Don’t Toy With 'Muslim- Muslim Or Christian-Christian Ticke't-OBJ Warns

Former Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, OBJ, has warned politicians in the country of the danger of fielding either a muslim-muslim or christian-christian ticket, given the current political uncertainty in the country.

In a statement issued in Abeokuta Ogun State on Sunday, a copy of which was made available to the Punch Newspaper, OBJ called for vigilance and sensitivity on the part of the leadership.

OBJ said: “It will be insensitive to the point of absurdity for any leader or any political party to be toying with Muslim- muslim or Christian-christian ticket at this juncture.

“Nigeria cannot at this stage raise the spectre and fear of Islamisation or Christianisation.

“The idea of proselytization in any form is a grave danger that must not be contemplated by any serious-minded politician at this delicate situation in Nigeria, as this time is different from any other time.”
