Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has declared his stance on the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
According to him, there are issues with the same faith ticket. He also said the choice was that of the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, adding that the decision was made in the best interest of the country.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday night, the former minister admitted that no real Christian would be pleased with such a selection. However, the APC chieftain emphasized that there is nothing wrong with the choice.
“Obviously, there are issues with the same faith ticket. There are issues with that. Any Christian that will tell you he is particularly happy with that, then seriously speaking, cannot be a real Christian.
“But as far as I’m concerned, it’s simply an issue of choice. The issue of Fulanisation we talked about has been thrown out of the window because the party we accused of that has shifted power to the South. When I joined the APC, I realised that things have completely changed.
“A country where we have about 22 Christian governors, with the whole of the Southwest all Christian Governors, tells you that this country cannot be Islamised and out party, the APC is not interested in that. We have reformed. We are moving forward,” Fani-Kayode opined.
