Nobody can stop Tinubu from winning 2023 polls – Nigerian Pastor declares
The Senior Pastor of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Agbala Itusile, Abule Egba Lagos, Alamu David Tunji (JP) has said that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu will emerge president in the 2023 presidential election despite the same-faith ticket.
The pastor has declared that no one can stop the presidential candidate from becoming the president despite the same-faith ticket.
He has persuaded the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) not to worry about the fear of Islamization of Nigeria by Tinubu, stressing that the presidential candidate did not islamise his immediate family
The statement of the pastor which was made available on Monday, reads: ‘’Tinubu’s wife is an ordained Pastor at Redeemed Christian Church of God(RCCG). Somebody that can allow or tolerate his wife to be a minister after being a Christian will not fight Christianity. I am thinking when he becomes President, he will support the church like he has supported his wife and children.
He added: ‘’Christians and Muslims in Nigeria cannot eliminate themselves. We marry and do business together. We school together. None of us goes to the market bothered whether the trader or buyer is Christian or Muslim. So, why should be bother when it comes to politics?’’
He said Christian religious leaders need to change the orientation of their members, and encourage them to join and participate in politics.
‘’I advise all pastors and ministers of the gospel to change their orientation on politics. We should emulate somebody like Pastor Tunde Bakare.
‘’There was a gathering of politicians somewhere in Nigeria. The auditorium was filled but surprisingly when it was the time of Muslim prayer the auditorium emptied. Few Christians remained and the convener of the meeting is a Christian. As Christians, we still have a long way to go with political engagement and involvement,’’ he said.
