2023: Muslim-Muslim ticket is a laboratory test for others to emulate or not, has nothing to do with religion – Sheikh Gumi

Controversial Muslim cleric, Sheikh Gumi has reacted to the Muslim-Muslim ticket adopted by the ruling All Progressives Congress APC. Gumi described the idea as a laboratory test that will either be emulated or not depending on the outcome

Speaking with newsmen at his residence in Kaduna on Monday about the 2023 general elections in the country, he observed that it was not right for Bola Ahmed Tinubu to say that it was his turn to become Nigeria’s president.

According to him, the same faith ticket has nothing to do with religion

“He (Tinubu) is a good administrator, he can do it. The Muslim-Muslim ticket is unnecessary. We all know. All these politicians are looking for votes. The Muslim-Muslim ticket is not about religion.”

Whether it would work or not, he explained that he does not want to prophesy about who wins the presidency among the presidential candidates for there are a lot of hurdles to cross, stressing that all the political parties have hurdles as the Muslim-Muslim ticket is going to be a laboratory test for others to emulate or not,he said
