Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Controversy is currently trailing the All Progressive Congress (APC), Kaduna Governorship candidate, Alhaji Uba Sani\u2019s choice of Dr. Hadiza Balarabe as his running mate for the 2023 election.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that Sani on Monday night, announced Governor Nasir El-Rufai\u2019s deputy, Dr. Hadiza Balarabe as his running mate, throwing up a Muslim\/Muslim ticket.<\/p>\n

The development is a complete departure from political arrangement of Muslim\/Christian ticket, which has been in practice in the State.<\/p>\n

Although, Governor Nasir El-rufai introduced the Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2021, after the death of his late deputy Bananas, many political observers in the State are not happy that Christians in the State have been sidelined.<\/p>\n

Former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chairman in Kagarko LGA, Dr. Moses Wada said introducing Muslim-Muslim ticket in the State is to weaken Christianity in the State.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never seen a situation where there are Muslims, Christians in the State, and just because one religion has the upper hand, they decided to sideline the other religion. It\u2019s not done in a democratic setting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On his own part, Mrs. Ruth Alibaba, former Director-General, PDP women wing in the 2015 election in Kaduna State said politics does not discriminate against religion, adding that everybody must be carried along.<\/p>\n

\u201cA situation where one religion is sidelined, it means, there is an interior motive on the part of the ruling government,\u201d she said<\/p>\n

According to her, \u201cwho will speak for Christians when the ugly things happen? Who will Christian elders run to in the Government House when their rights are violated?\u201d<\/p>\n

Also speaking to DAILY POST on the sideline of the Muslim-Muslim ticket, an Imam, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa noted that everyone must be given an equal opportunity since Government is for the people and not for a section.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Rhoda Adebowale said Christians were already facing serious victimisation in the State, with their rights being denied by the government at the state level.<\/p>\n

According to her, \u201call forms of criminalities- banditry, kidnapping are all aimed at silencing Christians in the State.\u201d<\/p>\n
