This is puerile!

Political parties care about a winning combination.

As a northerner, I know something for sure;

If Tinubu chooses a xtian as his VP he stands not a BAT in hell's chance of becoming Nigeria's president.

So the northern Muslims who constitute the biggest voting bloc in Nigeria will siddon look the minorities whose combined voting power is nowhere near theirs to rule over them?

Only with a Muslim Muslim ticket does the Apc stands a chance, otherwise they should as well quit the race even before it started. Reason?

The muslims are the majority in the NW, NE, NC and SW(for SW do the math state by state). The only area where Christians predominate are SE and SS. In fact, if not for the magnanimity of Muslims in Nigeria, a xtian can never be Nigeria's president! Yes, you heard me right because the muslims are the majority in this country even according to the CIA factbook (Google it and see).

CAN should consider the religious tolerance level of each region before raising issues that can unnecessarily overheat the polity. Please they should just speak for theirselves. Besides this thing is a case by case thing o.

redcliff:
people shouting muslim christian or muslim muslim. Of what use is a VP if his religious views does not align with the president. Shebi na Osibanjo turn to vegetable for Aso rock there and them dey slaughter christians up and down for the country. Wetin guy man do?

tesppidd:
lol

I do not like it, that the next President should be another Muslim.


But listen son, Tinubu is your next President, you better begin to get used to it.

Aboki99:


What's realistic? Answer me. Are muslims not in the majority in the NW, NE, NC, SW?

babaolofin:


Let it shock everybody. Tinubu is from South West. In South West, our Political fathers did not practice a politics of religious sentiment. Our training is based on that as can be seen below.

1. Awolowo is a Christian, Akintola is a Christian.

2. In the second republic, Lateef Jakande is a Muslim, Rafiu Jafojo is a Muslim.

At Oyo, Bola Ige is Christian, Sunday Afolabi is a Christian.

At Ondo, Baba Ajasin - Christian, Omoboriowo - Christian.

I can name States in the middle belt and north with Christian - Christian and those with Muslim - Muslim tickets.

BACKGROUND.
The North (Arewa) before amalgamation and before Independence was predominantly a Muslim nation just like Niger, Chad, etc. That is why they use Sharia Penal Codes.

Abiola - Kingibe worked in 1993 just as Jakande - Jafojo worked in Lagos 1979 - 1983.

During the first and second republic, Awolowo, never considered religion . Voters in South West never considered religion. Shagari is from the North and he picked Ekwueme from the East. The choice was not because of religion. The Senate President, Speaker were Christians, they were not chosen based on religion.

You cannot create a situation whereby only Christian from the South can occupy the President or the Vice President office. The Muslim in South can never accept that. If Muslim - Muslim ticket is not feasible, then it means, only Christian from the South can occupy the President or the Vice President office. This is not possible and not in the constitution. It is left to the voters to determine their President.

As at 1983, in NPN, if Abiola had been allowed to contest, there was every probability he would have chosen a Muslim from the core North.

Making it mandatory that only Christian from the South can be a President or Vice President is not constitutional. That is what introduction of Religion as criterion for President or Vice President would create and that is why it can never be in Constitution.

Enough of emotions and wishful thinking, election will show you the reality.

They should leave Tinubu alone. Anybody from the North can be chosen irrespective of religion. They said only Yoruba would vote for him, they should forget analysis and wait till 2023. Jokers. If it would make Atiku to win easily, why should that be their headache? If all Christians in Africa would vote for Atiku, is that not good? Jokers. They want Amaechi or Osinbajo so that they can have a walkover 2023 general election. Now that failed, they are talking about Muslim - Muslim ticket.

I am a Christian, my best friends are Muslim.

Acidosis:




Northern Fulani? What's CAN's business with that?

Are you aware that some members of CAN are Fulanis? CAN has no business with tribal affiliations.

It is a CHRISTIAN religious body, not an ethnic NGO dude!

