Present Division, Mistrust Won’t Favour Muslim-Muslim Presidential Ticket – El-Buba
…Says, APC presidential candidates puts northern Christians in difficult position
President and General of the Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministries International (EBOMI), Prophet Isa El–Buba, has said that the mistrust and division in the country at the moment, makes it difficult for Northern Christians to accept the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Prophet El-Buba, who stated this in Jos, the Plateau State capital during an interaction with Journalists on Tuesday, said that it was on that premise that it is difficult for any political party to sell a same faith ticket.
He particularly decried the Muslim- Muslim ticket of All Progressive Congress (APC), stressing that it does not make sense whatsoever for anybody to think that the situation in 1993 and now are the same.
According to him; “The present situation in the county is different from what was on ground in 1993 during the time of MKO Abiola that his party featured a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
“There is so much mistrust and division in Nigeria at the moment, and that makes it difficult for any party that produces Muslim- Muslim ticket to win elections. The current situation in the county calls for healing and reconciliation among Nigerians.
“When President Muhammadu Buhari came on board in 2015, the Senate president became a Muslim, speaker House of Representatives became a Muslim and the national chairman of the party a Muslim, a situation that makes the rest of Nigerians to begin to nurse fears that there is an agenda,” he said.
Prophet El-Buba further said that Nigerians are so divided at this present time because of lack of trust, stressing that Christians and Muslims should not be deprived of what belongs to them in the various political parties as they prepare to go to the polls in 2023.
