Bola Tinubu who is the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, has been warned about the implication of a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
An Abuja-based activist, Deji Adeyanju, warned Tinubu that settling for a Muslim-Muslim ticket would further polarise Nigeria.
He noted that “the divisions will become super obvious in the coming years” if Tinubu settles for a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

In a Facebook post, Adeyanju said Tinubu should take the crisis in Kaduna State as a case study.
“Many have not grasped what a Tinubu and his Muslim-Muslim ticket will do to this country. The divisions will become super obvious in the coming years.
“People like Nasir El Rufai (Governor of Kaduna State) are already emboldened and we see all the outcomes in Kaduna already.
“Keep Nigeria United by recognizing our religious divide and carry everyone along. May God bless Nigeria and everyone,” he wrote.
The camps of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Atiku Abubakar have narrowed down on two persons for consideration as running mates.
Credible sources said Tinubu’s camp has narrowed down on Senator Kashim Shettima, a former governor of Borno State and Atiku’s backers are concluding talks on Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa for the position of the vice president.
Barring any last minute-changes, Shettima and Okowa would be unveiled as the running mates of the two principal contenders for the 2023 presidency.
Since the conclusion of the primaries of the two political parties, attention has since been shifted to the selection of running mates of the two leading political parties in the country.
Analysts say the choice of the running mates will determine the victory or otherwise of the two candidates in the February 25, 2023, presidential election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed June 17, as the deadline for the submission of candidates for the presidential positions.
