The national leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has commenced a meeting with the presidential candidate of APC.

 

The essence of the meeting is to ensure that the APC standard bearer clearly understands the concerns of Nigerian Christians with a view to proposing policies and programs to address them.

On Tinubu’s entourage is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; Governors Dave Umahi (Ebonyi), Hope Uzodimma (Imo), AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq (Kwara), Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano); the Minister of Special Duties, Senator George Akume; Senate Chief Whip, Orji Kalu, amongst others.

Tinubu had selected the former governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, as his running mate.

However, his decision to run alongside a Muslim like himself was met with stark criticisms from CAN and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria led by Bishop Francis Wale Oke.
