Bola Ahmed Tinubu - I Have Met With A Delegation Of Northern Pentecostal Bishops


The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, says he met with Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria on Thursday to discuss important national issues. The forum was led by Archbishop John Praise of Dominion Chapel International Church, Abuja.

Tinubu's quote on Facebook below:

"Earlier today at a lively, productive and amiable meeting with a delegation representing the Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria, we discussed important issues of national significance as well as my determination to deliver unity, harmony and lasting peace to Nigeria,”  The forum was led by Archbishop John Praise of Dominion Chapel International Church, Abuja.

This is coming admist continuous backlash and heavy criticism by some Nigerians on the APC's decision to flaunt a Muslim Muslim ticket in the forth coming Presidential election.

Notable is the Northern APC Christian leaders, led by former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, they have publicly express their rejection for Tinubu’s decision to select a Muslim running mate from the North. The group swore to work against Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.

Mr Lawal described the decision as “demonic plot” to eliminate northern Christians from positions of power.

Likewise, Honourable, Yakubu Dogara, a. former Speaker of the House of Representatives made renewed threats to mobilise northern Christian electorate to vote against Tinubu in the February 25, 2023 poll.

Dogara had predicted that adopting a Muslim-Muslim ticket was a fruitless political effort that was “doomed to end in spectacular failure.”

Yakubu Dogara, made the statement while delivering his keynote address at a summit tagged ‘Meet The Church,’ organised by the Nigeria National Christian Coalition on Tuesday.
