Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo, Regional Leader of The Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), has raised concerns over Nigeria’s Muslim-Muslim leadership under President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima. In a report by Channels Television on Monday, December 1, 2025, he described the current arrangement as a form of political marginalization of Christians and urged the National Assembly to intervene.
Dachomo characterized the situation as a political imbalance that undermines Christian interests in governance, describing it in strong terms as a “political genocide” against the community. His remarks have reignited debates about religious representation, particularly following the controversial 2023 Muslim-Muslim ticket.
The cleric’s statements have drawn mixed reactions. Some observers defend the administration’s selections as constitutionally valid, while others see the leadership structure as heightening religious tensions. A former aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari also defended the ticket, disputing claims of bias. Dachomo’s position emphasizes the need for inclusive governance that reflects Nigeria’s religious diversity.
Political analysts note that his appeal could influence discussions on fair representation and encourage more proactive measures to ensure balance in leadership. Supporters of Dachomo view his comments as a necessary call for equitable political participation, while critics warn of potential exacerbation of sectarian divides.
