The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Matthew Hassan Kukah, has condemned the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.
Recall that Nollywood Times reported that Bishop Kukah said there was no cause for alarm over what APC did, which he described as the party's best interest. He added then that people should vote for the party they like. He concluded his statement by saying that it was not guaranteed that all Christians would vote for Christians and that all Muslims will over for Muslims.
The cleric described the ticket as reprehensible and unacceptable. He made the call while speaking with Channels Television on Thursday.
Bishop Kukah held that the ticket was a setback to the country's national integration. 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."
