Northern Elders  Warn Tinubu To Stop Using Money To Divide Christians

BOLA TINUBU 5

LAGOS SEPTEMBER 27TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The ruling All Progressives Congress and its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, have been warned  against causing division among Christians with money.

The warning was made in a statement issued by the Northern States Christian Elders Forum, signed by its chairman, Oyinehi Inalegwu, on Tuesday.

“We warn APC to stop using monetary incentives to recruit and cause divisions amongst the Christians, especially in the North,” the statement partly read.

It added, “NOSCEF is concerned that apart from the failure of the desire of the architects of the single faith ticket to cause serious divisions in the forthcoming elections, APC has resorted to clandestine ways of causing division in the body of Christ by recruiting hitherto unknown bodies in the Body of Christ to counter decisions taken by the umbrella body, CAN and its various organs.

The group pointed out that in December 2021, Tinubu met with a group in Abuja and sold the Muslim-Muslim Ticket.

“We warned that every patriotic Presidential aspirant should avoid the same faith ticket to avoid polarisation of the nation further along religious lines.

“Before the Commencement of the primaries, NOSCEF again warned presidential aspirants against the one faith ticket in a Nigeria begging for unity, inclusiveness, fairness, and justice.

“Because there was a long term goal and a purpose to be accomplished, APC went ahead with the single faith venture, with the aim of riding on the wings of divisive religious politics to victory,” the statement said.

The group expressed dismay over the show of shame the ruling party is involved in, following desperate efforts to attract public goodwill and acceptance by engaging strange Christian groups for endorsement purposes.

“We frown at the publicity they use to their advantage, to make public ridicule of Christian bodies, particularly in the North, for the purpose of causing disaffection, just to win the election.
