The Middle Belt Youth Forum has expressed anger over the decision by the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC to embark on a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 presidential election.

The decision by the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to have the former Borno Governor, Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate, has been a topic for public discourse since yesterday.

DAILY POST had reported that the APC presidential candidate on Sunday announced Shettima, a fellow Muslim as his running mate for the 2023 presidential election.

Reacting, a statement issued by the President, Middle Belt Youth Forum, Terrence Kuanum lambasted the ruling party for ignoring the Christian faithful, describing the decision as callous and senseless.

According to the forum, the party does not have the interest of Nigerians at heart, describing APC as an “anti-people party”.

The statement reads in part, “We note with sadness and utter disappointment the senseless and callous decision of the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the 2023 election, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to pick former Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima as his running mate.

“Although we anticipated that the party which has no regard for inclusiveness and fairness would go for a Muslim-Muslim ticket, we thought the party could for once, tow the line of honour, justice and fairness by taking into consideration the feelings of other Nigerians.

“We, therefore, condemn in totality, the unpopular, unsavoury, unnecessary and infamous show of shame by the APC as they intend to present a one-sided ticket to the people in a multi-religious, multi-ethnic, multi-cultural society in this age. We are not ethnic jingoists or religious bigots but we sure are not fans of politics of exclusion”.

I don't think Shettima is a Boko haram supporter. He bore all the brunt of it after Chibok girls abduction in Borno state while he was the governor because PDP were shifting the blame on him as he was an APC governor while another APC member Buhari was contesting against Jonathan. As a matter of fact, Boko haram insurgency started as far back as under Yaradua. They couldn't function because Yaradua fought against them.

Anyway, He needs to talk about this on media and exonerate himself.

kozmokaz:



BHT started as far back as OBJ and not yaradua

Obj is a master strategist and the north knew the consequences of going physical with the NA under obj watch (Zaki biam and odi massacre is on mind )

During yaradua , they knew with his health the implications of that also judging from how he handled the militants with dialogue ( NB at this stage they began to groom this viper of a terrorist known as BHT ) just Incase yaradua don’t live through his tenure !

Unfortunately the cold hand of death came in

GEJ came into the picture and the north knowing the implications activated this BHT using the death of Yusuf as leverage!!

NOW on seeing how profitable business is they can’t just stop it

The northern government that founded and funded this groups deep down in there heart , they really wanna end it but the army no gree cause business is flourishing lol

If the details about this bht shit comes to limelight bro , Nigerians go revolt main main

Kagd10:


Then you can't blame it on Shettima because he wasn't even in government at that time. There was a time he had even said those Imams preaching about terrorism in the Mosque fuelled Boko haram insurgency. There was a time his vehicle was even attacked by these Boko haram and some of the people in his car were killed.

That being said, I think some fanatic Northerners may have supported Boko haram at the beginning until they realise it's foolery to support such. I mean, No Terrorism in whatsoever form should be supported to begin with. What's the joy in living in a state of chaos? Look at UK for example na. Our top politicians go there for medical care. What did you think would have happened if UK were championing terrorism in their country?

kozmokaz:


Him not been in government at that time doesn’t exonerate him

This guys are master strategist

He made the enabling ground which ushered his government in

That’s strategy

popez:
Middle belt will never ever vote for APC! Never!

Kagd10:


How are you sure they were Boko haram Terrorists?
