The General Overseer of the Champions Royal Assembly, Prophet Joshua Iginla has lashed the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, for pick picking a Muslim devote as a running mate.
He described the decision as an insensitive one that has already signaled a “sign of war.”
Tinubu had picked Borno State Senator, Kashim Shettima as his running mate.
Reacting, to Tinubu’s decision while addressing his church members in Abuja, Iginla said: “I asked myself, in a country like Nigeria with too much strong religious beliefs, why will the ruling party go for a Muslim-Muslim ticket? Why will their presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, go with that view? I asked myself again if we don’t know, we are sounding the drum of war in a place where there is unity, peace, and understanding despite our differences. Nigeria is a country for all and does not belong to a particular set of religion. It has never happened before in this country. Why now?
“If we must make Nigeria great, we must allow equity, justice and sensitivity to be the watch of the day for our leaders. I am pleading in my heart; this was not the Nigeria I was born to. This was not the Nigeria that our great heroes fought for. What is going on? Our leaders, please save us because the Muslim-Muslim ticket is a sign of war”.
