A former Minister in President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet, Solomon Dalung has accused the All Progressives Congress of having a hidden agenda with the Muslim-Muslim ticket it is flying.
Dalung who is now the Social Democratic Party’s candidate for the House of Representatives, Langtang North/Langtang South Federal Constituency of Plateau state, said the APC has introduced a dimension that is going to make it impossible for it to be an option for Nigerians to consider.
The former Minister also described the ticket as the highest manifestation of religious intolerance and insensitivity to the sentiments of Nigerians.
He said in an interview with Punch;
I don’t think so. It is going to be a serious and herculean task for the party to win because, apart from squandering the goodwill of managing the country in the past seven years, the APC has also introduced a dimension that is going to make it impossible for it to be an option for Nigerians to consider. If it had performed, Nigerians would have overlooked the issue of the same religious ticket it introduced.
It’s the highest manifestation of religious intolerance and insensitivity to the sentiments of Nigerians and an attack on our diversity that has squandered the goodwill of Nigeria.
Dalung also accused APC Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu of playing the script of an unpatriotic political elite that uses religion to manipulate people and access power.
