The All Progressives Congress, Kogi State chapter, has tasked supporters to look beyond religious and ethnic considerations in electing the party’s flagbearer, Bola Tinubu, and his running mate, Kashim Shettima.
Tinubu has presented Shettima, a fellow Muslim, as his running mate in the 2023 presidential election.
The Chairman, Kogi state chapter of the APC, Abdullahi Bello, in a telephone conversation with our
correspondent in Lokoja, Kogi State, threw his weight behind the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the party.
He described it as an indication that the political system has risen above religious and ethnic sentiments.
Bello said, “I don’t see anything wrong in Asiwaju’s choice of Shettima as his running mate. At best, the development is only history repeating itself as there
have been similar scenario in 1993 when Chief MKO Abiola ran on a joint ticket with fellow Muslim,
Babagana Kingibe.
“It’s on record that the best election ever conducted in the history of this country was a Muslim-Muslim ticket. There is nothing special about the present
situation. Rather,it shows that our democracy is evolving and is fast rising above religious and ethnic
considerations.
He called on electorates to put religious consideration behind and vote for competency for the betterment of the country.
“We should not focus on religion or ethnic background of Tinubu and Shettima but their pedigrees as undisputable achievers in their respective rights.
“Tinubu more than any politician has built human capacity and should be given the chance to repeat such feat at the national level,” Bello said.
He added, “No one has been able to fault Tinubu and Shetima as achievers of note and experienced
politicians who had both touched lives in various ways when they were governors of their state
adding that they will do the same when given the chance.”
Also speaking, ex-lawmaker Duro Meseko, in an interview with our correspondent said that no one
can say that Tnubu is a religious fanatic,he has been attending Church programs. His wife of several years is a Christian and even a senior pastor in Redeemed
Christian Church.”He had not forced his religion on any member of his family.
Meseko,a one time governorship aspirant in Kogi state said that Nigerian should should not consider
religious background of the two individuals, rather Nigerians should consider what they have done in
their respective stated when they were there as governors.

I wonder what Tinubu was thinking when his contesting for primaries?
8years of Buhari as a Muslim
8years of Tinubu as a Muslim
Then 2031 power to north another Muslim that will total 24years of Muslim presidents on the go!!!

The hypocrite

APC is Evil. I believe that in the hierarchy of evil. Satan is number 1 and APC party is number 2.

Of cause he is a Muslim.
What if roles were reversed.
every youth is called upon to register and get their PVCs and mobilize peers to be ready to come out en mass to vote against divisive combinations of the demonic APC party, to enthrone a government which unites the country and restore s peaceful coexistence.

God Punish that fool! Why didn't they look beyond sentiments before giving us the duo of drug dealer and terrorist sponsor?

Same ethno-religious supremacist sentiments that was the disastrous hallmark of the catastrophic Buhari’s govt that Tinubu pledged tp continue?

Why is it that these people always wants to use the taqqiya logic when are longing to implement their satanic agenda?

Look beyond emilokon and party ambition and do the right thing as always seen since 1999.
Only dishonest people will support such agendas that do not potray fairness, unity, equity and inclusiveness as enshrined in the constitution
We are a country with diversities and so we must always try and sort for ways to draw us closer not further steer up disunity, mistrust and mistrust amongst ourselves.
Apc does not care about you and I all that matters to them is Power.
