I personally think that the argument of APC in justifying their reason for a muslim-Muslim ticket which is that we should focus on issue-based politics is a logical fallacy, a fallacy called "special pleading".

Special pleading is an informal fallacy wherein one cites something as an exception to a general or universal principle, without justifying the special exception.

The point is, if the motive behind a south-north flag barrier/running mate is to create inclusiveness based on regions then why should that not that apply to religion with respect to regards the major religions. If you argue for inclusiveness then the least you can do is to represent the two major religions Which accounts for 97% of Nigerians

While I think all these sentiments don't matter, whether the region or the religion of a candidate but APC and other political parties already are spreading the narrative of inclusiveness to manage sentiments and now APC cannot choose when to break this rule. It's special pleading.

The Muslim-Muslim ticket is as insensitive as a north-north or south-south ticket IMO.

There are three candidates to choose from. If one candidate decides not to honour religious inclusiveness by balancing the two major Faiths, then we have two other sensible candidates to choose from.




Tinubu shot himself on the leg. If he thinks the core North is made up of Muslims entirely, then he's shakingly wrong. The core North is also made up of various ethnic Christians and traditional worshippers. His expectation is dead on arrival.

Nice.

Man-Man ticket is also wrong since we also have women in this country.
