A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa has warned parties and 2023 candidates against undermining the constitution.
In a statement on Tuesday, he condemned the audacity of the consideration and promotion of a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

The legal practitioner noted that such “barefaced heartlessness beats any imagination.”

He said in the face of section 10 of the Constitution, how did some people garner the courage to propagate a Muslim-Muslim ticket “in a fractured entity”.

Wondering what could be the rationale, Adegboruwa posed a number of questions to the promoters.

He asked: “Superiority of faith? Enforcement of international conspiracies? A new form of Jihad? Is it a matter of distrust for or supposed inferiority of South West Muslims? Is the South West Muslim not Muslim enough or Northern Christian not Northern enough?”

The lawyer maintained that it was still the same elite who throw up bankrupt theories to create friction where there should be none.

Adegboruwa said even if the Christian population were to be less than it is now, the liberal concept of freedom of religion and thought should weigh in to balance the power equation.

The SAN reminded Nigerians that a Muslim (President Muhammadu Buhari) has been in the saddle since 2015, with little or no capacity to tame jihadists, who also descend on innocent Muslims.

“And yet the statistics show that from the South-South to the South-East, there is an incontestable monopoly of faith across the land and some would have us believe that they do not matter.

“In what way do we explain to those of them in Ondo, Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun and Oyo States that they should continue to play second fiddle due to the recklessness of some power monsters?” He asked.

Adegboruwa warned against using religion as a tool for power retention and told the promoters to perish the thought.

If tinubu is serious about winning he will pick a muslim northerner

What's in for the northern Muslims

(1). They can still have the preferable fulani muslim to a fake Yoruba muslim

(2). A Muslim Muslim ticket can discourage the northern christians that they really aren't one if they can't be trusted to represent north, so there is fear of loosing middle belt

(3). North can still erase the marginalization cries in the north east, north west would queue behind north east to Foster the support they have been getting since

(4). To north east the political gladiator atiku getting president is still better than settling for second best vp by a shettima only limited to borno

(5). Tinubu having a pastor as wife is a taboo to the radical northern Muslim that would disown his own blood over such

APCnaPDP:


You can’t have a pastor as your wife and claim to be a Muslim. His faith could be for political expediency.

muslim-Muslim Ticket na very brilliant idea by APC. I don write about am for my earlier post. Na trap set by APC for Atiku. The north go see Tinubu as very Muslim and radical like MURIC. And if PDP and Atiku make the yeye mistake of criticizing the idea, na OYO go be their result. The NW and NE go see Atiku as fake Muslim and traitor. Atiku and PDP must ignore this topic and if dem talk, make dem sey "Tinubu get right to pick who go work best with am like Atiku sef get right to pick who him feel most comfortable with to deliver the dividends of democracy". Everybody dey make Tinubu marketable to the North by criticizing this move

This man speaks like a drunkard.

The only interest of a party is to win election. That is exactly why PDP chose another Northerner even after 8 years of Buhari and these guys cheer them on.

APC interest is to win election and if selecting a Muslim candidate in the North favors their calculations, then why is Ebun bitter about this? Go to court if you think it’s truly unconstitutional.

The North is majority Muslim & the South is majority Christian. If in the future, a Northern Christian win a presidential primaries and want to select a Vice President from the SE for example, he will select a Christian because they are majorly Christians and won’t even vote an Igbo Muslim candidate.

It is a democracy. If you feel Muslim-Muslim ticket is bad, then don’t vote APC. Go and donate your vote to Atiku, Kwakwanso, or Obi. No one will kill you for that.

MadamExcellency:


Atiku can't win this election. PDP just lost Southeast voting block. The election is between APC and Labour.

if ojukwu couldn't win south east is it obi that would do it?

SE is settled for PDP as well as SS

NE is set to mobilize massively for atiku than settle for vp chaff

NC is ready to switch to PDP when the Muslim Muslim ticket is unveiled, both northern Christian's and fanatical Muslims in middle belt are going for atiku

We would meet to share North West equally, atiku is a better ardent in Islam than tinubu

And we would see who wins that battle

Truthisunique2:
which ever way he looses

Northernern muslims can't have a dozen and trade it for half a dozen

APC2:
CAN may head to court for this. This muslim-muslim ticket will bring unnecessary tension to Nigeria. In Pakinshin, Plateau state, an APC House of Rep Member Organized a town-hall meeting to mark democracy yesterday. Could you believe that we were told not to go and many christians did not attend. The APC office there was vandalized and APC members are being seen as evil and slaves of those who want to kill them. The House of Rep member is really worried because of this. When the Muslim/muslim ticket is announced, it will affect all election in the middle belt. APC will make it easy for PDP to win all elections. The effect of this Muslim/muslim ticket will shock the party at the end.

trial and error political analyst rest with your beer palour analysis

noleflendum:
It is very simple vote your Muslim Christian ticket make i vote for my own Muslim Muslim ticket

LeoDeKing:

Is it not as simple as that?

Since they know Tinubu will fail if he picks a Muslim running mate and they want him to fail, shouldn't they be happy about it? Why the noise then?

Biodun556:
The slot of Vice president in APC belongs to the North. They are free to choose christian or Muslim
