In the wake of speculations in the media that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC may field a Muslim-Muslim ticket in the 2023 presidential election, Governor Nasru El-Rufai of Kaduna State has urged the media to set aside religion from politics and governance in Nigeria.

El-Rufai, while speaking on the issue on Channels TV’s political show, Politics Today, stated that the media should be on the lookout for competence, capacity, capability, and deilivery and not religion.

He said, “I don’t think we should be looking at religion. We want to develop this country. When I get into a plane, I don’t ask about the religion of the pilot. When I go to the hospital, I don’t ask for the doctor’s religion of the doctor, I just want to get well. I just want to get to my destination when in an aircraft.

“The way the media and many irresponsible people try to inject religion into politics and governance is sad and pathetic, and will not take us anywhere.

He described as sad and pathetic, what he termed as fixation of Nigerians with religion instead of competence and delivery.

“Nigeria is at the crossroads. We face very serious dangers in security and economic meltdown. Global issues are affecting us and all people are concerned with as far as who will be President I or Vice President is concerned is religion. It’s so sad.

“It’s not our religion that will solve our problems. It’s the people, who are competent, that will address Nigerians’ problems, unite this country, and put it on a progressive path,” he added.

Meanwhile, El-Rufai’s name has been on the radar of a possible running-mate for the APC presidential flag bearer, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

While Tinubu and stakeholders of the ruling party intensify consultations on the choice of running-mate, other names that have been listed as likely running-mate for the APC presidential candidates are the Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Bagudu; Kano State Governor, Abdulahi Ganduje; Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Gida Mustapha and Malam Kashim Ibrahim-Imam.

But, El-Rufai has dismissed the claim, just as he described it as speculation.

He said, “I don’t engage in endless speculation. The candidate will choose his running mate. He will evaluate many factors, and the best we can do is to give him space and time and advise him and guide him to make the right choice.”

When asked how the APC Muslim-Muslim ticket would sit with Nigerians, El-Rufai said he didn’t look at the issue from the perspective of Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian.

“I don’t think the business of governance has to do with religion. I think we should look for the best person for the job and the person that will get the job done.

“I’m the wrong person to ask because in my state I picked a very qualified and competent woman as running-mate in the 2019 elections, but just because it happened to be a Muslim, people are calling it a Muslim-Muslim ticket, and they said we are going to lose, but we didn’t. we won overwhelmingly.”

Are you aware that more christians are being killed in Kaduna under Muslims Muslim ticket than anywhere in history. This is a second scam to retire the drug thief anyway. I pray it happens. The north knows it won't sell but afonjas na anywhere belle face. Even Buhari no try am, na Tinubu wan try it.

Leave explanation...

CAN are now scared to see how utterly useless they are just like MURIC, they influence nothing

They backed Jonathan and even prophesied he failed woefully

They backed Pastor Osinbajo, they still chop Banku for breakfast

CAN should either grow up and negotiate like normal stakeholders or continue their hypocrisy and Religious bigotry



.

Muslim- Muslim ticket can't work in Nigeria but it will end up bringing religious war because Christians will say they're killing us because they have power and let's defend our selves.
Na so Nigeria go turn to Sudan if APC have good plans for Nigerians they shouldn't try it because the end won't be good

Very interesting to see how muslim extremists always say that they are not concerned about religion?

Can El Rufie vote christian- christian ticket?

That's a big lie El Rufai.

Every region has got competent people, so religion becomes a very important fa yor for such a religiously charged society like ours.

Let him project Christian Christian ticket to succeed him in 2023, and give a kaduna Christian the house speakership, then we can take him serious !
