The Senior Pastor of Family Worship Centre, Sarah Omakwu, has maintained her rejection of a Muslim-Muslim presidency in Nigeria.
The preacher, who spoke while addressing her congregation recently, said it was wrong for Christians to move on with the new development in the country’s leadership.
Despite opposition and outcry from some Christian bodies and concerned Nigerians against the Muslim-Muslim ticket adopted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2023 general election, the party’s presidential candidate, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Vice President Kashim Shettima, were declared winners of the February 25 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The duo were subsequently sworn in on May 29, 2023. Since then, the outcry on the Muslim-Muslim president has faded out gradually from public discourse.
Addressing her congregation, however, Pastor Omakwu said: “I have noticed that Nigerians have moved on politically. We have accepted what has become. On one side of our mouth, we said we did not want a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
“And then on another side of our mouth, we have accepted it, and we are going on. So, I came to say, no, we can’t accept it. This government is still Muslim-Muslim. And some of you have accepted it. You are even wishing that somebody you know would be made minister. Ministers over what? Ministers over illegality?
