*Senator Bent says APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket a good experiment for politics of religion to die in Nigeria
By; JACOB ONJEWU DICKSON
A day to the Presidential election, an All Progressives Congress (APC) senior party woman and the party’s critical stakeholder in Adamawa State, Senator Grace Jackson Bent has said that the Muslim-Muslim Presidential ticket of the party is a good experiment that one day in Nigeria, politics of religion will die.
Grace said this yesterday, while addressing hundreds of grassroots mobilizers for APC across the Southern Senatorial District of Adamawa with a call on them to vote for Chief Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the party’s presidential flag bearer.
The gathering was mostly women and youth, who were hosted at Galaxy Hotel in Demsa Local Government Area of Numan Federation and were enjoined by Bent to shun blackmailers who are using religion for their selfish reasons.
The Adamawa Southern Senatorial is a Christian dominated district, which she said, should not be caged or be made sentimental over the Muslim-Muslim ticket, but rather, look at it as another hope for the country to one day have a Christian-Christian ticket also.
Grace who represented the Adamawa Southern Zone in 2007 to 2011 called the attention of the people to know that All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Senator Bola Tinubu is the only option of true leadership for the people of Nigeria, not on the basis of religion.
She said her good works while at the National Assembly gave her the “Goggo” which means Mother for all.
According to her, since people believe in her style of leadership, they should be rest assured that she will take them to where the dividends of democracy can be realized. And Tinubu has all the dividends as such, they should follow her to Nigeria’s great destiny.
She charged them to ignore all rumbles of religious propaganda against Tinubu and vote for him because of his carved niche of political proven track records.
Senator Grace came down to her people with the belief that all politics is local to strengthen her foundational base of no fault for Tinubu to get votes from her immediate constituency.
“I bring you the man of the moment, a builder of men and nation. Tinubu is a house-hold name in Nigerian politics. We don’t have an option outside him, is the only joker for Saturday’s election,” Bent said.
She also told the people that Tinubu is hale and hearty, her interaction with him showed his mental alertness and physical fitness is in tact.
“He can even engage one for hours without being tired and therefore, disregard propaganda on his health status.
“Never allow anyone to deceive you that politics is religion, religion is of our mind, while politics is a game of interest. Come to think of it, we had many vice presidents before who are Christians, was there anything good done for the Christians in the North?
“Today you are still following me because of the many good things I was able to bring to you while a Senator. Still follow me to take you to that place of rest with Tinubu. I will take you to him because is a leader who is pathfinding the road to Nigeria’s great destiny.
“Make sure your votes are counted for Tinubu on Saturday and leave the rest to me. Don’t try to waste your votes elsewhere, Tinubu by the Grace of God, is the next president of Nigeria,” she said.
At the meeting, Hon Bema Ovaldi, Hon Anna Titsi Sini, Hajiya Sa’adadu Madawaki, and Alhaji Uba Dan’arewa who are APC notable men and women, charged the mammoth crowd to pay back the good works of Senator Bent by voting Tinubu.
They collectively reiterated that Tinubu is a great politician in Nigeria with his loaded experience, he can hit the ground running with his handy blueprint of administration.
They worried that weaker politicians find politics of religion as their surviving strength. This they said, will end up during Tinubu’s regime.
“We are all Christians and the Muslim-Muslim ticket is to further strengthen the oneness and togetherness of the country,” Anna said.
“Grace is a Mother who has a direct link with Tinubu, the relationship is going to better off for the people of Adamawa. Make sure your votes are counted for Bola Tinubu that is the only weapon she will use to fight for your rights,” Bema said.
“The election of Nigeria has been perfected to favour Tinubu. Grace is one of Tinubu’s right-hand woman. God has given us Grace to unite our country. Don’t spoil this privilege for the people of Adamawa please,” Uba said.
The women, youth in high spirits, sang solidarity songs of APC winning the presidential election and assured Senator Grace Bent of bloc votes for Tinubu.
