Ekiti State governor, Kayode Fayemi has finally bared his mind on the All Progressives Congress (APC) Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.
Fayemi said: “I have been talking to both the presidential candidate and other leaders of the party, that we need to take quick steps that we should have taken earlier, by approaching the leadership in Christendom and explain the context of the selection that was about to happen.”
“Even if they don’t agree with our choice, they would have seen the sincerity of purpose and understood that the decision was not on the ground of competence because we have competent Christians all over Nigeria but on grounds of strategic political moves, which is what we do in politics.”
“We have to look at scenarios and calculate where the votes would come from, it is a game of numbers.”
“I think it is time for Christians to move away from the theology of disengagement – the notion that politics is dirty and that it is not for a child of God.”
