running mate<\/a>.<\/p>\nBefore now, there had been warnings from CAN, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria and Civil Society Organisations against fielding a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 presidential election.<\/p>\n
Speaking in an interview on Sunday, CAN\u2019s spokesperson, Adebayo Oladeji, said making such a decision in a polarised country was a wrong move.<\/p>\n
He stated that if having a pastor as the vice president of the country and Christian clerics and worshipers are being killed , the security of lives and properties of Christians under a Muslim-Muslim could not be guaranteed.<\/p>\n
Oladeji, however, warned that Nigerians should be ready to face the consequences of their actions if they endorsed and vote for a Muslim-Muslim ticket.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cWe knew this was what he was going to do and we have warned against it. It is up to Nigerians to decide on what they want.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are all alive when we warned Buhari not to allow Muslims to dominate the security architecture of the country and he did it. I think we can see the way the criminals are operating with impunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, if Tinubu says he is opting for a Muslim-Muslim ticket in a polarised country like ours , if Nigerians endorse him and vote for him, whatever happens, Nigerians will face the consequences.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have a government where a pastor is a vice president and pastors and worshipers are being killed you can imagine what will happen when we have a Muslim-Muslim ticket.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is left to Nigerians to make their choice, let them vote them in and we will all face the consequences together.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are raising our alarm. It is an irony that Buhari they regarded as an extremist when we raised an alarm to warn him against a Muslim-Muslim ticket, he heeded and opted for a christian as his vice presidential candidate. \u201d<\/p>\n
Similarly, the Christ Global Network Presbyter, Bishop Taiwo Akinola and the General Overseer of Rhema Christian Church and Towers International with headquarters in Sango Otta in Ogun State made bold express disagreement with same faith ticket for 2023 general elections despite assurances of fairness to all, describing it as unhealthy for today\u2019s Nigeria.<\/p>\n
He said this during a media briefing held alongside the New Wine Fire Conference 2022 with the theme: \u201cFlowing In The Messianic Anointing\u201d explaining that same faith ticket, particularly at the presidency would further entrench national division.<\/p>\n
Bishop Akinola advised all political parties to jettison all mono faith permutation which is capable of fueling a further cry against the real or perceived allegation of an islamization agenda and exacerbating the country\u2019s present religious crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
