WHAT POLITICAL TICKET COMBINATION ARE YOU GOING FOR? It’s been a while that I wrote any serious political article on Facebook. The reason isn’t farfetched, many people are not that comfortable that I do political talks a whole lot….”Is this not Taiwo?” (A lengthy thread)
I understand them, depending on where, how, when we met. I'm Taiwo to many, Bro Taiwo to others, Pastor Taiwo to them. Prayoo or Baba Adua to other camp. In these CAMPS, you’re closer to hell for you to be talking about Politics so freely. I understand their sentiment perfectly.
Well, now that it’s very fashionable to PREACH Politics from every Pulpit across different denominations, I’m sure some of us that are used to talking about Politics will no more go to hell based on that and our SAINTHOOD is now INTACT. I detest HYPOCRITES and HYPOCRISY.
Even if I’m alone in my view, I will still detest garment of HYPOCRISY worn by the majority. #Jenwitemi…. What Ticket combination do you think is good enough for your religious persuasion and profession of Faith?
Christian/Muslim ticket, Muslim/Christian ticket, Christian/Christian ticket, Muslim/Muslim ticket, Ogboni/Christian ticket, Ogboni/Muslim ticket etc? Which one will help you more in your journey as a Christian or as a Muslim?
An average Muslim will prefer to relocate his entire family to the Christian dominated environment of USA or UK, rather than moving to Afghanistan, Turkey and other Countries that are more Muslim dominated? Why exactly didn’t it matter to Muslims while relocating? DEVELOPMENT.
An average Christian here in Nigeria sees it as a sign of prosperity and breakthrough to go to Dubai, a Muslim dominated community of United Arab Emirate..Your celebrity cum Men of God even pack everyone around them to Dubai to do White birthday party in a Muslim dominated Dubai
...without thinking about Jesus being snatched away. Why do they do that? DEVELOPMENT. Nobody will say Professor Wole Soyinka isn’t cerebral enough to lead this Nation politically. So what would YOU have called his ticket combination if he has tried that in time past?
Governor Elrufai of Kaduna State was running Muslim/Christian Ticket, and we’ve had Muslim/Christian Ticket under the platform of APC at the centre represented by Buhari/Pastor Osinbajo. Governor Elrufai’s Deputy main tormentors were never people of other religious persuasion
but his own Christian Brethren from Southern Kaduna. What was his sin? He agreed to be on the same Ticket with a man they detested on the Political Party they already demonized as Islamic Party.
When Elrufai was going for his 2nd term in 2019, his Deputy said he was not going to run the ticket with Elrufai again. He couldn’t withstand the ridicules, insults, curses etc from his own people. We would rather go to the Senate, so he took the Senate form under APC….
Guess what, his own people still punished him and voted for another candidate on the platform of PDP (THEY ARE PDP). Elrufai had to make a choice of who would be his running mate.
Please beyond all this emotional outburst, always remember that the only reason for any Political Party to be formed or any Politician to declare interest in the game of Politics EVERYWHERE is simply to WIN.
Your Primary purpose is to win election, every other consideration is VERY SECONDARY. To win election, you need permutation that will give you the FIGURE….Emotional correctness does not bring figures, it is LOCAL REALITY of what appeals in each society that matters.
Hence, ELrufai went for a Family that could give such far reaching vote in Southern Kaduna. This time around, the family with such political history in Southern Kaduna is a Muslim, and the person is even a woman.
As at the time all TV analysts were gyrating about Muslim Muslim Ticket of Elrufai in Kaduna and even TV Stations were inviting him up and down to explain himself, not a single soul saw anything wrong in Ekiti with Fayose/Eleka Christian/Christian Ticket
or Ondo State Akeredolu Christian/Christian ticket. What do you think informed the choice in each of these scenarios? WINNING! I have been here for a while. The major antagonists of VP Professor Osinabjo since 2015 are the Community of believers, especially from the South.
