Ibadan – A former governor of Oyo State, Chief Rashidi Ladoja, says there is nothing wrong with a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 presidential election.
Speaking in Ibadan, Ladoja said religion should not be the basis for electing leaders.
“I don’t see anything wrong in Muslim-Muslim ticket, because I don’t intervene in the religion matters.
“Muslims and Christians are from the same father, Abraham is known as Ibrahim in Islam.
“Some people are following Ismail, while some are following Isaac who are siblings. So, what is now my own to be fighting for one among them.
“Even, I don’t have time to fight with the traditionalists. It is only God that knows his servants; so, why must we fight over religion,” Ladoja said.
The former governor said killings in some parts of the country has heightened mistrust among different religions.
“When gunmen started attacking churches and kidnapping clerics in Christendom, people started doubting their fellow brothers who
belong to another religion,”
he said.
