Disquiet as Tinubu goes MKO Abiola way, tests popularity

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Sunday, decided to go the MKO Abiola way, which is testing his popularity with Muslim-Muslim ticket for the forthcoming general elections.

The former Lagos State Governor settled for a fellow Muslim and former Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima as his running mate.

This selection was made amid outcry in some quarters that a Muslim-Muslim ticket may not fly in a nation highly polarised along religious line. Nigeria is at crossroads over terrorists’ activities in the country majorly perpetrated by Islamic sects.
