Muslim-Muslim ticket allegedly being promoted by an APC leader,
General Mohammed Buhari, in the 2015 presidential election is not in
tune with Nigeria's political development and trend.
According to the former president, sensitivity is a necessary
ingredient for enhancement of peace, security and stability at this
point in the political discourse and arrangement for Nigeria and for
encouraging confidence and trust.
In a statement on Sunday, Obasanjo said that it would be insensitive
to the point of absurdity for any leader or any political party to be
toying with a Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket at this
juncture.
He also postulated that Nigeria should not at this stage raise the
spectre and fear of Islamization or Christianization.
"The idea of proselytization in any form is a grave danger that must
not be contemplated by any serious minded politician at this delicate
situation in Nigeria, as this time is different from any other time.
"Therefore, disregarding the fact that there are fears that need to be
allayed at this point will amount not only to insensitivity of the
highest order but will also amount to very bad politics indeed,"
Obasanjo said.
