“First of all, nobody should aspire to be president of this country if he knows there will be religious dichotomy in the system.
“You will antagonise the Christian majority in this country. It’s a direct attack on them and even in your own zone because when it comes to religion, Nigerians take religion first.
“Now, you jeopardise the whole of the Christians in the North, in the Southsouth, in the Southeast.
“If it is based on competence, Tinubu, who has one degree in business administration, cannot beat professor Osinbajo. So, competence in what? Who examines this competence? Is it an exam?
“So, in any case, maybe given that Shettima is the most competent person from the north, which exam did he take?
“Islam preaches justice. Why can’t they see this? No Muslim would want to live in acrimonious relationship with his neighbour.
“See, me, B.D. Lawal, a Christian, APC chieftain, a friend of Bola Tinubu, how will I go to Adamawa and stay on the podium and say vote for Bola and his Muslim-Muslim ticket?” -Engr. Babachir Lawal, Former SGF
