His words:
“Nigerians need to go a step further by ensuring that they go to the polls and stand firm against the same faith ticket.
“Any same-faith ticket is a vote against fairness, justice, and equity. It should be rejected by all and sundry in the interest of national unity. It will only succeed in further polarizing the already fractured nation along ethnic and religious lines.
“The adoption of the same religion ticket is a lost opportunity to unite the nation, not a gain in any way.
“CAN and PFN have played their part by taking a stand against same faith ticket, it is down to the citizens to ensure that equity, fairness, and justice are maintained.”
Bishop Ayeni added that the 2023 election is a battle for the soul and future of Nigeria, stressing that, Nigeria needs a ticket that will unite the country, not divide it.
