On Wednesday, the wife of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Remi Tinubu, discussed the possibility of a Christian-Christian ticket in the future.
According to the lawmaker, the ruling party’s Muslim-Muslim ticket has paved the way for a Christian ticket in elections after 2023.
Remi reportedly said this while addressing women at the APC South-West women’s presidential rally in Lagos on Wednesday.
Despite public outrage, the APC chose a Muslim-Muslim ticket in the 2023 election.
Tinubu chose Kashim Shettima, the former governor of Borno State and a Muslim, as his running mate.
As a result of the development, some disgruntled Christians in the ruling party withdrew their support for the party’s presidential candidate.
Remi, while speaking at the rally on Wednesday, said;
As regards the Muslim-Muslim ticket, this one will set the tone for the future. Sometime in the future, we will have a Christian-only ticket. What God has done in our land is marvellous.
We thank you for coming out in large numbers despite the challenges. My coming here is another homecoming. About 23 years ago, God blessed my husband to become the governor, and I supported him as the first lady.
I want to thank the people of Lagos Central for sending me to represent them. I am the first woman to emerge as a Senator three times. This is a fantastic opportunity, and I have been working for the good of our people since 2007 when my husband left office.
