As much as Nigeria’s intelligentsia despise discussing or even acknowledging the influence of regional and religious sentimentalism in our politics, we all have to agree that campaigns for 2023 elections are going to tremendously leverage the instrumentality of such sentimentalisms as core campaign strategies.
Unfortunately, the actions of some religious bodies have started [in]voluntarily lending credence to such sentimentalist tendencies and rhetorics. An example is the RCCG memo notifying pastors of its substructures of the establishment of the Directorate of Politics and Governance and instructing them to step down the same initiative in their respective domains.
For Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, I think beyond the many misrepresentation and fallacies presented by Kperogi, one fact stands out. Pairing Buhari with Osinbajo in 2015 was not an accident, it was very deliberate. Buhari is considered by some people as a religious fundamentalist even though not a member of the clergy of any religious body, and by virtue of the sensitivity of this rather uninformed but popular insinuation, a neutralisation effect was sought.
Now, this evokes a lot of questions and gives way for some general assumptions as well. One of those assumptions is that Nigerians do not mind having people with characteristics like that of Osinbajo as running mates to presidential candidates or even vice-presidents as the case may be. But they are sceptical about having a person with such obvious attributes as the president of the federal republic.
