Christains Will Get Appointed Under Tinubu’s Cabinet.
If elected as Nigeria’s next president in 2023, according to the Asiwaju Ahmed Bola-Shettima presidential support group, Senator Bola Tinubu, the party’s standard bearer, will appoint Christians to important positions of authority in his cabinet.
AIG Abdulsalami Iyaji (rtd), the group’s director general, revealed this Wednesday during a news conference held in Abuja.
He said that the action will calm concerns and ease tension caused by those opposed to Tinubu’s selection of Muslim senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate.
He said, “Nigerians should focus more on good governance than religion and ethnicity during the general elections. Does governance end with the President and Vice President?
“There are lots of offices in government, such that the totality of their influence determines how the president and his vice operate. However, it is unfortunate that down the line, Nigerians don’t see things that way.
“When Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima come on board, Christians will be prominent in virtually all areas of governance, and by so doing, the APC standard nearer will douse the fears and paranoia that has trailed the Muslim-Muslim ticket.
“The conduct of Tinubu and Shettima will make the fears linked to the same faith ticket to become irrelevant such that in subsequent elections, religion will no longer be an issue. They will demonstrate what it takes to put aside religion and ethnicity as far as governance is concerned.”
Iyaji also said Nigeria’s growth had been severely hampered by inflation, insecurity, hunger, poverty, inadequate infrastructure, but assured that Tinubu will tackle these issues on a national scale they way he did during his stint as governor of Lagos from 1999-2007.
Consequently, he explained that the goal of the support group was to ensure the electorate had adequate information concerning the policy and aims of the APC and its presidential flagbearer before the 2023 elections.
