Former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has stated that if Bola Tinubu decides to run a Muslim-Muslim ticket, he will support him.
Tinubu is the All Progressives Congress’ presidential candidate.
The APC chieftain stated on Channels Television that the party would have to defend Tinubu’s choice of a Muslim running mate in front of Nigerians.
Fani-Kayode, on the other hand, expressed hope that Tinubu would make the right choice for his running mate.
According to Fani-Kayode: “It is an issue and we will have to explain and defend to the wider population of the Nigerian people if we choose to go that way.
“I am not saying I’m against it. If that’s what the candidate wants, we will stand by him and defend him.
“However, we need to defend it. We can’t just say religion has no place in the politics of today. It certainly does, especially where 50 Christians were slaughtered in a Church in Owo the other day. In Southern Kaduna the other day, 34 Christians were slaughtered.
“Let’s just hope he reasons it out carefully and chooses the right candidate to run with him.”
Tinubu is yet to announce his running mate days after emerging as APC presidential candidate.
The former governor of Lagos State said the identity of his running mate was in his pocket book.
