Northern Christian Heavyweights Launch Offensive Against Tinubu, Shettima by Trumpcard05: 1:58pm On Jul 30, 2022
Opposition against the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress deepened on Friday as popular Christian members of the party vowed to mobilise voters against it in 2023.

The aggrieved Christian members said the decision of the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to pick a fellow Muslim from the northern part of the country as his running mate was an error that they would fight with their voter cards in February next year.

Some northern Christian leaders in the APC on Friday called on Nigerians to reject any ticket that was not mixed between Christians and Muslims during the 2023 elections.

According to them, since the Muslim-Muslim ticket for the presidency is divisive, it must be rejected by all patriotic Nigerians.

They barred their minds during the APC Northern Christian Leaders’ Summit, saying the insinuation that northern Muslims would not support a Christian running mate to Tinubu was untrue and divisive.

Among the leaders, who spoke during the event, were a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal; a former Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; a former Minister of Youths and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung; and Senator Ishaku Abbo (Adamawa North).

Heavyweight indeed.

Penguin2:


Accept that Tinubu miscalculated.

I’m sure his calculation, and that of his urchins, was that Nigerians will only make noise about the Muslim-Muslim ticket for few days and everyone will move on and forget about it but nah!

We will continue to fire him until 5am on Election Day

Ment. All the big churches are in Lagos. Have they been islamised yet? Na ment? A good brain would know that since Tinubu didn't islamise his wife and Lagos, he won't islamise anyone. Stop limiting politics and competency to religion.

Like, you could see the high strides which Tinubu achieved in Lagos such as his legacies which include Lekki seaport, lekki trade zone, BRT, Eko Atlantic, BRT terminal, high increase in Lagos revenue even at the time Obasanjo withheld Lagos allocation for several years yet Tinubu made Lagos' thrived regardless. But rather than look at these, you're limiting Tinubu to his religion. How is Peter Obi who's got no achievement whatsoever better than Tinubu's enormous legacies in Lagos? Na ment? Tinubu is a first class graduate of accounting whereas Peter Obi is only a D pass graduate of philosophy.

Also, Tinubu is the most liberal leader who always ensure he brings in intelligent talents to nurture and work with him, irrespective of their religion or Tribes. People such as Fashola, Sanwo Olu, Osinbajo, Igbokwe etc..

Point is most Muslims in the southwest are different from the Northern Muslims. They don't allow religion to cage them. Personally, I hope for when religion would only be limited to home and religious houses because that's where it belongs. By limiting religion to only homes and religious houses, this would create more secular carefree avenue for people to use their brain to think outside of the box and improve their environment. Religion or non religion shouldn't be a determinant in any of our settings. Competence should always be championed and should be the main determinant.

Now on the question why Tinubu chose a Northern Muslim despite being a Muslim. It's a political strategic move. He chose a Northern leader from the core North which happens to be a Muslim since almost all the Northern leaders are Muslims anyway.

You all know that most of the leaders in the South are Christians while Muslims are the majorities in the North. Let imagine for example that a Northern Christian happened to get the presidential ticket of a huge platform, who do you think he would choose as his deputy in the South? Of course a popular Southern who may eventually end up being a Christian. Why? Because majority of the leaders in the South are Christian hence choosing one of the popular Southern leaders could end up being a Christian. That was exactly what Tinubu did. It's a political strategic move.

That's why religion shouldn't be a determinant in any settings because it's only a personal thing. Imagine if Shettima was only seen as a Northern Nigerian while Tinubu was seen as a Southern Nigerian. That already balanced the equation and criteria needed instead of bringing in religion into the prism. Point is when you look at Europe, American and Canada, they don't care about your religion whether you're Christian, Muslim or Atheist. What they care about is your competence irrespective of your religion. You wouldn't care about the religion of a doctor who's to operate on you but his competence. Religion shouldn't be a ticket for you to get your way out of your incompetence and I'm talking about Peter Obi who achieved absolute nothing in his Anambra state.

Meanwhile, I believe Tinubu chose Shettima as his deputy because Zulum was Shettima's protégé. Zulum would have been the perfect fit but he wanted a second term as a governor hence Shettima. This isn't about religion.

I want a vice that can correct me when am wrong - Peter Obi

Can anyone control the druggie? As it stands buhari is uncontrollable, even his vice dey fear am. Speak against buhari and see yourself in jail immediately. No doubt Tinubu the drug lord is by far worst than buhari. Man is buhari pro max but Las las his plan will fail.

Obi is the best man Nigeria needs at the moment. The evidence is clear!!!!!! Vote Obi, vote for labour party

As one who by the grace of God understands the spiritual and physical implication of that ticket, I will keep warning those that Have Ears to Hear.

I boldly and clearly warn without fear or favor because I know the Harsh Consequence of that ticket!

What is Happening right now will be Pizza and Watermelon ginger Juice to what will be if the Apc 2023 partnership sails.
Many will not survive!
Reject it! Refuse it!

My Prayer is GOD open the eyes of understanding of the people to see and understand. even those who are family or close to them.

I can tell you that we'll all do the fighting together and defeat Tinubu whose greed and desperation have made him a useful idiot for those whose sole target is to capture and enslave Nigerians for religious and ethnic purpose.

That evil will not stand in Jesus name!

When Tinubu goes to Mosque, he's worshiping God but when Peter Obi goes to Church, he's playing politics with religion.

Something is truly wrong with some peoples brand of politics?

Unfortunately APC has set in motion a precedence that has insulted the the democratic & religious sensitivity of Nigerians all in a DESPERATE move to remain in Power.

I prefer Southern Christians to Northern Christians. Tinubu has already won the election even before the commencement of the election. Mark my words if the Christians continue to behave like this, then they would be so much disappointed after the announcement of the presidential election result 2023 in Nigeria. I advise them to desist from partisan politics. You can't put all your eggs in one basket

Tinubu should have remained his kingmaker instead of ridiculing himself. He who struggles for power doesn't get it. People should check globally from the beginning of the world and tell me if its a lie.

Virtually all those who became kings and presidents of their communities,towns, regions and countries didn't struggle for it. Those who eventually got it had given up and never believed it could be their turn when they took leadership mantle to meet them at home. Mandela easily comes to mind. Buhari too. At least, we are still alive to know about their struggles for power and long walk to freedom. They got it at the time they less believed it could come.

So, jagaban should rest. He's 86 years of age but still claiming 70 cos of desperation for power. He should remember it's only Almighty Allah who gives power to whoever he wishes, irrespective of religon cos no religoin in Jannat. Fashola who even performed much better than him as our governor in lagos was there, he didn't support or present him. Osinbajo dey there, he no give am chance. Maybe he'd know the supreme power of God this time.

Let's give Obi a chance for a better Nigeria. The era of bigotry of sort is gone. We are all Nigerians before any ethnicity or religion

Tinubu's religious bigotry is unmatched. Forget his cover up with fake pastor wife.

He has been nursing the Muslim Muslim ticket idea as revealed by Atiku

You can't tell me that Boss Mustafa, lalong, Dogara etc are not Northern enough to give him votes. He wants to cause religious division bc of his selfish ambition.
