A Senior Advocate of Nigeria and Human Rights Activist, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa SAN has strongly condemned the APC’s choice of Vice Presidential Candidate, describing it as a terrible choice in many ways.
Recall that earlier today, news broke that the APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has settled for Former Governor of Borno State, Sen. Kassim Shettima as Vice Presidential Candidate replacing Aliyu Masari, who was earlier picked as placeholder.
Adegboruwa in his response to the news in very strong terms condemned the choice of a Muslim-Muslim ticket urging Nigerians to reject the APC.
He said: “It is a terrible choice, in one million ways.
Nigerians, whether Muslims, Christians, Traditionalists, etc, should reject APC with their votes come 2023.”
According to him “A Muslim-Muslim ticket in present-day Nigeria is fuel for Boko Haram, incentive for ISWAP and a call for more terrorists.
Unless of course those parading the ticket are themselves complicit.
There is no better way to insult our sensibilities.
