History will repeat itself in winning this election, says Ganduje

An Islamic Scholar, Dr Abdulmutalib Mohammed Awwal where has disclosed that the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential and vice presidential candidates, Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu and ex-Governor of Borno State, Senator Kashim Ibrahim Shettima, is a very big Jihad for Muslim in Nigeria.

In a video watched by Starnews Nigeria, Dr Abdulmutalib made the remarks during an event recently held in Kano State to sensitize and mobilize the Muslims to support Tinubu/Shettima APC’s presidential ticket.

The Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje, who declared the programme open also disclosed while addressing the gathering that the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will repeat history if the election is won by his party.

Speaking in Hausa, Ganduje said: “For this purpose this time around, history will repeat itself in winning this election if Allah agrees and this is a democracy, there will be nothing like nullifying elections (evidently referring to the Moshood Kashimawo Abiola (MKO) Muslim-Muslim ticket with Babagana Kingibe in 1993 which was later nullified by the then Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida.”

Speaking to newsmen at the event, the Islamic scholar, Dr Abdulmutalib said in a Hausa accent that “Our aim as Moslem scholars from over 70 different Islamic sects and backgrounds plus our Ibo Moslems and Yorubas in the North and those from the West, have called this meeting to sensitize ourselves about this project that we have set before us which is to mobilize support for the Moslem – Moslem ticket to ensure victory.

“The aim is not to tell them that we will distribute weapons to them but to tell them of the need to vote for a person that will promote and advance our Islamic religion.

“The aim is to tell people that a Moslem wherever he is, is far better than a Christian (infidel) and where you have two Moslems, they will achieve what one Moslem cannot achieve and we want to make it clear that the Moslem – Moslem ticket is a very big Jihad for Moslems,” he said in the video.
