The Asiwaju Ahmed Bola-Shettima presidential support group has said the standard bearer of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Bola Tinubu, will appoint Christians to key positions of authority in his cabinet, if elected Nigeria’s next president in 2023.


This was disclosed by the group’s Director-General, AIG Abdulsalami Iyaji (rtd) at a press briefing held in Abuja yesterday.

According to him, the move would allay the fears and douse tension raised in many quarters by those opposed to Tinubu’s choice of Senator Kashim Shettima, a Muslim, as 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.

Presidential candidate cabinet ko?

You can't even be the president. So forget about appointing Christians

Apc thinking they are giving Christian privileged to vote for them in thire own country so they can get a job.

Why can't say all Nigerians

Sorry to say that putting one (1) million Christians in 'juicy' government positions would be too little, too late! The irreparable damage has already been done with the Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Anyway, who's going to believe this Greek gift of an offer, by the way? SMH

What is the meaning of this

This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a long time. Is he trying to induce christians so they can vote for him?

Thanks for letting Muslims know.

Buhari also said he will make N1 = $1. How far with that?

No just allow me vex this evening

God forbid BAT thing. You mean the same way Christians got juicy appointments from bubu.

Peter Obi we want
Peter Obi is our choice

Who needs appointment when his very essence, his being is disrespected. Christians are told they are nothing. They are just infidel. Action speaks louder than words.
Are Christians actually campaigning for this man?

That's how sms was sent to delegates at the venue of their primaries stating that the issue of Muslim-Muslim ticket is just a rumour until he executed it. Abeg park well with your key appointments of christians. We are now wiser!

KanwuliaExtra:
Thanks for letting Muslims know.

Don't mind them.

Absolute rubbish.

Personally I don't like BAT's presidential ambition cause of many reasons but I don't think he hates christains. He's wife is a Christian & a pastor for crying out loud & he didn't marry her because of the 2023 elections.
The mistake he made was the Muslim-muslim ticket which unfortunately appears insensitive towards the northern christains. He was in a very tight corner religion-wise as per choice of his vp and either way, his choice was going to offend the religion that was left out.
Anyways, I respect those Nigerians who marry people of other religions different from theirs; & many Yorubas fall into this group. Respect to you all.

No be only key appointment na paddlock disappointment. Rubbish

The real lessons will be learnt in 2023...until then APC should continue in its path of ignominy to destroy Nigeria.

Tinubu denied the muslim-muslim ticket, but that was the game plan even before the primary. Don't trust this evil people

Whoever wrote this is cursed with foolishness! Which appointment? We are talking about a balanced ticket and you are here like Judas Iscariot talking about appointments? You lack sense. You are just like Esau! A Northern Muslim just finished an eight year tenure and instead of a Christian emerging as the candidate, you are here talking about appointment, pray make God no punish you.

This is APC and Tinubu playing religious politics. They will later come back to say Peter Obi, a Christian has visited a church to worship there. Useless party that has impoverished Nigerians.
