    But one of the Islamic Clerics, in the video said: “Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima are our candidates. We didn’t lie!”

    Another cleric said: “Since the Christian leaders have made their choice, we too should make our choice. Our vote is for a Muslim-Muslim ticket is also for a fundamental reason as claimed by pastors.”

    One Sheikh Ismail Murabbi Mustapha, posited: “Since before he became Borno’s Governor, Shettima has been with our Tijanniyya sect. And even after becoming governor, he was with us and didn’t betray us. ”

    As for Sheikh Muhammad Bin Uthman: “Gowon, for 9 years was Nigeria’s leader, and had a Christian Deputy. Did we (the Muslims) complain?”

    Another Muslim preacher, in the video, also said: ” The presidential candidate and his deputy are very competent for the job… We need support them. We are very optimistic that there is justice in APC ticket.”

    In the same vein, one of the clerics argued: “Both the (APC) presidential and vice presidential candidates are our fellow Nigerians. So, it behoves Nigerian Muslims to remain focused and ensure they come out en masse and cast their ballots for them. ”

    Most of the scholars express different sentiments on their preferences of the APC candidates in the mosques. Some of the scholars included Sheikh Dr. Sani Sheriff Umar Bichi, Dr. Muhammad Sani Idris.
