2023: Northern Forum Lists Three Things Tinubu Would Face For Ignoring Christian Running Mate
The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has reacted to Bola Tinubu’s decision to pick the former Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima as his running mate under the All Progressives Congress.
NEF in its reaction stated that the presidential candidate of APC would face three issues for settling for a Muslim-Muslim ticket in the 2023 presidential election.
The spokesman of NEF, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, in a post on Twitter on Sunday said Christians would walk away following his decision to pick a Muslim as running mate.
Baba-Ahmed further stated that all Muslims will align with the presidential ambition of Tinubu.
He noted that the decision of the former Governor of Lagos State to pick Shettima as the vice-presidential candidate of the APC will not make any difference to his electoral fortunes.
Baba-Ahmed in the post asked if the faiths of our leaders are important to how they lead.
The NEF spokesman wrote, “Now that BAT has decided on Muslim-Muslim, 3 things are possible: All Christians will walk away from his ticket.
“All Muslims will line up behind his ticket.
“It will not make any difference to his electoral fortunes. Are the faiths of our leaders that important to how they lead?”
