Each election year brings us opportunity to make choices. From the wards where we have our councilors to the Local Government where we have our Local Government Chairmen and State legislators, to the Federal Constituency which gives us our House of Representatives members, the Senatorial District from where our Senators emerge, the states the produce the Governors and the federation where we have our president elected. Though our opportunities are shaped by the political parties which present us the available alternatives, we have options from which to exert our choices. Again in 2023, Nigeria is going to have a general election to especially elect the President of Nigeria. Front line candidates have emerged from the various political parties and we have the duty to make our choices from among them. What we all should be doing now is trying to know them, assess them, evaluate them and choose accordingly by voting for the best candidate. The People's Democratic Party (PDP) have pres

Fellow Nigerians, let us take a little peep into the personality of the APC Presidential flag bearer in the 2023 Presidential Election - Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Countrymen and women, as the election draws nearer it is our duty to bring the candidates to the people. This is to enable the electorate make informed choices at the polls.

WHY ALL MUSLIMS IN NIGERIA SHOULD REJECT THE TINUBU-SHETTIMA (MUSLIM-MUSLIM) PRESIDENTIAL TICKET Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both.” [Quran, 4:135] “And the heaven He raised and imposed the balance. That you not transgress the balance. And establish weight in justice and do not make deficient the balance.” [Quran, 55:7-9] Dear Muslim brothers and sisters, the argument against the TINUBU-SHETTIMA ticket as Muslim-Muslim ticket is in no way an argument against Islam. It is rather an argument for justice, moderation, fairness and balance which Islam also upholds. The pairing of Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Sen. Kashim Shettima on the APC presidential ticket is unjust, unfair, inordinate, irresponsible and insensitive. Teachings of Islam holds that every Muslim should 'Stand up firmly for justice, as a witness to God, even as against yourselves or your parents or your kin, and whether it be against rich or poor. &
