Rev. Hayab, in an interactive session with some journalists in Kaduna, said he will not make parties running same faith relevant, adding that the people will decide which food to eat on the deal day.
He said: “Why would anyone worry about Muslim-Muslim ticket when there are several options and there are even Christian candidates in some political parties.
“Tell Christians that CAN says when we have more than 10 political parties, why should we be bothered about the choice of one party,” he said.
The cleric further noted that the idea of a Muslim-Muslim ticket by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state is an insult to Christians who are members of APC on assumed idea that they are not competent enough, explained that there is need for political parties to be sensitive and reflect Federal character.
“The constitution says leadership in Nigeria should reflect federal character to promote unity.
“Perhaps it is the Christians in that party that are incompetent. If they have not shown that they have capacity to mobilize support for the party.
“Those who think they don’t need us, there is no.problem. A man who is hardened like Pharoah cannot change.
“Those who used to argue about 2019 or 1993, should know that times have changed,” he warned. http://APC.com
Reverend Hayab said that, “What I will tell Christians in Kaduna State is that there are several political parties, if one says he doesn’t need you, go fo another.
“We will eat the food that will not cause our body problem. There are different ways of eating food. You may choose to eat plain rice or balance it with rice and beans,” he said
