Members of the Muslim community in Ondo state have kicked against any form of marginalistion from any of the political parties in the state.
The Muslim community wants the major political parties in the state to ensure that their deputy governorship candidates are members of the community.

They noted that the community would mobilise members to vote for a political party that embraces Christian/Muslim ticket.

Speaking with TVC news correspondent in Akure, some religious leaders, said the equation must be balanced to ensure equity.

They should know Ondo isn't like other states where you find Muslims everywhere. Their population in Ondo is less thank 5%.

It's a real shame that the average Nigerian seems to prefer meaningless identity politics to electing rulers who have concrete plans for improving things, and whose proposals can stand up to close scrutiny.

The day the US and other Western democracies stop their racial and working/educated class voting pattern.
To each society its own categorisation of its people.

Rubbish! Is that how Barack Obama got in the White House, or why London is now led by a Muslim with working-class Pakistani parents? You need to face facts:

Hillary Clinton is struggling to hold the Obama coalition together.

For the last few weeks, most of the attention has been on Clinton’s struggles with young voters. She’s currently polling significantly lower than Barack Obama did in 2008 and 2012 with voters under 30 and even lower than John “Mr. Windsurfing” Kerry in 2004. But young voters aren’t the only key demographic that Clinton is having difficulty reaching. According to Leslie Wimes, the president of the Florida-based Democratic African-American Women Caucus, the Clinton campaign “is in panic mode” over black voter turnout.
“They have a big problem because they thought Obama and Michelle saying, ‘Hey, go vote for Hillary’ would do it. But it’s not enough,” Wimes told Politico. “In the end, we don’t vote against somebody. We vote for somebody.” Clinton is polling in the low 80s with black voters in Florida. Trump is only at 5 percent (lol) but turnout, not voter share, is what’s keeping Clinton’s Florida team up at night.

Clinton’s strategy has largely been to make the case that Donald Trump is not fit for the presidency, rather than to explicitly argue why her policies make her the better choice. The Clinton campaign has been fixated on reaching college-educated white voters, who tend to lean Republican, because it expects to lose non-college-educated voters by a historic margin. There’s an O. Henry-ish dimension to Clinton’s strategy, though: By targeting one voting bloc—well-off Republicans—she’s turned off key cogs of the Obama coalition.

Panic or not, there aren’t really signs that Clinton is changing tactics, however. In the first debate, Clinton mostly stuck to her anti-Trump strategy. And, with 40 days until the election, she’s hoping that surrogates like Barack and Michelle Obama and Bernie Sanders can lift her with Obama coalition voters. Still, there’s no reason why Clinton can’t take an all-of-the-above approach in the final month of the campaign, arguing that Trump is a threat to democracy, relying on popular surrogates, and making the case for why she would be the best president for black Americans.

The people that cause the problem are yorubas, they can never vote anyone who is not yoruba. Check the last presidential election.

You are a bloody LIAR.
Why are you telling such an obvious LIE?
For what gain
Did Yorubas not vote Jonathan in 2011?

You probably should take your own advice first.
if you don't know, please learn or keep kwayet
Don't let white media fool you that they do not have voting BLOCS that are equivalent roughly to our tribal leanings.

Thank you! I hate it when people bring religion into politics. We voted buhari in ondo, not minding he's a Muslim. If we should take cognisance of religion, we would have voted jonathan in a pdp and christian-dominated ondo state last year. Buhari defeated jonathan in ondo, despite the sitting pdp governor's efforts to win the state for gej. Politics should be devoid of religion and ethnicity. We're yet to come to terms with this in Nigeria and that's why we found ourselves at this juncture today. What we're interested in is good leadership. Christians or Muslims, we're one.

I am an Ondo man from lagos, i av seen it all, we are not one maybe u av not been watching the news lately before said same but now not so much confidence in the people who practice that religion of peace, look at the north where boko haram is inhabiting, Somalia controlled partially by al-shaabab and invading neighboring Kenya killing Christians on sight, europe abhor Arab/Muslim refugees who are now planting terrorists in the host nations, i can go on, my brother these people are not afraid anything, they can kill at very short notice, it's good to keep them at polls length.
