Buhari’s former aide, Bashir Ahmad gives condition to support Christian-Christian Presidential ticket
Former presidential media aide Bashir Ahmad says he would support a Christian-Christian presidential ticket, but only on one condition.
Responding to a question on X about whether he would accept such a ticket in Nigeria, Bashir said his support depends on merit, not religion:
@Jayden_071 asked Bashir: “But you haven’t answered where someone asked if you would accept a Christian/Christian ticket.”
Bashir responded: “If the political party I belong to presents two Christians whom I believe are the best options for the country, why not?”
This is coming after there was a public outrage in 2022 when the ruling party presented a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket. Despite the outrage from Christians, Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima, both Muslims, are presently the President and Vice President of Nigeria.
