‘It’s an insult’ – Aisha rejects Muslim-Muslim ticket

Social activist, Aisha Yesufu has rejected the decision of the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu to pick a Muslim as his running mate.

IDOMA VOICE reports that Tinubu announced former governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima as his running mate on Sunday.

This is despite outcry in some quarters that Tinubu should pick a northern Christian vice presidential candidate.

Tinubu also admitted that he was advised to pick a Christian but “but cannot please everybody.”

Reacting, Aisah Yesufu described the development as an insult to fairness and equity.

She tweeted, “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.
