Blackmailing The North With Muslim/Muslim Ticket Is Dead On Arrival – PDP

The Director of Strategic Communication of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Momodu has come out to say that the Northern Nigerians are wiser now when it comes to electing Nigeria’s political leaders.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, people must know that the North will not vote for a fake Muslim this year all in name of a pretentious and mischievous Muslim/Muslim ticket.

He added that this sort of emotional blackmail does not work anymore and it is dead on arrival.

His words, “The North will not vote for a ‘fake Muslim’ in the name of a pretentious and mischievous Muslim/Muslim ticket. The scam is dead on arrival.”

“People are playing politics with reality. Traditionally, the North does not vote based on religion or ethnicity. Recall that in 1993, the North voted massively for the late Moshood Kashimawo Olawale, MKO Abiola. That is not to say they voted for him because he was a Muslim. The same North voted massively for Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and they didn’t vote on the basis of religion. Jonathan contested against Atiku who is a Muslim from the North and won. The North does not vote on the sentiment of section or religion; they vote based on merit.”

“The North is politically advanced to be able to differentiate merit from mediocrity. The APC is campaigning based on issues, not religion or section and our candidate, Bola Tinubu will win with a landslide.”

“These people have gone extremely low and it shows the level of their desperation for power. What they have done is complete heresy. All they are trying to do is to wipe up religious sentiments to sway votes, but it is not going to work.”

“All these years that Asiwaju has been giving alms, they did not say he was a fake Muslim. He has given more alms than Atiku. He performed Hajj all the time and they didn’t see him as a fake Muslim. How can a Christian from the South say that the North will not vote for another Muslim because he is not a proper Muslim? If a Muslim from the North rises today and says a Christian in the South is not a proper Christian, what will happen? Of course, there will be a wide condemnation of such. Nigerians have gone beyond this pettiness, and they will show that on February 25.”
