BREAKING NEWS:
AKEREDOLU ASKS PASTORS TO SELL APC MUSLIM-MUSLIM TICKET TO MEMBERS

Senior pastors and general overseers” of churches in Nigeria have been asked to sell the jaundiced Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress to their church members.

Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu who stated this, said he apologised to Christian clerics over the APC Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.

This was contained in a statement signed and made available to journalists on Monday
by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Richard Olatunde.

He also appealed to them to help talk to their followers about the need to “forgive” and give the party a chance.

According to the statement, the Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum spoke on Sunday at the 40th Holy Ghost Convention Dinner of The Sword of the Spirit Ministries held at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan.

The governor hinged his call for understanding on the need for power to return to the southern part of the country after eight years in the northern part.

He stated, “I understand our feelings because I am one of you. I am a Christian. All of us here are worried. What will be our gain, and that, why is my party, the APC, throwing up a Muslim-Muslim ticket?

“It has been a real issue for all of us; even members of the party. We have debated it, fought it and done so many things about it. I have always said to people, that my fight was for a Southern President. Now it has come to the South-West, will I now throw the baby away with the bathwater? Can I, in all honesty, do it? Should I, in all honesty, do it?

“We call it a matter of coincidence. It is a matter of conscience. All of us are here, why don’t we look at it from one angle? The buck stops on the table of the President. Do we have a capable hand who can manage the affairs if given the opportunity? Do you have a man who is bold enough to challenge incursions into our land? That is it.

“All of us here have lived together for years, and we didn’t allow religion to cause a fight among us. We have Muslims in our families and there is no fight. We have many leaders in Yoruba land who have both Muslims and Christians in their families and there is no fight.

“So, we want to appeal to our people that this is our time. I want to appeal to all our senior pastors and general overseers to help talk to their followers. We politicians can only do little. This is our time, please don’t be angry.”
