The Muslim-Muslim ticket adopted by the All Progressives Congress will not guarantee peace and justice if allowed to sail through in the 2023 general elections, a human rights organisation under the aegis of Speak Up Stand Out, has said.
The organisation which was reacting to the publication of the final list of presidential candidates by the Independent National Electoral Commission, also attributed the plethora of challenges facing Nigeria
to poor leadership, bad economy and poverty.
The lead activist of SUSO, Rafiu Lawal, raised the issues during a press conference in Abuja on Friday in commemoration of the 2022 international peace day, organised in collaboration with the Africa Youth Movement and Centre for Youth Development and Advocacy.
He observed that Nigeria is faced with the scourge of violent conflict, ranging from terrorism, kidnapping for ransom, banditry, violent secessionist agitations.
