Adamu: APC’s All Muslim Ticket Positive Development *Party names Lalong, Keyamo campaign DG, spokesman *I was chosen not as Christian, says Plateau governor *Shettima asks opposition candidates to
*I was chosen not as Christian, says Plateau governorThe All Progressives Congress yesterday rose in stout defence of its all Muslim presidential ticket saying it signposts positive development for Nigeria.
Tinubu’s choice of running mate in July, this year had attracted criticisms across the country especially from the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria . “There is no doubt in the fact that we have people who stock trade on some of these religious issues. Just like you have people expressing fears, or concerns about a Muslim-Muslim ticket, there are Christians that welcome it as a positive development, in Nigerian politics. They are Nigerians,” he added.
On the purpose of their visit to the President, the APC Chairman announced the party’s choice of Lalong as DG of its Presidential Campaign Organisation saying the APC settled for Lalong because of his “ability”. Also speaking, Lalong emphasised that the party chose him because of his ability and not as a Christian.
Citing the Ribadu-Bafarawa same faith presidential ticket of the Action Congress of Nigerian in the 2011 general elections, the former Governor of Borno state advised Nigerians to focus on issues and not the faith of the candidates.
