Deji Adeyanju, a former Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Saturday said Bola Tinubu picking a fellow Muslim “will make the 2023 election about religion”.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Adeyanju stated that such a decision ‘will be the worst thing the All Progressives Congress (APC) can do to Nigeria’.
Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the APC, had emerged as the flagbearer of the ruling party on Wednesday.
There are concerns that Tinubu, a Muslim, might be forced to pick a Muslim running mate from the North where Christians are the minority.
“Picking a Muslim-Muslim will make the 2023 election about religion and that will be the worst thing APC can do to Nigeria. They have already divided us enough in the last 7yrs. Everyone need to be represented in the room when decisions are made about this country,” Adeyanju wrote on his known Twitter handle.