Stick to the topic and stop dragging CAN into your Fulani discussion. It is strictly a religious body and its stance applies to all parties.

tesppidd:
It is a simple question; "why did CAN not condemn PDP for giving Atiku their ticket, making it a potential 16 straight years of Muslim Presidency?"
why did CAN have to wait for Tinubu to energe before remembering that they have Christian rights to protect?

The queation is not so hard na!

Acidosis:


CAN rejects Muslim/Muslim Presidential ticket not Muslim Presidency.

Atiku and Tinubu are Muslims. The issue here is who becomes the vice president.


Why do you want CAN to reject a Muslim Presidency when OBJ and GEJ spent a combined 15 years in Aso rock? Compare that with Buhari and Yaradua's 10 years..

davodyguy:

This is hypocrisy.

Northerners are bigots

1. A woman can't lead
2. For A Christian who's also a northerner like them, it would be difficult for such person to lead.

Something is wrong with them.

No wonder Buhari could not support Amaechi, Umahi or PYO

Thinkam:
, Tinubu na coconut head, he no dey hear word.

He's the greatest politician in the universe, Greater than Buhari, Greater than Gej, Greater than Onu...

He will pick a Muslim and still win

Christians are minorities and docile, hence It's left to Muslims to take charge and do what they like to the country

tesppidd:
Lol

i am sure you are a Christian like me; see how you are lying and twisting facts.

Obasanjo and Jonathan spent 13 years in Aso Rock.
Yaradua and Buhari will spend 11 years in Aso Rock.

So CAN thinks it is okay for Atiku to follow with another 8 years after Buhari finishes


Something is wrong with you and CAN.

aumeehn:


Oh Ganduje didn't lost his Home base?
This shows that you are just a following Kano politics online. Do you know who Shekarau and Kwankwaso are in Kano Politics? I

I won't say much, why because you guys are deluded and think that Nigeria is just the SW.
Allah ya barmu da rai da Lafiya Ameen.

Still waiting to see how a Muslim Muslim ticket will fly. Hahahaha these guys thought that Northerners are just fools and religious bigots.

Northerners vote base on two reasons
Religion and Regionalism.

A Southern Muslim don't have the same Clout as a Northern Muslim
No Northerner will vote for a VP position while giving up a presidential position of a Muslim and also a Northerner.

The odds are against the Drug Baron!
This is 2023 not 1993 besides did Abiola smell Aso Rock? No! The Election was annuled.

Just waiting to see how a Muslim/Muslim candidates will present themselves to Northern states with lots of Christian, The likes of Plateau Nasarawa Niger Benue Taraba Adamawa. And also convince the predominantly Muslim NW to give up Presidency and Settle for VP.

The Northern Governor's just chop and clean mouth. Atiku will be declared winner before 2pm.

kollinz1234:
lol only in a fools head will Tinubu ever rule Nigeria. If you are willing, I am willing to place a #500k bet with you on my assertion

Acidosis:


We all know that Yaradua was barely in charge but that's by the way.

That 13 years of OBJ and GEJ you have here could have been 17 years, if GEJ had done enough to win his second term but that's by the way again.

You have to be objective and keep your emotions aside to understand CAN's view. CAN don't have the powers to decide who wins or losses any election, whether at the primary level or general elections.

The issue here is about having two Muslims as presidential and vice presidential candidates, especially for a ruling party.

If you're hoping to see CAN come out to tell you to vote Peter Obi or another Christian, then you will have to wait till the day of rapture.

You mean to say Pastor Osinbanjo had only 235 Christians that voted with emphasis on the mentioned state while only Muslims voted for Tinubu. I just gave you a practical example using a micro political exercise. The Primaries.

Yeah, so fairness and equity should not be brought in view because APC wants to win...well done

Bobloco:


There is no doubt that Muslims are in the majority in those regions you mentioned, what I can assure you is that with Atiku on the ballot, there is no reason for the Muslims in the north west and north east to vote for their candidate on a Vice President post when they can get the president through Atiku

So like I posted earlier, the APC is doomed with the Tinubu candidacy

Aboki99:


Why will a Muslim/Muslim ticket not work in Apc? Are xtians more than the muslims in the NW, NE, NC and SW? I concede they are in the SE and SS.