What has been his major sin? He dared to be on the same ticket with Buhari they love to hate. They have said everything against him in false Prophecies, false Visions, false “God said” etc….Yet the man you love to hate is still here.
At some point, some even wrote petition to the RCCG that Pastor in Osinbajo should be withdrawn. How could the same folks SUDDENLY wake up 7 years after and demanded that the same platform they so much hate with passion should pick the same Osinbajo they have so much denigrated?
How could the same HYPOCRITES suddenly wake up after 7 years to ask the same Buhari they love to hate to anoint the same Professor Osinbajo they have called all sort?
At least think like a normal human being, if you were to be such a Political party that your KNOWN sworn enemies suddenly woke up overnight to give option of picking candidate A, wouldn’t your common sense tell you NEVER to go that route in your life?
The moment the same FELLOWS that had been against APC since 2015 were pushing for PYO on the platform they hated with passion, that moment I knew APC must never fall into that trap. Your problem is not Ticket combination of APC, your problem is PERSONAL to YOU.
You never supported their Muslim/Christian combo…In fact, our clergy men went to support Atiku in 2019 and were giving coded messages every Sunday to the Congregation to support Atiku. Did they ever remember Pastor Osinbajo as “one of us”?
What Ticket combination do you really want & how is religious combination your problem? You can’t bully me both online or offline. Some of us had been involved in the likes of CAPRO Ministry & other Mission oriented movements, so I’m not one of those you want to explain this to.
How did APC choice of candidate they believe will earn them victory at the poll suddenly become the personal problem of CAN?
Atiku Abubakar is the present PDP Presidential candidate. He married Titilayo Albert, a Christian from Ilesha. Atiku ensured that she was converted to a Muslim after Muslim Nikai ceremony was conducted and She is now known as Amina Titilayo Atiku.
That was the same man your MEN OF GOD were giving you DIRECTIVES via Whatsapp in 2019 to vote for as against Pastor Osinabjo just because of Buhari his boss. Which Ticket Combination do you want?
Gov Tinubu is the Presidential Candidate of APC and he is a Muslim from the South West. He didn’t suddenly appear, he was the Governor of Lagos State for 8 years. He was the one that started that Lagos Annual Thanksgiving that our Father in the Lord Baba Adeboye attends annually.
Fashola got there, that didn’t stop Lagos Annual Thanksgiving…. Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been married to his Christian wife for more than 3 decades. Ahmed Tinubu had been a Governor of the most successful State in Nigeria and her wife as the First Lady,
she wasn’t compelled to change her religion. You think if a man wanted to go that route, the lady would not bow? In year 2001 Ahmed Tinubu, the former governor of Lagos State was the first Governor under our democratic space to return many schools to missionaries.
The action led to agitation and disappointment among Muslims in Lagos state and even his mother according to Tinubu's interview. They later saw wisdom in what he did but he didn't wait for their religious sentiment before he took the right step.
So, at what point did you begin to have your PERSONAL problem with the Muslim that Tinubu has been? Oh, he should have picked a Christian VP from the North. Ok, your opinion is well NOTED....
...but the party and the candidate in their own POLITICAL PERMUTATION towards winning 2023 felt Kashim Shettima is their winning combination. How is that your problem? Did you vote them with a Pastor as VP?
Listen, nobody has any right over your life to DICTATE to you who to marry, the work to do, the location to stay, the political affiliation to keep and WHO TO VOTE…YOU ARE NOT A SLAVE. If you want good governance, break away from your religious shackles,
THINK DEEPLY. Put the antecedents of the leading candidates before you while they had opportunity to govern in the past. Make your own choice, stop being used for personal selfish reason of others. Nobody shed their blood for you, Jesus did.
Nobody was given the key of hell or heaven to dictate who goes in or out, na grace all of us they pray for. Break away from the veil covering your mind in the name of religious correctness.
As for me, I am voting Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu. If you have any reason for me not to do that, LOGICALLY convince me otherwise, stop shouting Muslim/Muslim ticket. #TinubuShettima
