Veteran Nollywood actor and politician, Kenneth Okonkwo has resigned his membership of the All Progressive Congress (APC), following the party’s confirmation of a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket ahead of the 2023 general elections.

In a press statement shared on his official Instagram page on Monday, July 11, 2022, the actor said he resigned his membership in the interest of equity, justice, fairness and peaceful co-existence among Nigerians.
Quote
In his words: “If Muslims could voluntarily vote for southern presidents it is then a fallacy to insinuate that they cannot accept a northern Christian vice president.

“This will permanently destroy the political viability of Northern Christians in Nigeria if allowed to stand. This is in the addition to the failure to protect lives and properties of Nigerians which should be their primary responsibility. The country is also in shatters.”


His gesture follows the APC’s 2023 presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s announcement of Kashim Shettima, a Muslim and a former two-term Governor of Borno, as his running mate.

Churches and mosque should start distancing itself from Tinubu Muslim -Muslim ticket .For equality and fairness and also for the benefit of Nigeria, it should be nullified on arrival but it’s equally good for Tinubu failure . Our Muslim brothers in the north and south should distance themselves from this religion bigots Tinubu and support any candidate or candidates that present a balance structure for the peace and progress of Nigeria .What Tinubu fails to understand is ,this action shows his insensitivity to the killings of Christians across the nation and moreso ,to the recent killings in owo .Yoruba nations and  our northern brothers ,Christian and Muslims alike should see it from a one nation perspective and should distance themselves from Tinubu over desperation.

Sheepish Nigerians will still defend and vote for Money man Tinubu. I'm  a Muslim and  even without the Muslim- Muslim brouhaha, Tinubu is  just not the man to  lead this great country in such a heightened crisis. Obi, the ball is  in your court do not lose sight of  the big picture, i.e to captivate the  wider  populace

When Jonathan was there as Christian president and now Osibanjo as Christian vice, what did you gain. If he chooses a Christian vice as all of you have been shouting and he loses the election, you will still be here writing, and his defeat will not stop those pastors and bishops from collecting their tithe and offering. You guys should leave Tinubu alone, if you so wish for Muslim/Christian ticket or what ever you want, register your party
