Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Controversial Islamic cleric, Ahmed Gumi has said the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu\u2019s choice of running mate has nothing to do with religion.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the media space has been flooded with reactions of many stakeholders who are registering their grievances on Tinubu\u2019s decision to pick a fellow Muslim, Kashim Shettima as his running mate for the 2023 presidential elections.<\/p>\n

Many party members have continued to resign their membership of the party since the announcement was made on Sunday.<\/p>\n

However, some party members have argued that there is nothing wrong with the decision, stressing that the only way the party can emerge victorious in 2023 is to have a Muslim vice presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Gumi, in an exclusive chat with DAILY POST on Tuesday, said the Muslim-Muslim ticket was just a strategy to win the election.<\/p>\n

According to him, the electorates, particularly the aggrieved ones, have the right to vote for their preferred candidate.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cIt has nothing to do with religion. It\u2019s pure vote-getting strategy and nothing more. It now depends on the voter to choose from a wide range of choices\u201d.<\/p>\n
