Salihu Lukman, vice-chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the north-west, says any Muslim aspiring to be senate president does not respect the constitution and the party.

Lukman made the remark on the grounds that President-elect Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima, the vice-president-elect, are both Muslims.

“This is because Chapter II, Section 14 of the Nigerian constitution clearly outlined that ‘the composition of the Government of the Federation or any of its agencies and the conduct of its affairs shall be carried out in such a manner as to reflect the federal character of Nigeria and the need to promote national unity, and also to command national loyalty, thereby ensuring that there shall be no predominance of persons from a few states or from a few ethnic or other sectional groups in that...

“There are also the disturbing reports from house of representatives members-elect that one aspirant for the position of Speaker from north-east apart from bribing members-elect with huge amounts of money is also offering jeeps to members-elect if they will commit to electing him as the speaker,” he said.

Abeg let continue with a Muslim as Senate President I think they are most competent citizens in Nigeria 🇳🇬 😉

No, it is normal ni. Up APC!😉

That's a crazy take. NGRSenate, NIGERIANS are solidly behind you to choose whoever you want based on CAPACITY!! NO RELIGION, NO ZONING!

Exactly oo. The person is even heartless

Na their problem be that cos obi will claim his mandate and fashion the country the way it would be

Which constitution are you talking about please?

Now the constitution exist right?

Let’s remove religion from politics

Not true, infact we support a moslem to be the next senate President and Speaker. We cannot and will not move the goal post in the middle of the match!

Una dyyy mad Na muslim we want as SP

Which constitution? Anyway this is not the first time Muslims have monopolized power. It's been so since 2015

No o... it is good. Let Muslim head every other levels.... even house of reps

Respect constitution, is Salihu alright?

Lol

Lol which constitution abeg Same constitution didn’t come to play when selecting a VP

We Christian no want any post again

Competence over religion please. Give it to a Northern Muslim, they are better suited for the role.

Na lie since we can have a Muslim Muslim ticket there is nothing wrong having a Muslim senate president Abeg . Let no use religion divide this country

Why is it so important to consider other religions now ? after all nothing wrong with the Muslim-Muslim ticket.

We want Muslims to be speaker and Senate president it doesn't take anything awake from we Nigerians,

Nonsense.... U see this Northern politicians very senseless and selfish people... Is now the president is going to the south... U now no the selection of position to every area of the country... But Buhari government never considered that in his appointment... Nigeria my foot...

To what extent did President Buhari respect the Constitution that we find ourselves in the mess we are in today?Why is it now that a Southern is to be President that u want to distribute the position,right?You guys from the north should have it all.Yes,take the Senate Presidency.

Una get respect for constitution before Rubbish

Everything should be Muslim Na From top to bottom

This is just hypocrisy. If you see no problem with a Muslim-muslim ticket then there should be no problem if a Muslim becomes Senate President.

Which constitution?we need Muslim Senate president and Deputy as well as Muslim speaker and deputy.QED

God bless you

I no fit laff again sef

Dey play

We don't care. It's one Nigeria. Muslims can take all the political offices in Nigeria, provided it's for the good of the country. Any Christian competing with the Muslims on any position is an enemy of the Nigerian state.

But Muslim-Muslim presidency is fine.

This useless Democracy and Constitution is nothing both selfishness, lie's, Corruption and Vanderlization of Government property and misused and abuse of power

You must be very stup!d. The Constitution didn't talk about religion. We only have a secular State. Anybody can become Senate President. In this case, let the Muslim-Muslim-Muslim...top leadership positions continue to go. Respect my a$$.

It doesn't matter. Give it to any competent person. Be it Muslim or Christian

Lmao Why? Northern Muslims are the most competent in Nigeria. It's not a problem. Speaker should as well be a Muslim, all principal officers should be Muslims. It's not an issue.

Look at this 🤡
