Christian Group Gives Reasons for Backing Muslim-Muslim Ticket

...Urges Nigerians to Consider Merit, Capacity above religious sentiments





As controversies continue to trail the Muslim-Muslim ticket fielded by the All Progressives Congress (APC) , presidential Flagbearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu , group under aegis of Progressive Christian Clerics, North-West Zone said Christian faith encourages brotherliness, hence their decision to support Tinubu/Shettima ticket .


The group with members across 19 northern states including Federal Capital Territory,Abuja said Nigerians should more concerned about electing leaders with capacity to tackle daring security challenges and economic problems militating against the country's progress rather issues of religious and ethnic sentiments .

In a statement signed by North-West Zonal Chairman, Reverend Moses Bitrus of Arise and Shine Prophetic Ministry, Kaduna said Instead of joining to fight and grudge over the issue Muslim-Muslim ticket ,we have resolved to pray to God to give us leaders the wisdom and knowledge to govern Nigeria.

According to the Statement, the group noted "Nigeria is collapsing and needs leaders with proven track record of performance that are adequately equipped to fight the threats by insurgency with all seriousness.We need committed leaders with the capacity to deliver on campaign promises without excuses once elected .

"These among several reasons are why we disagreed with Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and other churches kicking against issues of Muslim -Muslim Ticket ."

The group however pointed out that ,"Though Nigeria is cosmoplitan state with a multi-ethnic and religious diversity, it is high time we began to speak about leadership on the basis of merit, competence, experience and record of performance in choice of who leads across all tiers of government. "

While stating that Tinubu governed Lagos for 8 years and Shettima governed Borno for same period of years, it said ," The records of their examplary leadership in the area of religious tolerance, economic development and others indices of development are in the public domain.

"We therefore resolved to stand by our faith that preaches Love for our neighbours and peaceful Coexistence without any fear of intimidation to urge Nigerians to vote on basis of records and not religion.

"Tinubu has been married to a Christian wife for over 40 years and known for his good relationship with Christians across Nigeria . Shettima was singled out as a very receptive Governor ,who gave priority to growth and development of Christian communities in Borno during his day as Governor, so why the outcry ?

"Religion should not be the basis for electing a President and his running mate".

Its sad we have allowed these politicians divide us

Why didnt you put the cut-off point at 60?

Na so una dey think so una get sense.

Faceless group masquerading as Christians

Tell me you are not daft enough to vote this ancestor.

GROUP
taqqiya muslims group you mean

Reasoning groups that are not reasonably enough to be vice president .

it's not as if i hate tinubu o, but the fact he chose a muslim as his running is a slap to the northern christians. adding insults to injury is the fact that he claimed shettima is more competent than all the christians in the north (as in, there's no christian as half as competent as him, which is why his top 5 picks were all muslims)
bat should forget it, he will not come close to winning. like he always say, "it was never his turn"

No be only Christian group...

Dont mind them
CAN has spoken and they spoke loud and clear


enough of the propaganda and mind games

So in conclusion they are saying there is no competent Christian up North right??
This is not even just about religion,it's about being honest and truthful as a human being.
Will Christian-Christian ticket be accepted?
Does muslim-muslim ticket potrays equity, fairness, trust, inclusiveness?
