2023: Pastor says rumours of Muslim-Muslim ticket targeted at denting Tinubu
Meanwhile, the leader of Young Professionals of Nigeria, Pastor John Desmond had warned those peddling rumours of a Muslim-Muslim in the APC to quit henceforth.
He said the speculation is targeted at denting the image of APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and tagging him as a religious fanatic.
Desmond, in a statement on Sunday, June 12 said that Tinubu was smart enough to make the best choice of running mate that would deliver victory when the time came.
His words:
“Nigerians are highly religious and political-minded people. We all respect ourselves and our religions, right from independence.
“The Muslim-Muslim ticket issue is dead on arrival and those speculate are out to cast aspersion on the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu."
