As a Christian, Muslim-Muslim ticket is unacceptable – Bishop Kukah

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Hassan Kukah has described the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket as reprehensible and unacceptable.

Speaking with Channels Television on Thursday, the Bishop insisted that Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s choice to pick Kashim Shettima as his running mate is against the will of Nigerians.

While Tinubu is a Muslim from the Southwest, Shettima is a Muslim from the North.

However, Kukah wondered if Muslims would accept a Christian-Christian presidential ticket.

He said Nigerians would wait to hear what they have to say when the campaign starts.

He said: “But moving forward, the question I have asked my friends who are Muslims, especially those who are from northern Nigeria, is a simple question: ‘Would Muslims in Nigeria or northern Nigeria be ready to make the same concession that Christians made in 1984 and 1993?

“I think that as a Christian, this is totally reprehensible. It is not acceptable to me, but that is the decision of the APC as a party. Perhaps, when the campaign starts, we will hear what people have to say.”
