Many have suggested that the political parties should consider a religious balance by opting for Christian running mates.
CAN in particular, warned both political parties to ensure that they go for Christians since their flag bearers are Muslims.
Reacting, Omokri, a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), opined via Twitter that their picks must not be Christians.
He said:
“Having a Muslim-Christian ticket does not balance Nigeria. The government we have now is Muslim-Christian.
“Look at how imbalanced Nigeria is. Did Osinbajo represent or protect Christians well?
“What Nigeria needs is a reliable government, not a religious government,” he tweeted.
