Ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara says the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC is a scam Hon Dogara who was speaking in Jos recently said leadership must be woven around character and competence
The former APC chieftain urged Nigerians not to buy into the Muslim-Muslim ticket as it all a waste of time.
Hon. Yakubu Dogara said the Muslim-Muslim ticket adopted by his former party is a waste of time and would not prevail in the coming general elections.
Dogara, who is now a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made this submission in Jos, Plateau state during a special event with the Arewa Christian Indigenous Pastors Association on Sunday, January 29.
He called on Nigerians to reject the same-faith ticket adopted by the All Progressive Congress (APC) that produced the candidacy of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate Senator Kashim Shettima.
Dogara stated that Nigerians should look out for character and competence as traits required from the person who will become Nigeria’s next president in the forthcoming presidential polls.
As reported by Vanguard, he said: “Some may say it is bitter politics, but it is not, because, anyone putting himself in a position to lead others has wittingly or unwittingly placed his character to be called to question.
“This is because, without character, you can not influence people and without influence, you can not lead people. Once we know the truth, failure to declare the truth we know is not a virtue, but cowardice.”
