The cleric said those critics preferred President Muhammadu Buhari, a Fulani Muslim and northerner, to hand over to another Fulani Muslim and northerner.

He then urged the people not to allow the APC's Muslim-Muslim ticket to blind them from bigger issues because the same faith ticket is mere "a symptom".

Oluoma said:

“APC didn't adopt a Muslim-Muslim ticket to Islamize Nigeria; let no one deceive you into thinking that. They did it to get votes. If you are a Christian and you think your problem is a Muslim, or vice versa, you don't have insight, you have sight".
