Dogara Hits APC, Says Muslim-muslim Ticket Will Fail by Omooba77: 6:52pm On Sep 20, 2022 |
The adoption Muslim-Muslim ticket by the All Progressives Congress for the 2023 presential election is a fruitless political effort that has been doomed to end in spectacular failure, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara predicted on Tuesday. He also took to cleaners the insistence by the presidential candidate of APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on presenting Muslim-Muslim presidential candidates, despite a national outcry. Dogara expressed his views in Abuja while delivering his keynote address at a summit tagged, ‘Meet The Church,’ organised by the Nigeria National Christian Coalition with the theme: ‘The role of the church in nation-building’. He said, “In their convoluted posturing, they have placed state-building ahead of nation-building; a task never before achieved in history and we need no seer to tell us that such endeavor is guaranteed to end in spectacular failure. No divided people have ever built any civilization “I am so elated that today’s church in Nigeria has shaken off the beast of the complacency of the past into fire by speaking up and resisting measures adopted by some political platforms that will hamper nation building. “In a manner that negated the fundamentals of nation building, such as shared identity, values and visions, the APC adopted a same faith ticket in a country that has never attained nationhood.” According to him, long before the adoption of the same faith ticket, the church had warned against it through the Christian Association of Nigeria, Catholic Secretariat, ECWA and so many other Christian organisations. Dogara said, “These warnings were not only ignored but dismissed in one fell swoop by the APC presidential candidate who strangely believes that he can build a strong, secure and viable nation-state without first forging a shared identity, vision and values for our people thereby enabling us transit from citizens of a country into a nation of people with strong shared identity and values. “To demonstrate that the church is right, it is not alone in condemning the same faith ticket. Other prominent Islamic clerics and Muslim leaders have also spoken in the same light. “It is a good omen that both Christian and Muslim elites are not complacent over this matter. To this end, it will be easy to generate the needed elite consensus that is key to nation-building. All nations are built by elite consensus while all countries that failed in nation-building were destroyed by elite complacency.” The former Speaker also called on Christians to resist the temptation to waste their votes in the 2023 general elections. “Every Christian knows that our God does not tolerate waste. It is unchristian for the church to waste anything given to us from above as we own nothing except what is given to us from above. Related News APC will clean PDP's mess in Abia - Chairman Party mourns as Ondo council APC chairman dies 'I’m still young', Bello defends new APC appointment “I have gone to great lengths to demonstrate that the church must not waste its votes or sow same on unproductive grounds. “Every Christian must see his vote as talents given to him by God to trade with and as seeds that must not be wasted. “The only way we can build a nation out of Nigeria is by doing the right things. A united, inclusive, peaceful and prosperous Nigeria is possible if we go to work. We can start building that Nigeria of our dreams if we don’t waste our votes in the next election circle”, he said. At the event, the convener of NNCC, Apostle Titilope Oluwadare, regretted that the church at present is playing a mere reactionary part in Nigeria’s political process. She said that in every great nation the main stakeholders engage and negotiate power, positions and policies. Oluwadare said it was time for Christians to understand that until the church engages and brings forth her interests and drives them into ideas and fashions out political strategies, the system will not be sanitised. “Therefore, we may continue in the circle retrogression in the nation and the situation continues to deteriorate even further,” she said. The Vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and Governor of Delta State, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, represented by Senator Uche Ekwunife, told religious organisations and groups to show interest in engaging not just a political class, but the three arms of government as major stakeholders in Nigeria projects, especially on sensitive national issues. He explained that by doing so, a lot more would be achieved in nation-building. Okowa said although it might seem long overdue, Christians should navigate their way into the process of leadership in Nigeria. He explained that Nigerians were tired of politicians who chant the problems bedeviling the nation but lack concrete solutions to the challenges. “We know the challenges. We don’t want people to come and tell us our challenges. We want people to tell us the solutions to our problems because our problems and tomorrow’s anybody engaging your political platform”, he said. https://punchng.com/dogara-hits-apc-says-muslim-muslim-ticket-will-fail 2 Likes |

Tinubu insulted our sensibilities by going with Muslim Muslim ticket and we the Nigerian masses are not happy with it more especially now that Nigeria has been divided along tribal and religious line by this failed and horrible regime. Nigeria is at a crossroad and we need a unifier and a man of outstanding integrity like Peter Obi to rescue Nigeria from the precipice. Our happiness is that Nigerians have unanimously agreed to vote for Peter Obi to make Nigeria work again. We are Nigerians! We are patriotic. 7 Likes 1 Share

Any sensible sensible person knows, Tinubu is wasting his time and resources. He foolishly chose a Muslim because he is expecting a Bloc votes from Northern Muslims. Meanwhile Northern Muslims will vote for their own Atiku while Northern Christians will vote for Obi. Tinubu is left with just the votes of Yoruba Muslims and some clueless Yoruba Christians. This election is between Atiku and Obi, Agbado boys are deceiving themselves 5 Likes |

My problem is that Nigerian Christians are easy by overs. Once they see money, they lose their senses. Later same Christians will turn and be shouting they are killing Christians in Nigeria. No single Christian, I repeat no Christian will have the courage to float Christian-Christian ticket. None at all. I trust Muslims to do a protest vote and send his career packing. Muslims can hardly be bought over with money. Sometimes I laugh when Christians accuse Muslims of trying to Islamise them. Why won't you be Islamized when you have so much lust for money? Muslims in the north are even agitating more against Muslim Muslim ticket than the Christians. Tinubu intentionally insulted Christians and decided to rub salt on injury when he hired fake bishops. How many Christians can courageously hire fake Imams? Give them quran to go to a political gathering? How many? We Christians should reduce our lust for money so that we can earn respect. If you are a Christian and get bought over to vote this Muslim Muslim ticket, I pity your generations. 1 Like |

Whom the gods want to kill, they first make him mad. Tinubu was very insensitive in the choice he made in a time that Christians, particularly up North, feel so wounded and endangered. He will receive the bashing made for the Northern Christian oppressors. People should know that APC wining has huge implications beyond Tinubu or competence. Even if Tinubu will turn Nigeria around, it less important than the survival of a group that already think that they on the verge of extinction. It will not work!!!! |
