Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, believes that the Muslim-Muslim ticket allegedly being promoted by an APC leader, General Mohammed Buhari, in the 2015 presidential election is not in tune with Nigeria’s political development and trend.
According to the former president, sensitivity is a necessary ingredient for enhancement of peace, security and stability at this point in the political discourse and arrangement for Nigeria and for encouraging confidence and trust.
In a statement on Sunday, Obasanjo said that it would be insensitive to the point of absurdity for any leader or any political party to be toying with a Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket at this juncture.
He also postulated that Nigeria should not at this stage raise the spectre and fear of Islamization or Christianization.
“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.
“Therefore, disregarding the fact that there are fears that need to be allayed at this point will amount not only to insensitivity of the highest order but will also amount to very bad politics indeed,” Obasanjo said.
