Namadi Sambo ,Nigeria’s
Vice president while speaking to electorates in Minna ,said that PDP has more
Muslim leaders than APC, and if that’s the yardstick, they have an upper
hand. But then, he went forward and said, Nigeria is however for both
Muslims and Christians. His words;
“When people
bring the issue of religion to deceive you, our party has more
Muslims than APC. Therefore if this (is) the yardstick, we then have an edge.
"Our chairman is
a Muslim; the Director General of our campaign is a Muslim likewise.
I Namadina Namadina Sambo is a Muslim. It is only our presidential
candidate that is a Christian.
"In APC,
their chairman is a Christian, their Campaign Director General is
a Christian and the Vice President is a Pastor. Now let me ask you, which
between the parties has more Muslims?”
He however added
that, despite that Nigeria belongs to both religions; “Nigeria belongs to both
Christians and Muslims. During Tafawa-Balewa, he worked with Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe
a Christian, during Shagari he worked with Alex Ekweme, Obasanjo with Atiku,
Late Umaru Yaradua with Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and now Goodluck with
Namadi."
