warned against the Muslim-Muslim or
Christian-Christian ticket as he described
it as insensitive and dangerous with the
current situation in Nigeria.
Obasanjo who said it will amount to very bad
politics made this known on Sunday, in a
statement issued in Abeokuta, Ogun Stat,
according to Punch.
Obasanjo said: "It will be insensitive to the
point of absurdity for any leader or any
political party to be toying with Muslim-
muslim or Christian-christian ticket at this
juncture.
"Nigeria cannot at this stage raise the spectre
and fear of Islamisation or Christianisation.
"The idea of proselytisation in any form is a
grave danger that must not be contemplated
by any serious-minded politician at this
delicate situation in Nigeria, as this time is
different from any other time."
Obasanjo who described that there were fears
that needed to be allayed at this point said in
order to encourage confidence and trust
among Nigerians that what is necessary at
this point is sensitivity which is an ingredient
for enhancement of peace, security and
stability.
