We Also Fought APC’s Muslim-Muslim Ticket – Akeredolu

Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has said that like most Christians that he also fought the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the e All Progressives Congress (APC) but subjugated his fight to the overall interest of having a president from the South.

Akeredolu spoke at the 40th Holy Ghost Convention Dinner of The Sword of the Spirit Ministries, held at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan, Agbowo, Ibadan, Oyo State.

Akeredolu, however, said that the Muslim-Muslim ticket was not meant to undermine Christians.

“It has been a real issue for all of us. Even members of the party, it has been an issue for us. We have debated it, fought it and we have done so many things about it. I have always said to people, my fight was for Southern President,” Akeredolu said of the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC.

Insisting that he was more concerned with a Southern president, Akeredolu said:

“The North cannot produce President for eight years and still want to retain it for another eight years. It is not going to work.

“That is why under the Southern Governors’ Forum, where, luckily, God made me the chairman, I kept hammering on that. It must come to the South. And when it also got to our party in APC, we fought that it must come to the South.

“Luckily, it did not only come to South, it came to the South West. Now, where do we stand? I understand our feelings because I’m one of you. I am a Christian. All of us here are worried. What will be our gain, and that, why is my party, the APC throwing up a Muslim/Muslim ticket?

“It has been a real issue for all of us. Even members of the party, it has been an issue for us. We have debated it, fought it and we have done so many things about it. I have always said to people, my fight was for Southern President.”
