Rabiu Kwankwaso (on Arise News last night) expressed his bewilderment that a presidential candidate, in choosing his running mate, would juxtapose the political climate in Nigeria in 1993 against that of 2023 in light of the saliency of the politicization of religion in our contemporary politics.
Paradoxically, it was the same candidate who claimed to have recommended Vice President Osinbajo to President Buhari because of his conviction that such an arrangement (of a Muslim –Christian ticket) was good for Nigeria given the religio-ethnic character of the country.
