Pastor Remmy Hazzan, an Assistant Pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and former Deputy Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, says the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not promoting hostility toward Christians by retaining a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket for the 2027 general elections. In comments reported by Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria, Hazzan argues that the ticket is not anti-Christian and that President Bola Tinubu has shown religious tolerance. He frames the APC’s decision as consistent with an approach that allows religious diversity within leadership rather than targeting any faith group. Hazzan’s position responds to criticisms that a Muslim-Muslim ticket could marginalize Christians in national politics. Both outlets report the same core claim: that religious tolerance demonstrated by Tinubu undercuts the argument that the ticket reflects religious bias. The reports present Hazzan as defending the APC’s choice and urging that the Muslim-Muslim arrangement be viewed as a non-discriminatory political arrangement ahead of 2027.
