Former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, has attributed the defeat of President Bola Tinubu in Lagos State in the 2023 general elections to the weaponization of Muslim-Muslim ticket against him.
Obanikoro said this in an interview on the ‘Mic On podcast’
hosted by a Channels Television journalist, Seun Okinbaloye.
According to him, it was not Peter Obi that defeated
President Tinubu in Lagos, but the Muslim-Muslim ticket.
“Let me tell you, what defeated us in Lagos was the
Muslim-Muslim ticket, not Peter Obi. People were afraid because they didn’t
know what Tinubu’s presidency will look like.
“People thought it was a situation where the Christian in
Nigeria would be relegated, and that has been defeated because Tinubu is a
Muslim, but he is not a religious bigot that will carry one religion over
another.
“His wife is a pastor. His son, Seyi is a Christian. He was
born a Muslim. He became a Christian. Most of the people in his cabinet are
Christians,” he said.
