Atiku: Why Nigeria Needs Unbiased Religious Leader – Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri, a best-selling author and former advisor to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, claims that religion has always been one of the deciding considerations political candidates in Nigeria take into account when contending for positions.

He pointed out that the nation needs a president who will be fair to all of the country’s religions.

He believes that Atiku Abubakar, the People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential nominee, is the ideal candidate to be fair to all religions in the nation.

This was said by Omokri in a statement on Monday as part of his short series explaining why he should vote for Atiku.

On Day 42 of the campaign, Omokri argued that Nigeria needed a president who would have equal representation from all regions and religions in his cabinet.

He said this: “If you say religion does not matter in Nigeria, then you have not watched Peter Obi’s September 25, 2022 video, where he said “please the church wake up, take back your country”. Religious sensitivity matters, and Nigeria needs a leader who will be just to all.

“That is why Nigeria should not go from an All Progressive Congress administration in which the heads of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial arms of government are led by Muslims, to another APC government that ups the ante by having a Muslim President and Vice President.

“Nigeria does not need a President who wants to hand over the country to the church. Neither do we deserve a head of state who believes that only one religion should occupy Aso Rock.

“Nigeria needs a balanced ticket of a Muslim and a Christian, who do their campaigning at campaign rallies and non religious events, like the Nigerian Bar Association’s Annual General Meetings, or the AGMs of other professional and trade bodies.

“This nation is too sensitive for a candidate that goes from church to church, or mosque to mosque, making sectional calls for one religion to take over their country.

“And that is why I invite Nigerians to vote for Waziri Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party on Saturday, February 25, 2023, so we can enjoy peaceful religious and ethnic coexistence.

“Please join me for another reason to vote Atiku tomorrow, God sparing my life.”
