Adams Oshiomhole has accused some Christian chieftains of leading the opposition to ex-Lagos governor Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2023 election.
The former All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman called the party’s Muslim-Muslim ticket’s detractors “unfortunate.”
On Thursday, Oshiomhole told journalists in Abuja that Nigeria’s problems are bigger than religious differences.
The Edo ex-governor described the position of critics to the emergence of Senator Kaskim Shettima as Tiubu’s running mate as blackmail.
“Those leading the campaign in the APC family – if they were such believers in Christianity – had the opportunity to canvass for votes for one of the Christian candidates.
“But they were on record as having led the campaign on the side of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, knowing very well that he is a Muslim,” he claimed.
