The Presidency Has Decided To Choose A Christian Senate President – Kashim Shettima

The Presidency has come out to explain its decision to back a Christian as a Senate President.

Vice-President, Kashim Shettima recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the party came up with the consensus ticket of Senator GodsWill Akpabio as Senate President plus Jibrin Barau as Deputy in the interest of the stability of the country, and that will remain the final decision.

He added that Nigeria cannot afford to have a Muslim as a Senate President since both the President and VP are Muslims.

His words, “Here we are with a Muslim president and a Muslim vice president in a multi-ethnic, multi-religious polity like ours. I was a child of circumstance.”

“Equity, justice, and fairness demand that the number three citizen of this country should be of the Christian faith. What binds us together supersedes whatever divides us. But most importantly, we should make deliberate efforts to take inclusivity in governance.”

WOW.
