All Progressives Congress presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been accused of recruiting individuals in the churches to break the Christian resolve to reject his Muslim-Muslim ticket.
David Babachir Lawal a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) made the allegations saying that the APC flag bearer has become desperate in his bid to convince Nigerians that the same faith ticket would serve all interests. Babachir Lawal said in a statement: “There are, of course, some “Christian” turncoats and “Judases” who, driven either by moral turpitude, poverty or greed, have hired themselves out as agents and spoilers of this noble Christian course.
“To this group, I wish to recommend the study of the biographies of Judas Iscariot and Ahithophel in the Bible. Be careful to note how their lives ended
“It seems that Bola/Kashima’s preferred approach is to attempt to counter our position through insults and sponsored fake Christian organisations in order to create the impression that there is division within Christendom on this matter.
“Needless to say, this tactic has failed woefully. They are now the but of jokes in church gatherings all over the country. Unknown to them Church history emphatically records that Christians are more united in terms of adversity and persecution as now being propelled by this MM ticket of the APC.
“This approach has also portrayed the duo as arrogant and pitiable people whilst also exposing them to the public as people with unimaginable deficiencies of noble character.”
