The vice presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has said President Bola Tinubu practices Muslim-Christian ticket with his wife in the ‘other room'.

Kwankwaso spoke while reacting to Islamic cleric, Sani Jingir, who urged Nigerian Muslims to vote for the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muslim-Muslim ticket in the 2027 presidential election.

Jingir had said, “I am one of those who raise the flag of Islam, I am calling on people to come and let us do Muslim-Muslim again.

“I know this statement pains the unbelievers. I am a Muslim who preaches Islam. If I say Muslim-Muslim, what have I taken away from them?”

Kwankwaso, however, described Tinubu as a balanced and fair politician.

He told DCL Hausa: “I know His Excellency Bola Tinubu is a man who values balance and fairness. For all the governors he supported in Lagos, he ensured a Muslim/Christian or Christian/Muslim ticket. Even when he was the governor of Lagos, all his deputies were Christians.

“Even in his own home, he practices a Muslim/Christian ticket ‘in the other room(Tinubu/Remi).”

The other room is a term associated with the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, who said his wife's value lies in the bedroom, which he referred to as the other room.
