Matthew Hassan Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, has strongly frowned at the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.
The Catholic Bishop, while speaking with Channels Television on Thursday, insisted that the ticket was a setback to the country’s national integration.
The APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, against the outcry by Nigerians, went to pick Kashim Shettima as his running mate.
However, Kukah wondered if Muslims would accept a Christian-Christian presidential ticket.
He said: “But moving forward, the question I have asked my friends who are Muslims, especially those who are from northern Nigeria, is a simple question: ‘Would Muslims in Nigeria or northern Nigeria be ready to make the same concession that Christians made in 1984 and 1993?
“I think that as a Christian, this is totally reprehensible. It is not acceptable to me, but that is the decision of the APC as a party. Perhaps, when the campaign starts, we will hear what people have to say.”
