The scam is dead on arrival,\u201d Momodu said.<\/p>\n<p>But reacting to the remark, the APC Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, said those who see the North from the prism of religion during electioneering are nothing but poor students of history.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cPeople are playing politics with reality. Traditionally, the North does not vote based on religion or ethnicity. Recall that in 1993, the North voted massively for the late Moshood Kashimawo Olawale, MKO Abiola. That is not to say they voted for him because he was a Muslim. The same North voted massively for Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and they didn\u2019t vote on the basis of religion. Jonathan contested against Atiku who is a Muslim from the North and won. The North does not vote on the sentiment of section or religion; they vote based on merit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe North is politically advanced to be able to differentiate merit from mediocrity. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/01\/23\/bauchi-prepare-your-handover-notes-apc-tells-bala-muhammed\/\">APC<\/a> is campaigning based on issues, not religion or section and our candidate, Bola Tinubu will win with a landslide,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, spokesman for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, carpeted the PDP campaign council for going \u201cextremely low,\u201d stressing that the attempt to whip up religious sentiments will count against the main opposition party during the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese people have gone extremely low and it shows the level of their desperation for power. What they have done is complete heresy. All they are trying to do is to wipe up religious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/04\/29\/2023-presidency-do-not-vote-with-sentiments-okorocha-tells-apc-delegates\/\">sentiments<\/a> to sway votes, but it is not going to work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these years that Asiwaju has been giving alms, they did not say he was a fake Muslim. He has given more alms than Atiku. He performed Hajj all the time and they didn\u2019t see him as a fake Muslim. How can a Christian from the South say that the North will not vote for another Muslim because he is not a proper Muslim? If a Muslim from the North rises today and says a Christian in the South is not a proper Christian, what will happen? Of course, there will be a wide condemnation of such. Nigerians have gone beyond this pettiness, and they will show that on February 25,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The All Progressives Congress has countered the alleged ploy by the\u00a0Peoples Democratic Party to portray the North as a region blinded by religious sentiment when it comes to electing Nigeria\u2019s political leaders.
