APC’s Muslim- Muslim Ticlet: – Dogara warns Christians against wasting their votes in 2023
From David Kuvie Bauchi
As the controversy over the adoption of same faith Presidential and Vice Presidential ticket by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) rages on, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara has cautioned Christian against wasting their votes in the 2023 general election.
Dogara continued to expressed his disapproval of the same faith ticket of his party saying it is antithetical to Nigeria’s quest for nation building.
He made his view known while speaking on Tuesday, in Abuja at a summit tagged “Meet the Church”, which was organised by the Nigerian National Christians Coalition (NNCC) with the theme; “The role of the Church in Nation Building”
He called on Christians to resist the temptation to waste their votes in the 2023 general elections.
“Every Christian knows that our God does not tolerate waste,” he stated.
“It is unchristian for the church to waste anything given to us from above as we own nothing except what is giving to us from above.”
He commended the church in Nigeria for “shaken off the beast of complacency of the past into fire speaking up and resisting measures adopted by some political platforms that will hamper nation building.”
Dogara expressed regret that the APC ignored warnings by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Catholic Secretariate, ECWA church and many other church bodies and adopted the same faith ticket in a manner that negated the fundamentals of nation building.
He said the party’s decision disregarded shared identity, values and vision noting that, “the APC adopted a same faith ticket in a country that has never attained nationhood.”
“These warnings were not only ignored but dismissed in one fell swoop by the APC presidential candidate who strangely believes that he can build a strong, secure and viable nation-state without first forging a shared identity, vision and values for our people thereby enabling us transit from citizens of a country into a nation of people with strong shared identity and values,” he observed.
“In their convoluted posturing, they have placed state – building ahead of nation building; a task never before achieved in history and we need no seer to tell us that such endeavor is guaranteed to end in spectacular failure. No divided people have ever built any civilization.
