2023: Christian Youths canvass support for Tinubu/Shettima ticket
The Presidential bid of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Vice, Kashim Shettima received an additional boast as some Youths of the Christian belief rallied support for the ticket.
The group, ‘Nigeria Christian Youths Support (NCYS) for Tinubu/Shettima,’ in a press release made available to Nigerian NewsDirect in Abuja on Monday jointly signed by the Convener, Samson Falope, the Publicity Secretary, Andrew Oguma and the National Secretary, Ayobami Ibigbami respectively revealed that the individuals are people of Impeccable Character who had served Nigeria without religious sentiment and ethnicity perspectives.
“We want the Nigerian public to note that what the country needs for prosperity and development has nothing to do with religion or of ethnic affiliation but people with ideas of leadership in terms of boldness, courage and understanding to discharge duties for positive results. Tinubu and Shettima in their various capacities have shown these credible traits of leadership and should be supported by all well meaning Nigerians both home and abroad.”
They called on the electorate especially the Christian Communities to beware of some visionless individuals and politicians gathering sympathy using religious sentiment.
“The fact remains that religion has nothing to do with sense of reasoning, it has nothing to do with price of commodities in the market, it has nothing to do with the price of petrol, diesel or kerosene and even gas at the station. It has nothing to do with security and it has nothing to do with exchange rate of naira to foreign currency. So, we want Nigerians to ask questions from politicians using religious colouration to campaign on their credibilities, capacities, leadership experiences and agendas for the country as those are the skills needed to deliver,” the statement emphasized.
Tinubu and Shettima are of the Muslim belief but had both served as Governors in Lagos State of the Southwestern part and Borno State of the Northeastern zone of the country respectively with track records of excellent performances tagged their campaign manifestos as Renewed Hope.
