The General Overseer of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, William Kumuyi has said politicians should always consider the desires of Nigerians when making decisions.

Kumuyi made the remark while noting that the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu took a slippery road in picking Borno Senator, Kashim Shettima as his running mate.

Tinubu came under intense criticism by Nigerians after he settled for a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Nigerians had wanted Tinubu to pick a Christian to balance his presidential ticket, but he opted for a Northern Muslim.

However, Kumuyi said politicians should be aware that they did not elect themselves into office when making their decision.

He spoke after paying a visit to the Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, yesterday.

Addressing journalists, the clergyman said: “The Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christan ticket is a difficult and slippery area.

“The APC presidential flagbearer Bola Tinubu and his party took that slippery way to make Borno Sen and ex-Gov Kashiim Shettima his running mate.

“What I will say is that the political office holders should look at the heartbeat of the country, as well as desires of the people.

“Politicians should know that they are not there for themselves. They are there for all of us. They should ask and make their research about what the nation wants.

“They should ask and make their research on what the country wants, what the people want; if they listen to the people, we will be confident that they will listen to us when they get there.”

Desperate tinubu

Mercisharelove:
Desperate tinubu

Tinubu is too desperate.

Every sane Nigerians irrespective of religion must rise up against Muslim-Terrorist ticket of APC. Terrorists don't know either muslims or christians when the spirit of the fake prophet posses them.

EscoBAT is completely finished, his desperation has destroyed him totally.

It's safe to say the election is now between Obi and Atiku because EscoBAT may even come 4th behind Kwankwaso

Life ambition in the gutter

EMI Lokan is a loser

Ok

Why is everyone complaining as if tinubu is contesting for presidency because he has the welfare of Nigerians at heart ?
For crying out loud the man has made it known from the beginning that he's going there for his own selfish interests.

Wicked politicians, thinking of winning only, not about the people

This man will never go into politics, but will always speak up.

BTW, the only reason i ain't supporting M-M ticket is cause they are muslims.
If it were both traditionalist or even better, both atheist, I would support. But to support a religion that claims to be a religion of peace but doesn't know the meaning, the xame religion that will set you ablaze if you insult their God?

Abosutely not.

Lala, mydd

Did can think about North or Muslims when they were fueling ethnic and tribal religious conflict across the country? A religious body taking political sides now interested in Nigeria.

DID YOU KNOW
The First Church in Nigeria was built in
1842

1.The first Mosque was built in Oyo-lle in
1550 A.D.

2.The most recognized in history is the
Great Mosque of Kano built in 1582.
The great mosque was built for
Muhammad Rumfa in the 15th century
and was moved to a new site by
Muhammad Zaki in 1582.
However, history has it that mosques
were built in lwo town in 1655 followed
by Iseyin, in 1760; Lagos, 1774;

The bottom line is whether 1550 or 1582,
Islam has been in existence in Nigeria
for almost three centuries before the
coming of Christianity.

The British came and forced their
religion on our forefathers which led to
lots of them changing their names and
becoming Christians.

Next time CAN talks about Islamization
of Nigeria, please educate them.!
Islam did not just start. It has been there. If we did not islamize anyone all these years is it now because Buhari is
president.

Why is CAN even screaming islamization now that for the first time a pastor is in the villa as vice president?

There was never an Imam who became
Governor In Benue we had a Catholic priest as governor.

In Taraba we had a Reverend both in
Northern Nigeria.
Now we have a pastor, Professor Yemi Osinbajo as vice President.
Please let religious bodies sow the
seeds of peaceful coexistence not
disharmony and needless suspicion.

Not this crop of politicians. They consider themselves and their cronies first.
