The House of Representatives Deputy Minority Whip, AbdulMajid Adekoya, has warned Nigerians against religious and ethnic biases in electing the up coming 2023 President.
Adekoya, who is representing Ijebu-North/Ijebu-East/Ogun Waterside Federal Constituency, said at the ceremony of N500 million fund raising for Community Development Projects, organised by the Ago-Iwoye Great Thinkers Trust Foundation in Ijebu-North Local Government Area of Ogun State Nigeria.
The fund raising ceremony was a convergence of indigenes of Ago-Iwoye both at home and in diaspora to raise funds for the developmental projects in the city in the area of health, agriculture, education and youth empowerment.
According to Adekoya, religious and ethnic sentiments fuelled the economic and security mishap that the nation is currently facing.
He beged Nigerian electorate to make it a matter of priority in electing competence in the 2023 general election.
His words, “In the coming elections, people should not look for the APC not Muslim or Christian or whatever. The level we are now and the extent the APC has taken Nigeria, people should look for someone who can fix the economy stuck facing in the country.
“People should not consider religious or ethnicity in the coming election. We, the Yoruba people, don’t care about your religion or what you believe in. My wife is a council chairman in APC state. I am the only PDP in Ogun State and I am not persuaded to join the APC.
