Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, has sparked the interest of the people, the good Nigerians, over the issue of Muslim-Muslim tickets, which has reportedly taken another turn as of yesterday. In his opinion, the muslim-muslim ticket (where his running mate would be a muslim rather than a Christian or Northern cleric) is the right thing to do. He voiced his thoughts on his official Twitter account;
“This chapter in our nation’s history demands a bold yet pragmatic approach. In selecting Senator Shettima I have committed myself to this path. I have made the hard choice because I believe it is the best choice.Together, we shall build this party and this nation.This is where politics must end and leadership must begin. True Leadership is not grounded in religious pandering, populism or sentiment. To forge ahead as a nation toward development and prosperity, we must, instead, break the shackles of old thinking.”
More people were riled up yesterday during the unveiling of Kashim Shettima, the former governor of Borno, as Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vice president. According to reports, Bola Ahmed Tinubu allegedly hired some bishops to attend the unveiling of Shettima in order to demonstrate some sort of acceptance of Shettima by the “men of God”.

Some catholic members have said that the dresses/regalia worn by these people actually have certain times in which they can be worn. This has also contributed to the fact that these men are not REAL as the dresses worn are not meant for the occasion.
