Why we won’t endorse Tinubu – Bishops

Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday met with some Christian leaders under the umbrella of the Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria.

At the meeting, Tinubu stated that his choice of a former governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima was not a threat to the Christian community.

He added that his decision was based on competence and not religious considerations, noting that only competence can resolve the political and socio-economic challenges bedevilling the nation.

The APC presidential candidate said he has always been a friend of the Christian community and he should be considered based on his track records, plans and agenda for developing Nigeria.

In his brief comment at the meeting, Chairman of Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria, Archbishop John Praise, said they are not committed to endorsing anybody, but urged Nigerians to decide what is best for them.
