‘Impunity of the worst kind,’ Aisha Yesufu condemns APC Muslim-Muslim ticket
by Ebor Cletus Ralph Jr
The choice of a Muslim running mate by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has been criticised by political activist Aisha Yesufu.
On Sunday in Daura, Katsina State, the national leader named Kashim Shettima, the former governor of Borno State, as his running mate.
He said he settled for Shetima based on his competence and ability to deliver.
Reacting to the development via her verified Twitter handle on Sunday, the co-convener of #BringBackOurGirls Movement said the decision was at variance with the principles of justice and equity.
She added that the decision by the ruling APC was symptomatic of its lack of regard for Nigerians.
She said: “A Muslim-Muslim ticket is an insult to fairness, equity and justice. It is see finish. It is impunity of the worst kind. It is disrespect to people of the federal Republic of Nigeria. It shows they have little regards for people and think their structure is more valuable.
“The present disastrous President in office is a Muslim who has gathered other Muslims in a very unfair & disproportionate manner around him to lead the country into the sorry state it is in. People have been crying about this unfairness & his party presents Muslim-Muslim ticket!”
