“I will be fair to all.” Tinubu, Sunday Vanguard, July 10, 2022.
That Asiwaju Bola Tinubu opted for a Muslim-Muslim ticket after winning the election primaries of the All Progressives Congress, APC, was not a surprise to me. I expected it, even as I was predicting that he would emerge as the flag-bearer for the APC. Several reasons account for this but they all come to the same thing: Tinubu is an unrepentant Muslim bigot; as I will explain later fully.
So, for me, the issue is not Muslim-Muslim, M-M, ticket as such.
It is Tinubu at the head of that ticket. In my opinion, he cannot be trusted to
be fair to Christians. His words and actions in the past demonstrate the fact
that Christians allowing themselves to be lulled to sleep by the illogical
statements of Tinubu’s supporters will regret it later. To be blunt; I don’t
believe that Tinubu will be fair to all. That is the sort of politicians’
promise which only gullible individuals will swallow. He has never been fair to
Christians – except the few who received crumbs from his table.
