A former Deputy Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly and Assistant Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Remmy Hazzan, has defended the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s decision to retain a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 general elections, arguing that the arrangement does not undermine Nigeria’s religious diversity.
Hazzan, who is also a member of the APC, made the remarks during an interview on Frontline, a current affairs programme aired by Eagle 102.5 FM, Ilese-Ijebu, Ogun State.
He dismissed concerns that the party’s decision could marginalise Christians, saying President Bola Tinubu had demonstrated religious tolerance through his personal relationships and leadership style.
“We are not religious bigots. We do not promote anything that favours one religion over another or threatens the existence of any faith,” Hazzan said.
