Leader of the Christian members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 19 states of the North, Professor Doknan Sheni, has said that Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling party, has made it difficult for members to sell the party with his choice of Kashim Shettima as running mate.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Prof. Sheni said for Tinubu to have concluded that the APC ‘lacks competent Northern Christians’ means he has created a problem for the party in respect of the 2023 election.
He made known his displeasure in a recent interview on Arise TV, monitored by POLITICS NIGERIA.
“Our point is, does it mean there is no Northern Christian that is competent? Let me play with a name. Yakubu Dogara has been Speaker of the National Assembly. He was No.3 person in line succession. Do you mean that person is not competent to be No.2 in this country, that you will leave him and pick others?
“So, if he (Tinubu) has decided to make religion on the ballot it becomes a problem to others.
“It becomes very difficult for us to sell the party.”
