Before the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria, Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church was that lonely voice sounding the alarm {that a} Muslim-Muslim ticket is unhealthy for Nigeria.
Long earlier than Shettima was chosen as Tinubu’s operating mate, Primate Ayodele had warned the All Progressives Congress and its presidential candidate to not enable such a ticket as a result of it could not assist the nation.
Among his warnings had been that the ticket could be seen as an try and Islamize Nigeria and that it could result in spiritual disaster within the nation. He said that God is in opposition to the ticket and that it’s in opposition to God’s plan for the nation.
These had been his phrases:
“APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket is an Islamic and jihadist agenda that God is against for Nigeria. This is also an attempt to silence Christians in Nigeria, and it will lead to a serious religious crisis in the country.
“APC has committed a very big blunder; God will not support the APC for this mistake, it’s against the plan of God for the prosperity, unity, and strength of Nigeria tomorrow.
‘’Senator Kashim Shettima, as the vice president, will not bring anything good to Nigeria. God rejects the Muslim-Muslim ticket for Nigeria.”
When he noticed that some males of God had been talking in assist of the ticket, he said that any pastor supporting such an agenda would face the wrath of God as a result of it was completely in opposition to the desire of God for the nation.
‘’God is in opposition to any pastor or Christian chief who helps APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket; they need to maintain their mouth shut in the event that they don’t need to face the wrath of God.
“God is against the ticket and has kicked against the plans of the APC to retake Nigeria. The APC is playing God with the Muslim-Muslim ticket; they are so proud of their mistake, God is ready to fight the party for the presidential election, the APC ticket is dead on arrival.”
Despite this religious warning, President Tinubu and his political celebration went forward with the mix. However, current developments have really confirmed {that a} Muslim-Muslim ticket isn’t God’s plan for the nation, simply as Primate Ayodele shared.
Especially with the problem the US had with Nigeria concerning the ugly killing of Christians, which was described as a genocide, it’s apparent that even essentially the most highly effective nation on the planet is in opposition to such a mix, additional reiterating the prophet’s warning. This made the US designate Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’.
One of the problems raised by the US is that Nigeria has extra Muslims in authorities, ranging from the President and his Vice, whereas blaming this on the assaults confronted by Christians within the nation. The US repeatedly described the perpetrators as Islamic extremists, even resulting in the bombing of their hideout on Christmas Day.
Ever since, the presidency has spent a whole lot of assets making an attempt to get into the great books of the US, making strikes to show that the nation isn’t an Islamic nation. Just final week, it was revealed that Nigeria spent about $9 million to rent a lobbying agency within the US relating to the problem.
At the second, President Tinubu is at acrossroadsd and contemplating changing Kashim Shettima with a Christian northerner as a result of clearly, retaining a Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2027 once more would trigger severe consideration, particularly from the US. It could be seen as an try and Islamize the nation, which can have an effect on the possibilities of the President.
Meanwhile, Tinubu may have saved himself from these troubles andcrisess if solely he had listened to Primate Ayodele when he was saying it then. If Tinubu had chosen a Christian within the north, the US could not have considered the disaster as ‘Christian Genocide’, however obstinacy has led him and the APC to this.
Actions, they are saying, have penalties, and President Tinubu is already paying for the implications of his personal actions.
