The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Dioceses, Matthew Hassan Kukah has condemned the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket, described it as reprehensible and unacceptable.
Speaking with Channels Television on Thursday, the Catholic Bishop insisted that the ticket was a setback to the country’s national integration. Kukah stated that, Tinubu is a Muslim from the Southwest, while Shettima is a Muslim from the North.
The Bishop said, Nigerians would wait to hear what they have to say when the campaign starts.
He said: “But moving forward, the question I have asked my friends who are Muslims, especially those who are from northern Nigeria, is a simple question: ‘Would Muslims in Nigeria or northern Nigeria be ready to make the same concession that Christians made in 1984 and 1993?”.
“I think that as a Christian, this is totally reprehensible. It is not acceptable to me, but that is the decision of the APC as a party. Perhaps, when the campaign starts, we will hear what people have to say”.
