We Warned Presidential Aspirants Against Muslim-Muslim Ticket – NSCEF

The ruling All Progressives Congress and its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu has been warned against causing division among Christians with money, NSCEF has said.

The warning was made in a statement issued by the Northern States Christian Elders Forum, signed by its chairman, Oyinehi Inalegwu, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, his group has already warned APC to stop using monetary incentives to recruit and cause divisions amongst the Christians, especially in the North.

He added that NOSCEF also warned presidential aspirants against the one faith ticket in a Nigeria begging for unity, inclusiveness, fairness, and justice

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

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.”

“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.”
