Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a prominent Islamic cleric said that the All Progressives Congress' Muslim-Muslim ticket is unnecessary.

Gumi, who answered journalists' questions at his Kaduna residence about the forthcoming general election in Nigeria, stated that it was not right for Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling party, to claim it's his turn as President of Nigeria.

He stated:

“It is not proper for him to say it is his turn. There is no question about saying it is my turn. Don’t say it is my turn.

“He is a good administrator, he can do it. The Muslim-Muslim ticket is unnecessary. We all know. All these politicians are looking for votes. The Muslim-Muslim ticket is not about religion.

“Whether it will work or not, I don’t want to prophesy, but there are a lot of hurdles. In fact, all the political parties have hurdles. Muslim-Muslim ticket is going to be a laboratory test for others to emulate or not.”

Regarding Peter Obi, Gumi said he needs to reach out to other segments of Nigerians, adding that he has to be all over the place, and not leaving politics to a region.
