Femi Fani-Kayode, former Minister of Aviation has said Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2015 between President Muhammadu Buhari and Asiwaju Tinubu would have torn Nigeria apart.
Fani-Kayode said this while reacting to a statement by former Governor of Osun State, Olagunsoye Oyinlola that Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo was responsible for truncating the Buhari-Tinubu presidential ticket in 2015.
Fani-Kayode in a post on his Twitter page on Saturday agreed that although Obasanjo spoke against it, he was the first to blow the whistle against Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2015.
According to him, his contribution in 2015 was an historic one because a Muslim ticket would have been a deep insult to Christians and would have torn Nigeria apart.

He said, “The security situation in Niger State and most parts of northern Nigeria has collapsed and this is highly disturbing.
