. But the truth of the Muslim Muslim ticket is not applicable to the Christian Christian ticket on Igboland ba. Does this not expose the hypocrisy of a particular deluded tribe in same Nigeria ?!

ArewaNorth:
They'll learn the lessons of their life. The silence of Muslims amidst APC ticket saga will be a big turn around. They surreptitiously hide behind a political party's decision to insult Islam, Muslims and call APC all sort of names which indirectly pointing to Islam.
History will be made, many surprises will emerge.

It is now crystal clear that Hon. Yakubu Dogara, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, now sees himself as a national political figure, who deserves to become the next Vice President of Nigeria, having become a bench warmer and a sitting duck idling away at the green chamber.

As Speaker, the self-absorbed Dogara worked hand-in-gloves with Senator Bukola Saraki, the then Senate President to derail the government of their party, no thanks to their vaulting and ill-motivated ambition.

It smacks of odious hypocrisy for Dogara, a beneficiary of political magnanimity and generosity of Northern Muslim leaders, now turning full circle to lead the campaign against his party's presidential ticket.

For the records, Dogara sabotaged the APC in the months leading to the 2019 general elections and it comes as little surprise that he is now embarking on another journey of self-destruct ahead the 2023 elections.

Put succinctly, Dogara failed in 2019. He and his co-travelers will fail again because Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima, working with other well-meaning Nigerians, who desire the greatness of this blessed country will prevail.

In case Dogara suffers from short memory, he should be reminded that he has always been a beneficiary of the goodness and large-heartedness of Muslims in his political trajectory.

In 2003, Muhammad Habib Aliyu (Tafidan Ningi) a Muslim and then a Minister of State gave Dogara his first political appointment as Special Assistant from being a classroom teacher.

Dogara also need to be reminded that another Muslim, Adamu Muazu, then the sitting Governor of Bauchi State, made it possible for him to be elected into the House of Representatives in 2007.

It is also on record that in 2015, Aminu Tambuwal, the incumbent governor of Sokoto State, also a Muslim, orchestrated how Dogara became the Speaker of the House of Representatives, much against the stance of the ruling party.

Dogara owes his political relevance and ascendancy to the benevolence of Nigerians from the North, who are Muslims. Isn't it bewildering that same man is now railing against the APC Muslim-Muslim ticket.

If Dogara's benefactors who are Muslims could put their religious differences aside to prop him up to the political height he has attained today, how then can the former Speaker, in good conscience, now make religion an issue to bicker over for his party ticket?

I challenge Dogara to come clean and tell Nigerians that his bitterness and bellicosity is not borne out of his genuine love for Christians, but rather because he was not considered the APC Vice Presidential candidate. This is all about his selfish interest dubiously couched in a garb of altruism. The discerning are not fooled one bit.

Yet you flock there in droves. The joke is on you and Peter Obi who lives in Tinubu's Lagos.

The joke is on you, clown.
One, Obi doesn't live in Lagos.

Two, both you and that Agbado criminal are both migrants to Lagos.

Three, the fact that he has been looting Lagos dry for decades does not mean that he owns the state.

seunmsg:
Dogara is simply blinded by foolish ambition. Here is a dude who can’t even win Bauchi state but want to be one the Vice Presidential candidate of APC. He should move back to PDP quickly and stop making useless noise all over the place.

Great2017:
Hypocrite calling others hypocrites.

From time immemorial, South-East and South-South have always fielded a Christian-Christian ticket like the Muslim-Muslim ticket in core muslim States like Sokoto, Zamfara and Katsina. That is the reality on ground.

Nigeria Presidency has always been a Muslim-Christian ticket and vice-versa. Because of greed and desperation, one man has decided to be insensitive to this religious inclination of our country.

It is better to call a spade a spade.

Mindlog:
Since 1999, the switch has been South producing the President (Christian) and the North the Vice-president (Muslim) to North producing the President (Muslim) and the South, the Vice-president (Christian).

Now after 8 years of PMB, APC thinks there is nothing wrong in presenting Tinubu and the North feels Tinubu is not even Muslim enough, reason they can't even support a Christian of Northern origin as his Vice-president candidate thus Shettima.

In igboland the reality of Christian-Christian tickets in gubernatorial elections is the reality of Muslim-Muslim ticket in Sokoto, Kano, Jigawa etc.

Can Christians clamour for Governorship or Deputy Governor in a state like Zamfara? Of the tribes of Nigeria, it is only the Yorubas that have the mix of both religion as it is common to see a Yoruba family gathering with a mix of Christian and Muslim relatives but in Igboland that is overwhelming Christians, it is very uncommon to have relatives who are Muslims just as it is very uncommon in the core North that is predominantly Muslims to have that mix.

Nigeria is a diverse Country and with the present security reality, it will be irrational for anyone to expect Christians and adherents of other religious leanings to feel comfortable with same faith ticket. Maybe when Nigeria finally breaks up because daily happenings is not indicating nationhood but cracks, each region can be at liberty to choose what they want without having to explain to anybody.

Vulturereloaded:
Has muslim contested? We are talking about influence and dominance of religion in regions.

Muslims could be lese than 1% in the SE and SS region. So its normal.

In the North muslims could be 60%.

In the SW muslims could me 60%.

But in Nigeria as a country, christians could be 60%.

So presidency should accomodate both religions.
