Muslim-Muslim Ticket: Reno Omokri Predicts What Will Happen To Tinubu

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has urged Nigerians not to be worried or disturbed by the Muslim-Muslim ticket adopted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Taking to his Twitter page on Tuesday, Omokri submitted that everyone that has ever tried a same religion presidential ticket in Nigeria has either lost or was never sworn in.

He added that Nigeria is too divided for a same-religion ticket and the country is not ready for such.

Omokri added that just like same-sex marriage is not acceptable in Nigeria, the country is not ripe for same-religion presidency, stressing that the country needs peace and balance.

He wrote: “Nobody should be too worried about the Tinubu Muslim-Muslim ticket. Everyone who has tried it in Nigeria has either lost or was never sworn in. Everybody. No exception. Yesterday and today are pregnant with what will happen to Tinubu. Nigeria has left that bus-stop!”

He also added: “Nigeria is too divided for a same religious ticket, like Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket. It is just like a same sex marriage. As a nation, we are not ready for both same sex marriages and same religion political marriages. Nigeria needs peace. Nigeria needs balance!” 

Nobody should be too worried about the Tinubu Muslim-Muslim ticket. Everyone who has tried it in Nigeria has either lost or was never sworn in. Everybody. No exception. Yesterday and today are pregnant with what will happen to Tinubu. Nigeria has left that bus-stop!#TableShaker

His position comes after Tinubu on Sunday unveiled former Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima as his running mate, eventually confirming the speculation about running a Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2023.

The development has continued to generate mixed reactions both on and off the social media space.
