The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Hassan Kukah has reacted to the decision of the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu to pick a Muslim, like himself, from the North as his running mate.

According to a report shared by Daily Post, Bishop Kukah told Nigerians not to worry over the decision of the ruling party because it’s a political decision, not a religious one. He believes that Tinubu chose to pick a Muslim from the North to boost his chances of getting votes from the North.

Bishop Kukah went on to say that there is no guarantee that all Christians will vote for Christians and all Muslims will vote for Muslims. He therefore urged all those who are angry about the Muslim-Muslim ticket to forget about it and vote for a candidate whom they feel is the best for Nigeria.
