Embattled Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah, has kicked at the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.
Bishop Kukah, who spoke on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Thursday, described the Tinubu/Shettima ticket as “reprehensible and unacceptable.”
Kukah, who asked if Muslims would accept a Christian-Christian presidential ticket, said Nigerians would wait to hear what they have to say when the campaign kick-starts in September.

“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,” he said.
