Honourable Vice President, you are a Christian. When you once met us, we spoke to you at Gwarimpa. We called you friend, you called us friend. When Buhari came to campaign and request of us to appeal to our people to vote for him, he pointed at you and said “here is a Christian, my Vice President, here is one of our sons…”

Akume was with you, another Christian; Audu Ogbeh, another Christian. How can he turn this country into an Islamic territory? The point I’m trying to make is that a day is going to come when you as Vice President, the injustices in our land, especially those perpetrated on smaller tribes that have no one to fight for them; when the issues and the records are raised, you too will bear the brunt of that problem. So, as a Christian person, exonerate yourself from this situation.
