Just as a lot of the Muslims who endorse APC's Muslim-Muslim president ticket would declare a jihad against a Christian-Christian presidential ticket by a ruling party, a lot of the Christians who oppose a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket would praise a Christian-Christian presidential ticket as evidence of progress, of religious tolerance, and of the praiseworthy deemphasis of religion in politics.


You know how I know this? I’ve noticed that some of the very people who’re having fits of hysterical rage over APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket are celebrating the “religious tolerance” that Osun PDP’s "Christian-Christian" ticket symbolizes, particularly because Osun is a predominantly Muslim state.

(For the record Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke is BOTH a Christian and a Muslim. Let's just call him a "Chrislim"�)

For good measure, they throw around the sterile, mendacious cliché about religion being immaterial in Yorubaland in light of the religious ecumenicalism of the people.


Well, if religion is immaterial in Yorubaland, why would an effectively non-religious but nominal Muslim Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s choice of a northern Muslim running mate rankle so many Christians in the region this deeply?


Until recently, Tinubu didn’t even identify with Islam publicly, is married to a pastor, and ALL his children are Christians. He sees himself first as a Yoruba man before he is a nominal Muslim.


Apparently, religion “doesn’t matter” in Yorubaland only when Muslims are rendered invisible there. Then it suddenly matters when they enjoy some visibility.


Even though Muslims constitute more than 50 percent of Yorubaland's population, there will not be a single Muslim governor there after Adeleke is sworn in. (I'm sure the people of Osun who voted against their incompetent governor who happens to be a Muslim don't care, but since religion has now been centralized in political discourse we need to point this out).


The people who fought for a “Christian” governor of Lagos State (so much for “religion doesn’t matter in Yoruba land”!) would celebrate the current state of affairs as evidence of the “religious harmony in Yorubaland.”


Consequence-free invisibilization of Muslims in their region is their definition of religious “harmony.” Harmony comes when different notes synchronize, but their own harmony comes the same note!


The hypocrisy of the religious fanatics of all faiths is galling. The supreme irony is that it’s often headless, irrational fanatics who’re quick to call others bigots and fanatics for calling out their bigotry and fanaticism.

Muslim Muslim cadidacy in kaduna nko

During the time of Oyinlola his deputy was also a Christian. The way I see it religion is not so important but competency among Yoruba. But the way it is being used now anything can happen.

What the writer is trying to say is that in the southwest region where Tinubu is from, religion doesn't matter there and that's why we shouldn't blame him for nominating a Muslim as his running mate.

Most of dem wey we dey shout Christian Christian muslim Muslim still Jam for ogboni meeting....

Wu Cares abt religion in SW when we all sit down together and still do family meeting together...


We even go as far as Visiting the one that're Muslim to eat meat on Salah day and on Xmas the muslims also visit the Christian....


You people that can't tolerate ursef cause of religion can keep killing ursef....

Lol nothing can happen you can't use religion to break us....

If you're from the west and you're a Muslim and carry bomb and head straight to the church there's no way around it u will surely kill a member from ur family....

There's no way you can use the religion intolerance to enter us cos alot of married couple are doin different religion without no issue...

The only place where religion count is Ilorin and doz one don say dem don follow North go....


If na about religion As Tinubu finish him tenure people will protest that the next Governor mus be Christian buh wu get time after Tinubu it was Fashola after a Muslim don already spend 8years....

We are not going to vote for Moslem Moslem ticket period

The funniest thing is that those shouting they won't vote Muslim Muslim tickets are the same people calling Osinbajo fake Christian all because of their agendas to agend.

OP need I remind you that We were once separate entities before we were brought together by oyinbo.
We all have our different ethnicities with major spiritual believes and affiliation.
In the National Project there's need to ensure equity, fairness, justice and inclusiveness to promote Unity,Trust and Believe in Our Union as One entity.
If the Whole of SW are Muslim Majority that doesn't mean the Reality on ground must be the same with NE or SE or any other Region,at the head sit,fair representation is very key.
Aso Rock is not Osun.
Say to to Muslim-muslim agenda in a Country with diversities like Nigeria.

Yes I agree with you but people from the other side of Niger are creating problem on this issue.

TinubuThief:

They are not expecting any vote from someone like you who does not have a PVC

Op is slow, docile, very unintelligent and ineffectual.

O.p's IQ is that of a two year old child.

Otherwise, op would have known that whatever happens in Yoruba politics cannot be replicated in National politics.

Because Nigeria is more diverse, with diverse interests than Yoruba politics.

In sokoto, kastina, Kaduna, Kano etc you have Muslim - Muslim.

But Nigeria is bigger than those state, so don't compare.

he belong to both Christian, Muslim and traditional worshippers in Osun State. The incoming Governor of Osun State isn’t a biased governor. He both went to Mosques for thanksgiving also. Infact he went to mosque every Friday to worship with Muslims in Osun State. Senator Ademola Adeleke is a Muslim man born to Muslim family. All the family members bears Muslim names too.

We all know him going to the mosque is all because of politics which all politicians do close to election period He's not even an Alhaji..Does Davido bear Muslim name? Davidos father is on of the pillars in their church...Infact he gave his church a large space they use in his Office.I know the Adelekes family inside out..The man doesn't practice Islam...Even whenever he travels out,he goes to church...As rich as the Adelekes are, sponsoring people for Hajj, Nurudeen hasn't been there which you know the pride of every Muslim in the southwest is to be addressed as Alhaji.

Senator Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke has been going to mosque before he went to politics fully. You are just lieing and blowing propaganda against the governor elect based on the lies you saw on the media. Senator Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke’s a core Muslim. Senator Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke has sponsored series of Muslim faithfuls to hajj. Their country home in Ede is like Mecca in Osun State. You don’t know their family at all. No wonder your comments here is full of lies and propaganda.

I know them fully in Lagos...I won't give you any clue about what I know about them as it will go against the ethics of my profession...But look at it now, sponsoring faithful to Hajj is what everybody can do...What stops him from performing the same hajj if truly he's a Muslim faithful since he has the money?I don't want to talk much because I won't want it look as if I'm denigrating his personality but I know him very well and I'm sure of what I'm saying... Honestly I'm not blowing any propaganda....I don't want to talk much about them...The good thing about the Adelekes is that they are the number 1 philanthropist in Osun state and that was what won him the election..Which of my comment is full of lies and propaganda?What will be my gain if I do that?
