2023: Why we attended Shettima’s unveiling — Cleric

One of the clergymen who attended the unveiling of Kashim Shettima as the vice presidential candidate of the APC, has reacted to the controversy that trailed their attendance.

In a video posted on social media,, Igbokwe Prince, the senior pastor at Yoke Breaker Prophetic Ministry, Abuja, said they attended the event held at Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre on Wednesday, because of their respect for the position of the party on Muslim-Muslim ticket.

He said most of the clergymen at the event had backed Yakubu Pam, the Executive Secretary of Christian Pilgrims Commission, as vice presidential candidate of the APC, but that when that option failed, they had to respect the decision of the APC on same faith ticket.

Mr Prince said Christians should accept that APC took the decision to win the election. He warned that religion should not be mixed with his politics.

“Christian communities and Christian organisations —I don’t think they are political parties. What the party (APC) has done is in the best interest of the party because every political party wants to win an election.

“We protested severally, we supported Rev Yakubu Pam, a Christian, the Executive Secretary of the Christian Pilgrimage Board, to be fielded as a running mate, the party decided what is best for them to win the election.

“When you bring religion inside a political party, it will definitely not augur well— not give them the edge to win an election,” he said.

Controversy
PREMIUM TIMES reported how some men in cassocks on Wednesday attended the unveiling of Mr Shettima as the vice presidential candidate of the APC.

The presence of the cassock-wearing participants suggested some Christian leaders are in support of APC’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket in spite of opposition by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

CAN has since disowned the men, saying they were impostors hired by the APC to fake a Christian-community support for the Tinubu-Shettima ticket.

However, the Tinubu Campaign Organisation, in a statement, debunked the claim of hiring the clergymen.

Mr Tinubu had on July 10, in Daura, Katsina State, named Mr Shettima, a former Borno State governor and serving senator, as his running mate.

Criticism continues to trail the decision of the party on the choice of Mr Shettima as running mate.

Tinubu's Bishop

Upcoming God of Men

Won't be surprised if Tinubu and Muric start a Church

Alajiki:


That's actually not a bad idea. After all church is a big business nowadays.

Hummm, let our brothers from the other side just stick to the booming Kidnapping and Terrorism business. You cannot earn as hard as that in Church business.

Are they still claiming to be bishops?

If the APC is not lying, they should mention the names of these "pastors" and the names of their churches.

95 % of those crying over Muslim Muslim ticket did not vote for Buhari, despite having a pastor as vice.

They are just pained because Tinubu did not shoot himself in the leg by picking a minority Christian from the north.


The target is to win first, then Christians can have some powerful positions in the government.

No need for long explanations. You attended because you expected a payment of #100,000 for showing up. But your recruiters hoodwinked you and gave you only 40,000. The news is everywhere.

Hunger can make some men to do anything.

He is not a Bishop but a Pastor according to the Source.

Are we still on this rubbish? Abeg apc should release another goof jareh

CAN the new opposition party of nigeria

I thought they said they are all fake. How come this one has a church and even granted interview to PremiumTimes?

CAN and those making the silly fake Bishop claim should cover their bigoted faces in shame. All those that lied that the Pastors are mechanics and okada riders shall all rot in hell fire even though hell fire don’t exist

I thought CAN said they were fake?

Most of these big churches are in Lagos. Did Tinubu islamise them? If Tinubu didn't islamise his wife and Lagos, he won't islamise anyone.

Meanwhile, other pastors are also pastors in their own right. Let everyone sink that in. Just as he said, religion shouldn't be mixed with politics. It should be all about competence.

Nigeria remains a secular country nonetheless.

CAN is a terrorist organization full of politicians masquerading as pastors.

The man is contradicting himself. What is he doing there and why did he say they supported one Mr Pam whereas he is saying religion and politics dont mix.

Check him well well . This one na confirmed APC and political man....

Keep on deceiving yourself.

Tinubu will never win.

Ok

The Christian clerics are just being disrespected by bigots for holding a different political view.
They are the real heroes of our democracy.

Don't be like "Balaam who loves the wages of filthy lucre/unrighteousness" so much that he mortgaged his soul to the devil and died.

Ok

H

The fact that CAN disown them doesn't mean they are not Bishops or MOG as overwhelming evidence has since shown.

You don't have to lie and malign BAT for your candidate.

Campaign for your candidate without maligning or spreading falsehood.

What will be will be.
