The All Progressives Congress (APC) has inaugurated its special duties stakeholders directorate for the party’s 2023 Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).
Speaking at the well attended ceremony by leadership and members, yesterday in Abuja, Governor Muhammed Badaru Abubakar, who doubled as Guest of Honour and Inaugurator of the special duties directorate, charged members to hit the ground running in actualizing their mandate of allaying the fears which have been widely expressed on the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC for 2023 presidential election.
Saying there is nothing to fear in the combination of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kassim Shettima leading the country after President Muhammadu Buhari, the Jigawa State Governor said their track records of performance as Nigerian leaders of presidential and vice presidential candidate of the APC for 2023 election speak for them.
He concluded by urging Nigerians to eschew religious sentiments and vote for performance by the duo of Tinubu and Shettima who have leadership capacities and capabilities to truly lead Nigeria to the promised land after the current tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking in a similar vein, Senator Grace Bent, Chairman of the APC-PCC Special Duties Directorate, remarked that the Tinubu-Shettima combination is a win-win ticket for the APC and all Nigerians.
Quoting Asiwaju Tinubu, Senator Bent said if Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not Islamised his wife who is a Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and Lagos State where he has remained an iconic leader since 1999, there isnothing to fear by Nigerian Christians and the body of Christ in the country generally as Asiwaju was the one that returned most of the mission colleges to their owners during his tenure as Lagos State governor between 1999 and 2007.
Finally, Senator Bent remarked that as leaders in their respective states, the APC flag bearers in next year’s presidential election, did demonstrate equity and fairness to their citizens irrespective of their social status and religious affiliations.
Saying that there have been huge testimonies about Senator Shettima’s assistance to Christians and the church in Borno State and Northeastern Nigeria generally at the height of the Boko Haram insurgency, Senator Bent stated that “Tinubu is a friend of Christians”.
Other dignitaries that graced the inauguration include Bishop John Paul, the General Overseer of Last Day Army Ministries and Sheikh Mallam Kaka, Chief Imam of Karamagigi, Abuja./SHARE THIS
