Naja’atu Muhammad: The APC Presidential Ticket Should Have Gone To Osinbajo, Not Tinubu

By Gideon Njoku

A Commissioner on the Police Service Commission, PSC,  who represents the Civil Society on the Commission, Naja’atu Muhammad, has blamed the Yoruba Nation for supporting Bola Tinubu to clinch the Presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC, instead of the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

” If Yorubas were serious they would have backed (Yemi) Osinbajo, not Tinubu.”

Muhammad resigned on Saturday as the Director of the Civil Society to Tinubu/Shettima APC Presidential Campaign Council on Friday, 19th January, 2023 after she attended the Presidential Rally in Yola, Adamawa State.

She said Tinubu is neither physically nor mentally fit to be President, and disclosed that in Yola, they had to beg that the microphone be taken away from the APC Presidential Candidate.

Resigning from both the office and the Party, she posited that “my dream for a better Nigeria is a bigger motivating factor than party politics.”

Both Tinubu and Osinbajo were aspirants in the APC Presidential Primary. Tinubu defeated the Vice President after an, almost, bitter campaign.

Explaining why Osinbajo could have been the best  candidate for APC,  she said,  he was denied the ticket because some people have taken over Nigeria as their personal property.

Muhammad: “But Nigeria has become the personal property of some elite. If you had given me Osinbajo, I swear I would have put my life on the line for Osinbajo, because he is a better person, he’s open, he’s proactive and he puts his eye on the ball and looks at Nigeria holistically.

“The few months that he was given to act he changed things, so why should I be sentimental. If the Yorubas were serious why not give it to Osinbajo, who is a Pastor. You are doing Muslim-Muslim now. The Holy Prophet said a just atheist is better than an unjust Muslim.

“So, why do I care about Muslim-Muslim? But they are busy not only galvanizing the polity but deceiving people, how Islamic are they? Somebody that could not even read Fatiha is calling himself a Muslim, without Fatiha you can’t pray, which means he has never prayed, what nonsense is that?

“I don’t care about a Muslim-Muslim ticket, but because Nigeria is a nation of ignorance, sheep’s been driven to the slaughter house. That is why our ruling class deliberately took education from the people especially in the North”

Muhammad has declared she would work with the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
