Tinubu/Shettima: We’ll not accept Muslim-Muslim ticket – Anglican Bishop

The Bishop of Calabar, Anglican Communion, Rt Rev Nneoyi Egbe, has kicked against the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress for the 2023 presidential election.

He was speaking in Calabar on Monday to herald the second session of the 11th Synod of the diocese.

He said, “We absolutely do not, will not and cannot accept a Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket. Nigeria’s secularity must be respected by our leaders,” adding that everybody must have a sense of belonging.

“Having examined the Nigerian Constitution, its place in our polity, the application to our nationhood, we have arrived at the conclusion that Nigeria’s democracy is a scam. A comprehensive scam.”

“It is ungodly, shameful and inimical to growth and progress to be involved in such barbaric attempts to achieve supremacy over neighbours. These wars are really satanic and can only produce satanic consequences.”
