The dominant chatter in northern Nigerian Muslim discursive spheres now revolves around the suspicion that Tinubu isn’t a Muslim.
The former House Speaker delivered a stinging rebuke of Bola Tinubu for disregarding Nigeria’s religious composition in choosing his 2023 running mate for the ruling APC.
Mr Ganduje’s statement comes amid criticisms trailing Mr Tinubu’s choice of a Muslim vice presidential candidate for the 2023 election.
“The selection of a Muslim running mate is a display of crass insensitivity to the complexity of modern Nigeria and the entire Church.”
“I want to make clear that what Nigerians want is good leadership, that the religion we are bringing into politics must be de-emphasised.”
