Kingsley Moghalu, a former presidential candidate, has said
the Muslim-Muslim ticket of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of
All Progressives Congress (APC) is a “political calculation”, and not a
declaration of religious war.
Tweeting on Friday, Moghalu, who lost the ADC presidential
ticket in the primaries, said he is not surprised by the uproar the issue has
generated.
“As I said recently to a question on @ARISEtv, the APC
Muslim-Muslim ticket was intended more as a political calculation than a
declaration of “religious war,” he said.
The former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Deputy-Governor
said the storm being sparked by the decision is because of the sensitivity of
religion in Nigeria today.
However, the former CBN boss claimed the decision by the APC
and its candidate would be tested at the polls, adding that Nigeria is not the
same as the country left behind by MKO Abiola in 1993.
“Las las it is clear that Nigeria’s nationhood trajectory
has gone downward rather than upward in the past three decades. Who, or what
will be the real ‘unifier’? My answer: a fundamental constitutional
re-engineering. #Restructuring.”
