Ibekimi Oriamaja Reports.
Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has condemned the All Progressives Congress’ Muslim/Muslim presidential ticket (APC).
Dogara, who described God as a God of justice, stated that in 2023, the Almighty is opposed to the ruling party’s agenda.
He continued by saying that the Christian Association of Nigeria’s (CAN) stance on the Muslim/Muslim ticket is divine.
Dogara made the remarks while speaking at an Abuja symposium on Nigeria’s leadership crises on Wednesday.
The program was part of the celebrations for CAN’s 12th General Assembly.
“I want to state unequivocally that CAN’s position on the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket in this country, at this time of national peril, is not just CAN’s or Babachir Lawal’s,” Dogara said.
“I believe it (the rejection of the same-faith ticket) is also the Almighty’s position because we serve a just God.” He is both the just and the creator of diversity, and he wants us all to come together, regardless of our differences.
“As a result, CAN’s stance represents all of us (Christian political leaders) who value righteousness, justice, and diversity and are working to harness these for the advancement of this country.”
“In the same way that we are fighting for a godly position, every other position is ungodly.” There is no in-between. Either you stand for righteousness, justice, and inclusion, or you work against this great nation’s unity.”
