Muslim-Muslim Ticket: Tinubu’s wife is a Pastor with RCCG – Orji Kalu (video)

The Senate chief whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has weighed into the ongoing controversy on single-faith ticket.

The polity has been heated up over the likelihood of a Muslim-Muslim ticket by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

While the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has rejected the idea and warned parties against it, some stakeholders have asked Nigerians to focus more on competence than sentiment.

Addressing journalists at the National Assembly on Wednesday, Orji Kalu asked the Christians not to feel threatened since the wife of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Presidential Candidate of the ruling party, is a pastor.

Tinubu’s wife, who currently represents Lagos Central at the Senate, was ordained an Assistant Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in 2018.

The presidential candidate was among those who witnessed the ordination.
