Shettima’s Unveiling: Arewa Pastors Disown Unknown Bishops

The Arewa Christians and Indigenous Pastors Association have reacted to reports of some Christian bishops that stormed Abuja for the official unveiling of former Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima as the running mate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

According to the association the presence of the clerics at the unveiling was a publicity stunt and desperation for money.

According to ACIPA Chairman, Rev. Luke Shehu, none of the Bishops at the Wednesday’s event belongs to a registered church.

The statement reads, “The attention of Arewa Christians and Indigenous Pastors Association have been drawn to the sacrilegious act of some who claim to be Christian Clerics in other to appease and launder desperate politicians.

“We recall that in the past, aspersions were cast when some hirelings visited Aso Rock as Northern (Arewa) Christian Clerics. For the sake of clarity and avoidance of doubt, ACIPA has found out that none of the so-called Bishops or Pastors at the unveiling of the Vice Presidential candidate from the North has or belongs to a registered Church as a Bishop in the hierarchy or order of Ecclesiastical or Apostolic ranking.

“ACIPA regrets the unfortunate desperation of some to make ends meet while appealing to politicians and a media stunt. However, we wish to advise charlatans and hirelings to desist from denigrating the honourable office of the Clergy and bringing the titles to disrepute and dishonour.

“We have since taken over and declared that God shall reign again above any other throne and man in the affairs and leadership of Nigeria.”
