I’m A Muslim, My 2 Wives Are Christians, My Children Are Confused – Asari Dokubo.
Prominent Northern Muslims elders, represented by Alhaji Usman Faruk, a former military governor of North-West State during the General Yakubu Gowon regime, have dismissed the threats of the leader of the Niger Delta Volunteer Force (NDVF), Mujahideen Dokubo Asari, telling him to go and brush up on his History of Nigeria.

The response came yesterday at the Sultan Bello Mosque in Kaduna wher Faruk, a frequent face at the Sheik Ahmad Gumi’s Ramadan sermon, was asked to speak, from the elders’ perspective, on Asari’s threat to Northern Nigeria.
While accusing Christians of making the loudest noise even when they are oppressing people of other faith, he said in Benue and Plateau all the top political posts had been taken up by Christians without any consideration for the sizeable number of the Muslim population in the state.
Awolowo and Azikiwe had Christian running mates, the Muslims did not complain. In Benue and Plateau where you have a sizeable number of Muslims, the Christians have been taking all the top positions of Governor and Deputy Governor, Speaker yet the Christians don’t complain. Christians complain a lot even when they are oppressing other people.
Asari-Dokubo, insisting that there is nothing wrong with a Muslim-Muslim joint ticket, expressed confidence that the APC Presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu would enthrone good governance in Nigeria.
“What is wrong with a Muslim-Muslim ticket? If it is a Muslim-Muslim ticket that would solve insecurity, revamp our health sector, stop the ASUU strike, so be it,” he stated. “Tinubu is opening the way for generations to ensure regardless of the religion you practise you can have access to government.
“People make a lot of noise. Christians can do it in Plateau and Benue where there are Muslims. Tinubu would win the election; he would provide good governance and transform Nigeria. He has the pedigree and he would do it again.
