According to Elder Sunday Oibe, Chairman of CAN North West Zone, this omission is unacceptable and raises concerns about religious bias under the current administration of President Bola Tinubu.

The association is calling on President Tinubu to review the membership of the NWDC and ensure adequate representation for Christians in the North-West zone, citing the significant population of Christians across all seven states in the region.

With indigenous Christian communities in states like Kaduna, Kano, and Katsina, the association argues that their interests cannot be ignored and that they deserve a voice on this critical commission.

The CAN’s concerns are echoed by other groups, such as the Northern Christian Youth Professionals, who have also spoken out against the lack of Christian representation on the NWDC board.

The issue has sparked a heated debate about inclusivity and representation in governance, with many questioning the presidency’s decision to exclude Christians from the commission.

And so? You wanted him to open a book that contains the religious identity of all nominees while naming the members?

Nigerians like to divide themselves into mini groups at all times

If you have issues with tribalism and see nothing wrong with this, then you're a hypocrite

Wahala no dey finish.. From the letter, it was the NASS members from the North West that nominated the members of the Commission and they all agreed together, including the Senators and House of Reps members from Southern Kaduna who are Christians. Except from Southern Kaduna who makes up 40% of Christians in Kaduna, Christians in other Northwest states make up for less than 10%.
