Tinubu-Shettima ticket created to defraud Nigerians — Adebayo

…Says Prophet warned Muslims against using religion for politics

By Henry Umoru

ABUJA — The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the 2027 general election, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has described the Muslim-Muslim ticket adopted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 presidential election as a political strategy designed to exploit religious sentiments.

Adebayo said Nigerians were not interested in religious considerations ahead of the 2027 presidential election, but rather in electing a leader who is competent, just and capable of addressing the country’s challenges.

Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show, the SDP candidate described the President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima ticket as a “zero-zero ticket,” arguing that leadership in Islam is based on justice and competence rather than religious identity.
