An Islamic preacher from northern Nigeria has warned against pairing the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu with a Christian from the northern region as his running mate ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The preacher and some others like him have threatened to mobilise Muslims to reject Tinubu and the APC during the forthcoming presidential election.
In a viral video, Sheikh Ibrahim Aliyu Kaduna accused northern governors of trading the destiny of northern Muslims for a sick candidate's money.

He said, "Northern governors, especially Muslims amongst you are treacherous because you've sold our destiny; and God will punish you for that.

"You set aside a critical Islamic requirement because the first criterion for choosing a leader in Islam is that the person must be healthy and physically fit.”

"Now your second error will be to pair him (Tinubu) with a Christian from our region. This will be disastrous because we would mobilise the people to reject the ticket at the polling units," he added.

Similarly, after congratulating Tinubu for emerging as the APC presidential candidate, a radical Muslim who identified himself as Aminu Jetaun, cautioned him against considering a northern Christian as his running mate.

He said, "You, Tinubu, make no mistake about this; do not pick a Christian as your running mate because we've yet to completely trust your own version of Islam."

The issue has been a major subject of discourse since the election of Tinubu as the APC presidential candidate. It has dominated sermons in many mosques in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.

Our correspondent observed that some clerics have been urging their congregants and indeed Muslim faithful to reject the APC if Tinubu is paired with a Christian from the region.

This comes as Christian leaders in the region are mobilising against a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.

SaharaReporters earlier reported on Tuesday that the ruling APC may force a Muslim-Muslim ticket on Nigerians as Tinubu’s camp narrows down to Kashim Shettima, a former governor of Borno, to be his running mate.

Asiwaju of Nigeria slayer of Meth cannibals. Please advise children of hate not to hate on a man that God favors

Asiwaju makers of men . This man is just showing up everywhere you go.

Any nonentity that speaks against Tinubu suddenly gets media attention

It has gotten so bad for them that they now seek comments on Facebook and Twitter to further sell their empty propaganda

Ironically I have seen Professor Yemi Osinbajo and Peter Obi's supporters argue and threatening about Tinubu's choice of running mate

Why not direct your venom to the Islamic cleric? What's your problem with God's chosen generation? Do you want the ten plagues of Egypt to visit your household?

It is either Tinubu is not Islamic enough to represent northern muslims or a Northern Christian is not extremely northernized to represent the north.

Wahala dey o!

Asiwaju oko Remi , on your mandate forever. We will never stop supporting our leader

I can't even Imagine the confusion going round Tinubu's camp, while CAN is threatening from Left, Imans are threatening from right...!! I can only wish him good luck in his quest

One North when it favours them...
But they remember Christian North when they're not in charge. Hmmm

Jagaban of Borgu is the only answer and the right person to solve Nigeria's numerous problems.

This is the root cause of the problem. Tinubu is a very liberal Muslim, and the North doesn't want a Christian as they feel their core interests will not be represented.

Having found out the old man have few supporters, they have resorted to creating many monikers. Isn't that a sign of failure?

Jagaban , children of hate and perdition will soon start gnashing their teeth now.

Baba Tinubu will be the president no matter what.

Asiwaju oko Remi

Northern Muslims and some Yoruba muslims are big time problem honestly...

Wish we can divide this country ...

God bless southsouth and southwest.

The Islamic Preachers didn't mention Ndi Igbo in their sermons yet some terribly tribalistic individuals here have somehow managed to turn the discussion against Ndi Igbo. We are watching and waiting

Jagaban, the slayer of mpukumiri addicts slayer of Meth cannibals. The only governor that consistently challenged the federal powers in his era as governor. The man who took the FG to court and made sure he created LCDAs to make government closer to people which is what many states copied now. A forward thinker
