The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Tuesday, warned President Bola Tinubu to be careful of the Muslim-Muslim ticket being considered by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said the same faith ticket could lead to an unexpected religious crisis across the country.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele urged caution, saying some people are already in pain.
He added that it would require wisdom for President Tinubu and his team to resolve the issue that may arise from it.
According to Primate Ayodele: “Let us be cautious against a religious crisis because of this Muslim-Muslim ticket. What I see is trouble if this is not well handled.
“A lot of people are in pain, and people are ready to go violent if this isn’t well taken care of.
“This won’t be about the presidency alone, it will also move to the states that are presenting the same ticket format.
“They must be careful not to create a religious tension that will go across the nation. Tinubu must show wisdom otherwise, a lot of things will come out from it.”
Furthermore, Primate Ayodele mentioned some states where President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will find it difficult to sell his candidature including some states in the South West region.
“Tinubu must work hard in some states because it won’t be easy. Even in Lagos State, it will be hot; he shouldn’t think it will be bread and butter.
“The election will be a very tough one for him; even in Oyo and Osun, it won’t be all that smooth in the South West.
“He also needs to work on Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Niger, Bayelsa, Imo, Enugu, Delta, Benue and Abuja; all these states are still shaking.
