Muslim-Muslim ticket: We will not support you – Northern APC Christian Forum

The Northern APC christian forum has said that it will not support the Muslim-Muslim ticket plan of the party

The group described it as a way of treating Northern Christians as inconsequential in the country’s scheme of affairs which they urged the Party’s leadership to desist from.

The General Secretary of the group, Lukas Bako, who addressed the press, said if the plan is allowed to go through, Christians in the North will suffer

The group vowed that the ruling party would not get any support from Northern Christians unless the leadership of the APC addressed its concerns.

They further called on Christians named in the APC Presidential Campaign Council to quit without further delay in protest until the needful is done.

“The Northern APC Christians Forum is concerned that the APC leadership’s lack of respect for the Christians in Northern Nigeria has reached an alarming crescendo, which could pass for a deliberate attempt to delineate the Christian population in Northern Nigeria.

“Our concern also stems from the fact that the action of the APC can breed distrust amongst the religious groupings in the country. It must be stated that with the Muslim-Muslim Ticket, the Northern Christians have been marginalized and without recourse to the implication of such actions in the overall psyche of the people,” the group said.

“The APC leadership must desist from treating Northern Christians as inconsequential in the country’s scheme of affairs.

“Christians will not support the APC Presidential Team until the Muslim – Muslim Ticket issue is resolved holistically.”
