Speaking at a prayer session organised in honour of Kwara state governor, AbdulRahaman AbdulRazaq, the cleric cited the election of two Christain candidates in Osun state.
He noted that the people of Osun state overlooked religious sentiment to vote for that which is right for them.

Danmaigoro added that same should be allowed at the national level, saying that the most important thing in an election is the emergence of a candidate who has the interest of the people at heart.
His words:
“If there is nothing wrong in the people of Osun State voting for the PDP’s Christian-Christian ticket, then there is nothing wrong in Nigerians supporting the presidential candidate of the APC and his running mate, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kassim Shettima who are both Muslims.
“What should be paramount in the minds of Nigerians is the election of capable hand as the nation’s next president and Tinubu has all it takes to make Nigeria great again."
"There'll be no Nigeria without this state," Tinubu makes critical revelation
Ahmed Tinubu had assured the people of Bayelsa state of desired development if he is elected as president in 2023.
Tinubu gave the assurance to the people while speaking at the ruling party's presidential rally in Yenogoa, Bayelsa state's capital city.
The APC flag bearer also said that he is a man of fair play and would do all it takes to ensure that the people of the state are fairly treated.
Tinubu makes strong demand from Western countries as 2023 election approaches
Several countries across the West have been urged to compensate Nigeria for their explorative activities in the past years.
The call was made by the 2023 presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress Bola Tinubu.
The former Lagos state governor said that resources obtained from Nigeria were used as key contributors to the development of Western economies.
