Tinubu’s Close Friend, Babachir, Says Muslim-Muslim Ticket Confirms Islamisation Agenda

Babachir David Lawal, an ally of the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, has said an Islamisation agenda lies at the heart of the decision by Tinubu to pick a Muslim as his running mate.
Lawal described the choice of former Governor of Borno State as a “disastrous error.”
Tinubu had announced Shetima as his running mate on Sunday igniting another round of debates over the religious sentiments of Nigerians.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Lawal said he anticipated the decision which he attributed to those he called Tinubu’s new friends whom he accused of misleading him.
He listed Governor of Kano State as a major factor in what he called the agenda.
He accused the Kano State Governor of funding a foundation the sole aim of which is the conversion of Christians to Islam.
He added, “It appears that the gods want to destroy the APC and its presidential candidate and have chosen the instrumentality of the northern Muslim governors and their super ambitious tool and Kashim Ibrahim for this purpose.
“Alhaji Kashim Shettima is a Greek gift from the Northern governors to Tinubu. I advise Bola to make sure Kashima’s two hands are always in his plain sight and empty.”
“Now tell me which Christian will vote for the APC with the following contraption: Muslim presidential candidate (Lagos), Muslim vice presidential candidate (Borno), Muslim National Chairman (Nasarawa), Muslim Deputy National Chairman (Borno), Muslim President (Katsina); Muslim Senate President (Yobe); Muslim Speaker (Lagos); Muslim Deputy Speaker (Plateau) e.t.c.,” he added.
He said the result is that they have played on his long-term ambition to be President and have built it into a sort of desperation that justifies what he called “this satanic resort to a Muslim-Muslim ticket.”
He called the decision “the calamity that has befallen my friend.”
