wike

Bat has been finding competent complements for various religions in Lagos leadership for years... E reach presidency he is saying we must go beyond religion

Why didn't he go beyond tribe and choose a competent southerner as VP?? If when talking about tribe inclusiveness is key, what makes religion different??

another1:
Hmm
Tinubu get mind shall.
Let's see how it will go.
And now religion does not matter but competence. Same people crying for power should return to South.
Me and my entire Christian family will never never vote a Muslim Muslim ticket.

I swear

What he was saying is that you can use weapons that are not illegal to defend yourself.. he was speaking in proverbs ( he ended with the proverb, a word is enough for the wise)
