TheGodlessGod:
yet he still did it.

There are alot more Christians in kaduna than there are Muslims in Edo state

helinues:
So it should have been Christian/Christian ticket?



And where did you get that fact from?

yinkus6750:
Is Obasekis deputy Shuaib a Christian?
Coming up with an inconsequential point.
It's in the spirit of fairness to accommodate other religion in governance.
I support his sense of reasoning.
And that's the problem we have, we attach sentiments to everything, religion, tribalism etc.
Is the chosen muslim competent for the post?
That should be the focus here.

Birniwa:
The most religious intolerant set of beings the world knows are these pigs called the Nigerian christians. Just look at this irrational state of mind, hatred and prejudice tone this illiterate OP is speaking towards the Muslims.

The last time I check you fools are advocating everywhere that your lame religion teaches you to be peaceful with everyone regardless of religion everywhere they are. Where is that teaching now? Scums!

Nwanyiogwashi:
If Edo people allow this nonsense to stand then they should watch and see how Muslims will start claiming the largest in Edo state like they are doing in south west. Edo people should not allow Yoruba people to deceive them that nothing is wrong with it because everything is wrong with it.

TheGodlessGod:
I think you're right. I don't want any Muslim as a deputy abeg.

TheGodlessGod:
I think this is one of the stupidest decision he has make, why did he choose a Muslim man as his running mate??..

Muslims in Edo state are the third biggest religion after Christianity and traditional religion, so there votes are pretty inconsequential.

This will start a trend of political parties start Fielding Christian/muslim ticket which is bad for Edo state.

The Muslim in Edo state are less than 10%, I don't see or know why he still choose him knowing obaseki can use it to campaign against him.

Very soon we'll start hearing Boko Haram in Edo state, ize iyamu what have you brought to Edo state?.

Although I want him to win or vote for him, I'm starting to reconsider

Kido90:


If you claim you are from Edo and familiar with Edo, you will know this your 10% is wrong. Etsako West, East & Central are mainly Muslims. This is already 16% of the 18LGAs. Most part of Owan East mainly Warrake, Ihievbie, Ihbviaro and others are Muslims. Part of Akoko Edo and around Ikpeshie are Muslims. You would also find them scattered in other Christian communities. So, your 10% is so incorrect.

Edo has always lived as one community as religion is never a consideration in making decisions. So, drop this stereotype that you have. Oshomole also had to battle with this kind of mindset in his first term when people like you said he was from a minority tribe and that the votes usually come from Edo Central and South hence he didn't have a chance.

If a candidate with a credible credential whether Christian or Muslim, Minority or Majority, is able to sell his manifesto, Edo people will vote for him.

TheGodlessGod:
yet he still did it.

There are alot more Christians in kaduna than there are Muslims in Edo state

TheGodlessGod:
yes it should be a Christian Christian ticket.

I'm an Edo person and you're yoruba, when I say muslim in Edo state are less than 10% believe me

kovic20:
Because they want Kaduna model: He dies, the Muslim takes over as governor, signaling the islamization of Edo. Before you know it, Edo will be like SW with 70% Muslims. Yorubas will down play this percentage but one way to find this out yourself is every 6 yorubas you meet, ask them their religion, 4 out of 6 are Muslims. Kogi is another example, even though Muslims are minority, but they rule Christians majority Igalas. How did that happen? Once a minority muslim gets into that power, it's permanent!

seanwilliam:
i can smell tribalism above even though you are right

TheGodlessGod:
Mhen imagine having to be the first south south state to have a Muslim deputy governor, so embarrassing..

Zeinymira:

Wow

Binikingdowm:
please shut up this is nigeria stop pretending, we are tribalistic deal with it.

helinues:


So other SS states that have been practicing Christian/Christian ticket, is there anything to show for it?

Ayade and his deputy are both Prof, any wonders happening in Cross River State?

matex97:
bros i am from edo state and i can tell you that the op is right regarding the estimated statistics he wrote.

matex97:
You are totally correct bro. I presume that decision was taken by oshiomole.

BeLookingIDIOT:
Edo State is not nearly as bigoted as the South East. Moreover,it's possible the guy is a Christain.
Anyways,don't blame him... perhaps,the people there are finding it quite off to keep fielding only xtians in political positions from that particular region in Edo State despite it having a large Muslim presence.

Sammy07:


Is that what the Bible teach us?
To be intolerant?

What happened to love your neighbor as yourself?

Sammy07:


Don't mind him.

And he'll be quick to accept appointment from Dangote if he offers him.
