The recent election of two Christians as governor and deputy governor in Osun State was an attestation to the propriety of the Muslim- Muslim presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

An Ilorin- Kwara State based prominent Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ibrahim Danmaigoro made this assertion during a prayer session for the state governor, AbdulRahaman AbdulRazaq on Monday.

The prayer session was at the instance of Alh AbdulHameed Sambo, a former ally of the immediate past Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki.

Danmaigoro noted that the people of Osun State jettisoned religious sentiments by voting for the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Christian- Christian ticket in the governorship election.

“If there is nothing wrong in the people of Osun State voting for the PDP’s Christian-Christian ticket, then there is nothing wrong in Nigerians supporting the presidential candidate of the APC and his running mate, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kassim Shettima who are both Muslims.

“What should be paramount in the minds of Nigerians is the election of a capable hand as the nation’s next president and Tinubu has all it takes to make Nigeria great again,” the cleric said.

Though the event was meant to mark the birthday of a former commissioner at Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission (KWSIEC), Alh AbdulHameed Sambo, it was turned into a prayer ground for both Governor AbdulRazaq and Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu.
