Nigerians react
Meanwhile, many Nigerians have reacted to the video, with some saying the motive was for him and his political party to gain Christians in support of the Muslim-Muslim ticket for the presidency, which had been rejected by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
Tom King Egwu said:
"You won't see them again till the next four years. They have come to deceive the gullibles. Shame on politicians."
Julius Asemokha commented:
"Praise the Lord for Muslim /Muslim presidential ticket?"
Geoffrey Shima said:
"No Christian in northern Nigeria is competent to be Tinubu's running mate, and you guys are still doing all this, what for???, I blame the churches that allow you guys to do all this rubbish in their church."
Joe Ose Ehovuomen said:
"They can act any role to gain relevance and acceptability in order to be voted in elections. Don't mind these APC political actors with their gymic."
Uduak Ukoh said:
"Deception extra ordinaire.
"If they really want to praise the Lord, they should have pick a Christian for the position of vice president."
Northern Christian leaders reveal position on Muslim-Muslim ticket
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Christian leaders in the North had thrown their weight behind the Muslim-Muslim ticket fielded by the All Progressives Congress (APC)'s presidential flagbearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
A group under the aegis of Progressive Christian Clerics, North-West Zone, said the Christian faith encourages brotherliness, hence their decision to support the Tinubu/Shettima ticket, Vanguard reported.
The group, with members across 19 northern states including Federal Capital Territory, Abuja said Nigerians should be more concerned about electing leaders with the capacity to tackle daring security challenges and economic problems militating against the country’s progress rather than issues of religious and ethnic sentiments.
