APC<\/a> standard bearer, is a Muslim from the south-west while his running mate, Kashim Shettima, is a Muslim from the north-east.<\/p>\nThe Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC has been condemned by groups such as the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).<\/p>\n
Speaking during a congress in Kaduna on Saturday, Ejoga Inalegwu, chairman of NOSCEF, asked \u201clovers of united\u201d Nigeria to reject politicians that are insensitive to faith inclusion in the country.<\/p>\n
Inalegwu said Christians must use the 2023 polls to \u201ckill\u201d the idea of a single-faith ticket and make it irrelevant in future elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnpatriotic politicians will use any formula they can apply to win elections, whether it hurts or not and promise to placate as APC is doing after all the pleas,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey will discard any formula that makes them lose elections in the future. Make the single-faith ticket unattractive for the future, by killing it now or render yourselves forever an irrelevant commodity in the election equation for the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople easily persuaded by personal and selfish gains to the destruction of the body will be a Judas to the Christendom.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us be men and women of principles and loyalty to God.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe enjoin all lovers of Nigeria across faith to reject the single faith ticket to frustrate politics of exclusion that is mindful of regional balance but insensitive to faith inclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n
On his part, Josiah Onaolapo, a professor who was the guest speaker at the congress, said the 2023 election is a test of the political viability of northern Christians.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must mobilise our people to vote in 2023 as if our lives depend on it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you allow the door to close against northern Christians, the door will be closed forever.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no state in the north that does not have about 30 percent of Christians including Sokoto and Zamfara states.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
