Wike: APC Muslim-muslim Ticket Not Good For Nigeria's Democracy by Joevics(m): 7:10pm On Dec 11, 2022
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has started that the Muslim-msulim ticket of the all progressives Congress (APC) is bad for Nigeria, just as it is for a northerner to replace another northernaer.

Wike also urged the Church in Nigeria to be vigilant and not allow itself to be used by desperate politicians who desire power at all cost in the 2023 general elections.

The governor stated this on Sunday at the St. Paul’s Cathedral, Diobu-Port Harcourt during the Rivers Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Dedication Service for 2023 Election Campaigns.

Wike, told the Church in Nigeria to ‘shine its eyes’, a Nigerian lingo to be alert to current happenings, and not be dragged unnecessarily into political intrigues.

“All of us should participate in the politics of Nigeria but the church must not be used as if we are fighting a religious war.

“We have to be careful so that the church is not destroyed,” the governor said.

Wike said just as the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not good for democracy, so also is it unacceptable for a northerner – PDP’s Atiku Abubakar – to take over from Katsina-born President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

“We cannot hand over govt to unserious people,” Wike said, adding that political parties must pay to use any public facility in Rivers.

Unending Row
With about two months to the 2023 presidential election on February 25, politicians have been seen at major programmes of mega churches, tacitly seeking support of their large congregations.

Wike’s 2023 presidential ambition was terminated when he lost the PDP’s primary to Atiku in May. Atiku, a former Vice President later stung Wike when he passed over his closest rival at the primary and chose Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate.

Wike has since been at loggerheads with PDP presidential candidate (Atiku) over the chairmanship of Iyorchia Ayu. Wike with four other PDP governors known as the G5 or the Integrity Group have insisted that Benue-born Ayu must step down for a southerner as a precondition to support the 2023 ambition of Atiku.

Last month, Wike promised logistics support for the campaigns of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi; and his New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) counterpart, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

While Wike and his allies have not been seen to campaign for Atiku, it is not clear whether they will support Obi, Kwankwaso or APC’s Bola Tinubu in the contest for Aso Rock’s top job.

Werey stop twisting what he said. I watched the programme live.

It is more like saying : if you think Muslim-muslim ticket is bad, then supporting another northerner again is bad.

He was reffering to people criticising him for opposing Atiku. Infact that statement is actually him defending the Muslim-muslim ticket. And he prefer it to another Northerners. Obi is not even an option. He is not worthy of mentioning

Wike is a vacuous noisemaker. What does he know about it? These same people will travel all the way to Dubai to have a meeting they can easily do in Nigeria. They buy properties there. They feel safe there, isn't Dubai led from head to bottom by Muslims?

The way you urchins make unreasonable comparison make one wonder if you guys have a working brain

On what basis are you comparing Nigeria a secular state, with an almost equal number of the population practicing the two dominant religion, Islam and Christianity to a Muslim dominated Dubai

Do you even know the meaning of secularism? Olodo. It means religion have no basis in the government of Nigeria. If that is the case, why then are fools like you, Wike, Obi, CAN and others whipping up religious sentiments?

That we are talking about this today is because a desparedo like Tinubu with a demonic life long ambition jettisoned an established norm where we have a Muslim/Christian presidential and vice presidential combination and vice versa in every election cycle


ElSudani, I know you working overtime to market your comedy of gaffes

Who established the tradition? The constitution says the president and the vice president must come from different parts of the country and this has be satisfied.
Hypocrites are merely exploiting religion to further drive a wedge between Nigerians and for their own political gains.

So, you really think Tinubu and Shettima are involved in the minute details of inviting people to a rally even if it was true that the clergymen were indeed fake?

But in all your thread, you keep mentioning Obi,yet you contradict yourself by saying he's not worth mentioning.
