Presidential aspirant of the Young Progressive Party (YPP), Professor Kingsley Moghalu, has described the new Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP)
Kingsley Moghalu, former Action Democratic Congress ADC) presidential aspirant, on Friday described the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as more of political strategy than a declaration of religious war.
Moghalu’s comment came on the backdrop of arguments from Nigerians regarding the suitability of that decision and its implication for the country.
Moghalu stressed that the ruling party intentionally settled for that as a design to win election, adding that it would be tested at the polls.
A number of Nigerians had reacted differently to the decision made by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the standard bearer of the ruling party for the 2023 elections, to settle for former Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, as his running mate.
While some argued against it citing religious polarity in the country, a number of others said it was nothing to worry about given the competence of the candidate.
Speaking on the development in a series of tweets, Moghalu said the political calculation by the ruling party was at variance with the religious mood in the country.
