He said that politics was about development, which according to him “has to do with what you can do and offer, but not about sentiment, which does not work’’.

He said that APC was on a good course with the emergence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the Presidential candidate of the party.

“A journalist some days ago when myself and my colleagues went to congratulate the vice president (Insha Allah in 2023) asked me whether we have any issues regarding Muslim-Muslim ticket and my answer was that we have the same here in the house.

“The speaker and I are Muslims and I do not know how many of our members have been converted so far to other religions, our priority is about giving the people the dividends of democracy. jamb results

“I am from Plateau State, I know we have a very good percentage of Muslims there, but who is going to give us peace should be our concern not who is going to divide us.”

He said the Senate had had both Senate President and Deputy Senate President as Christians for eight good years and there was no rancor.

The House of Representatives deputy speaker noted that some of the emotions and sentiments being expressed were basically from those who wanted to cheaply gain access to power causing confusion within the society.

He said that what should be paramount in the minds of the people should be competency, efficiency, and who could deliver and give the country the best.

He said that there was no doubt that the choice of Tinubu “is from God’’, who had given out his best and had been in the political terrain for years.

Wase said that Tinubu had developed people, adding that there was no segment of the society where someone he had assisted would not be found.
