Senate Chief Whip Orji Uzor Kalu has stated that running a Muslim-Muslim ticket by the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not a problem.
Kalu said it would be politically naive for Tinubu, a minority Muslim from the South-West, to choose a minority Christian from the North as his running mate, while answering questions from reporters at the Senate.
He insisted that since Tinubu’s wife is a senior pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), she will balance the ticket as a ‘de facto deputy president’ should Tinubu win the presidency.
He said that APC cannot afford to field two minorities and expect to win the 2023 presidential election.
Do you Agree With Him?
