Tinubu gets serious warning as he moves to pick Zulum as running mate

The All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has been warned against settling for Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State or his predecessor, Kashim Shettima as his running mate.

There ae indications that Tinubu is may eventually settle for Muslim-Muslim ticket amid an outcry by Nigerians.

A staunch ally of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Reno Omokri, said the two names queried Tinubu’s choice of Shettima and Zulum.

In a series of tweets, Omokri accused Zulum of neglecting the Christian community in the state.

Omokri tweeted: “Yes, Bola Tinubu’s wife is a Christian pastor. However, is she not the same person who said ‘Igbo, we no dey trust una again’? So, if her husband picks a Muslim Vice President, can such a woman drop her bias against Igbos, who are mostly Christians and love them?

“Shettima notoriously failed to provide security for the Chibok Christian community. When Wike, the then Minister of State for Education (now Governor of Rivers) wrote him to move WAEC students from Chibok to Maiduguri, he refused. Can such a VP protect Christians?

“Zulum, for instance, is notorious for doing nothing after the demolition of the EYN Church in Moduganari, wherein his agents killed one of the protesting Christians. Shettima is remembered for neglecting Christian communities. Can they protect Christians as VP?”
