A former Special Adviser on Islamic Matters to late governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa of Kaduna State, Sheikh Haliru Abdullahi Maraya, has opined that those

promoting the idea of a Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian presidential ticket, in today’s Nigeria, do not wish the country well now that it is divided along religious fault lines.

“I don’t think there is a Muslim who will support a Christian-Christian presidential ticket. Undoubtedly, the Muslims would cry out for the perpetration of injustice against them,” he said. He said that Nigeria is a multi-religious country of more than 200million people who are Muslims and non-Muslims, saying that the country is owned by more than 200million citizens who are of diverse religious background.

He stated that he wondered what the country would be should the various agitations in the land assume a religious dimension, stressing that no religion has the monopoly of qualified people who have the capacity to serve as running mates to presidential candidates if merit should be the parameter for the nomination of running mates.
