In preventing same faith ticket of either Muslim- Muslim or Christian – Christian for President and Vice President of Nigeria by any political party after the 2023 general election, the Senate is seeking amendment to section 84 of the 2022 Electoral Act.

Move in this direction was made by Senator Smart Adeyemi ( APC Kogi West) on Sunday by showing a draft copy of a bill to that effect to journalists covering the Senate.

Adeyemi at the press briefing said the controversy Muslim – Muslim Presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress ( APC ) , generating in the polity, necessitated the move.

According to him , to prevent future occurrence , a new sub – section is being proposed to section 84 of the 2022 Electoral Act.

“Section 84 of the Principal Act will be amended by inserting a new subsection 3 which will states thus “No political party shall nominate candidates of the same religion as Presidential candidate and Vice Presidential candidate after the 2023 election.

“When this is accommodated, it will serve as a guide against any oversight such as this in the future as further occurrences will be deemed as silent policy which is capable of bringing down the fabrics of the Nation,” he said.

He added that wide range consultations on the need for the amendment , have been made with the leadership of the Senate and other colleagues.

He however, said though apprehensions raised by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) over same faith Presidential ticket were genuine but the broadmindedness and pedigree of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shetimma, would allay all fears being raised.

Tinubu and Shettima, he added, should be assessed based on their pedigrees and not their religious faith or even political party.

“Nigerians should look at the individuals candidates contesting for the presidency in 2023 and not the political parties they belong to or religion they practice.

“Based on my conviction , despite the same faith ticket , Tinubu and Shetimma are the best for the country come 2023.

“They have demonstrated required capacities , competence and commitment while in office as Executive Governors of Lagos and Borno State separately.

“Asiwaju Tinubu in particular, demonstrated his pan Nigerian disposition with his cabinet composition devoid of tribal or religious sentiments.

“He and Shetimma are in actual fact, Nigeria candidate that should be voted for,” he said.

He lampooned the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, for violating the zoning policy of his political party by declaring it is the turn of the South, to produce next President.

He also took a swipe at the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party for believing in street show which cannot in anyway be used to win election .

“His Excellency , Peter Obi ought not to have left PDP as required structure for Presidential election .

“Street show or one million man match being displayed by Peter Obi supporters cannot win Presidential election,” he said.

Obi is healthy,he have given many ideas on how to fix Economy..

I hope u haven't been watching Tinubu speech's on TV to recruit 50 million youths and feed them with agbado and cassava morning and night..
Somebody that can out to say how did dollar rate affect the common man.. if that man enters $1 will be N2000.
Tinubu will spend %90 of his stay in Aso Rock at European hospital.
Somebody that can't even con-trol his urine or hold flag as APC flag bearer.. how would he control and hold a big country like nigeria.

Tinubu APC is the worst party Regime in Nigeria history.

This man wetin come bring Peter obi matter come here.

We'll get it right come 2023.

So Shettima should serve just one term if, God forbid, BAT wins?

Orisirisi.

According to him, the satanic combo is not a problem based on competence is good but the NASS wants to legislate against it in the future because it is anti-constitutional. See the warped reasoning?

There would be no need for that. The failure of agbado Merchant will be well documented in history to serve as a deterrent to desperate politicians who wouldn't appreciate our religious diversity.

Okay, after Tinubu's emergence? No problem


Meanwhile, If this bill will see the light of the day then all South Eastern, South Southern, North Western, Ekiti and ondo State should get ready for change.


IT MUST AFFECT STATES

Humanity and God has forbidden the Devilish Muslim-muslim ticket.

The people have already rejected the apc same faith ticket.
only paid urchins and sycophants are doing so .

The law is specific on "presidential candidates".

Abi you will manufacture Muslims in Anambra or manufacture Christians in Zamfara.

Meanwhile Tinubu is going nowhere with his leaky nyash.

VERY WRONG ABSOLUTELY.

IT'S PERPETUATING IMMORALITY.

TINUBU OR SHETTIMA SHOULD CHANGE RELIGION.

SAME FAITH TICKET IS ARROGANT, UNDEMOCRATIC AND ACTUALLY SILLY.
OUR YORUBAS ARE NOT POSSESSED.

The bill won't suffice then, it'll be killed.


Meanwhile, get ready for Tinubu's Presidency

did you hear where it said the fabric of the nation referring to federal level

You would see how the north would queue behind this bill

To tell you they have ditched tinubu because na only Yoruba Muslim the bill is bound to affect

Too little, too late, IMHO

PresidObi:
The people have moved against the ticket already.

We say no to any attempt to divide Nigeria on religious lines.

We must vote for fairness and equity,

Vote for Peter Obi.

So, if there will be no division across religious lines, the Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket should be encouraged

Meanwhile Tinubu is going nowhere with his leaky nyash.

Just two hours into the election, you all will start crying blood because the direction of voting will show you that Tinubu is far ahead of other clowns.

Yoruba Muslim matter go kill you oooo. Emilokan Tinubu already humiliated fake Pastor Judas Osinbajo, fake Pastor Tunde Bakare, Betrayer Rotimi Amaechi and other Church goers, even if you field G.O. Adeboye and Bishop Oyedepo as joint VP to Atikulation Abubakar or as campaign managers for Peter Giringori Pandora Obituary, Emilokan Tinubu the Jagaban Borgu will humiliate them all, that is because only God chooses leaders, and HE has chosen the Jagaban Borgu City Boy

Or better still allow your tears to dry first

Good one from the Nigeria Senate

If this law is not applicable to the states and local governments then it is a shitty law,and also it must also state it clearly that atheist, traditional worshipers,hare Krishna,sat guru Maharaji e.t.c must also be appointed into every government.i nor dey like partial at all at all,every Nigerian citizen must have equal rights.
