A former two-term Senator from Niger state, Mr. Isa Mohammed, has asked voters not to choose their leaders in April general elections on religious sentiment.
Isa, who represented Zone A Senatorial District from 1999 to 2007, also appealed to Nigerians to give President Goodluck Jonathan a chance to fix the problems in the country.
He spoke while addressing Kutigi community at the Kutigi Soccer Stadium on Monday afternoon during an ongoing zonal campaign tour of Niger State Governor, Dr. Babangida Aliyu.
Isah said Nigerians had grown beyond using religious affiliations to determine their leaders, adding that credibility and competence should be the basis of selecting leaders in April.
He said events had shown that Jonathan was divinely chosen to lead the country insisting that nobody should stand in the way of God.
He said Jonathan had shown evidence of a promise keeper and that he would not fail to deliver if given a chance in April.
While reeling out many challenges facing the zone in the state, he said Jonathan would fix the dilapidated Mokwa-Jebba-Bida Road if elected.
He also asked the people to vote for Aliyu especially as he had kept the promises he made when he assumed office in 2007.
