Muslim-Muslim Ticket: Pope Has Not Told Me I Am Wrong – Lalong

Updated August 10, 2022

Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau state on Wednesday criticised Christians who oppose his acceptance to serve as the Director General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Organization, stating that as a Catholic with the highest Papal award, the Pope has not told him what he is doing is wrong.

Since the emergence of Bola Tinubu as the APC presidential candidate, the ex-Lagos governor picked former Borno Governor, Kashim Shettima as his running mate.

The development has since generated controversy, especially among the Christian folks including the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) who have since rejected the Muslim-Muslim ticket.


Despite defending his choice of Shettima as his running mate, critics have remained adamant considering the religious beliefs of Nigerians.

But Governor Lalong backed the idea of the Muslim-Muslim ticket after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja.

In a question and answer session, Lalong noted that as an awardee of Knight of Saint Gregory, he remains a staunch Catholic despite his new responsibility to market a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.

Governor Lalong maintained that he has enormous respect for his faith as a Christian, noting that he was elected governor for people of all faiths and non-believers as well.

The Plateau leader said he is therefore not sure where those who claimed to be Christians and stand in opposition to his appointment are from.

He reminded that when upon his return to Jos after his recent appointment as the DG, the APC Presidential Campaign organization, the state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), welcomed him.

Governor Lalong also disclosed that he met with the President to thank him for the presidential pardon granted to former Governor of the State, Joshua Dariye, and his Taraba State counterpart, Jolly Nyame who were recently released from incarceration, as well as the approval of several projects cited in Plateau State.

Is Pope a Nigerian? You don't even have head to think on issues that affect your nation, you can't think well on your own right? Keep waiting for Pope. Nonsense

...

There were allegations of M-M ticket during the APC primaries. If nothing was wrong, why did Tinubu bluntly deny it only to go behind to massively bribe & buy the conscience of delegates?

Anyway Nigeria must not end up with a President like this...

When I see people who don't understand Spiritual things, I feel pity for them.

Any man or woman who have an Understanding of the spiritual realm, will warn you about the Apc 2023. It is beyond what the ordinary eyes sees.

I warn all Again! Even if an angel tells you to vote Apc 2023, Slap the angel.
Get away from that ticket if you value yourself.

The pope don't need to tell you that you are wrong. Your brain supposed tell you if you have it.
They say you are incompetent to be a vice-president but they pick you to go wash the plates where the vice-president and his useless boss will eat. Are you not ashamed of yourself?
Lalong! Lalong!! Lalong!!! You have used your hand to kill your political future. Tinubu will be rejected and you will not be voted as plateau south senator.

If they say there is nothing wrong in Muslim Muslim ticket, ask them why didn't go on Muslim Muslim tickets in 2015? In 2015 apc said that it is not proper to present a Muslim Muslim ticket but now the same apc is saying it is proper to vote for Muslim Muslim ticket.
Iam a northerner and I know that the number one reason for Tinubu to choose shetima is religion ( Muslim ). He believes that Muslims will not vote for him if he pick a Christian and because he believes that Muslims are majority in d north and he don't want to miss their votes. But what the drug lord failed to understand is that the Muslim votes in the north will be divided into three where Atiku will go with 80%, kwankwaso15% while the drug lord will be left with 5%.
