JUST IN: What Tinubu Told CAN Leadership In Abuja

On Wednesday, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, met with the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Abuja.

The meeting is the second stop on the CAN presidential interaction tour.

The APC candidate was accompanied by his wife, Oluremi, as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, governors, federal legislators, and party chieftains.

At the meeting, Tinubu assured the CAN leadership that his decision to run for Nigeria’s top job is in accordance with the country’s Constitution, as he allayed concerns about his same-faith ticket.

“I seek to become Nigerian president not on religious grounds but on the Constitution. Thanks to the body for the invitation to candidates to speak of their plans for the nation,” he said.

“I believe in the need for a secular government and for us to work in the interest of the country just as I did in Lagos State by returning the missionary schools to the rightful owners.

“I never chased people out of Lagos. My choice of Shettima is borne out of the urgent need to address the challenges facing the country as Shettima possesses strong leadership abilities which he exhibited when he was the governor of Borno State. I wanted a progressive government that was why I selected Shettima.

“Choosing a Christian running mate would have been easy but that is not the case. We have urgent challenges that do not depend on religious leanings but on the best of hands that can address it.”
