Muslim-Muslim Ticket: Northern CAN Maintains Opposition, Chides APC Over Impostor Bishops

The chairmen of the Christian Association of Nigeria (19 Northern States and Abuja) have reiterated their opposition to the All Progressives Congress’ Muslim-Muslim ticket, stating they would not change their stance.

They declared their stance at a conference hosted in Abuja by a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, and a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, both APC members.

Dogara later publicized the meeting on Twitter.

He stated that the purpose of the meeting with Christian leaders from the North and the FCT was to agree on a pan-Nigerian platform to support in the 2023 elections.

“#NigeriaDecides2023- The Fight for Justice Continues. Today, we held a Consultative Meeting with Christian Leaders from the 19 Northern States and the FCT on the pan-Nigerian platform to adopt in 2023,” he tweeted.

He said, “The meeting was well attended in person by all the CAN chairmen from the North except Katsina state.

“We are saying it’s no going back on our stance against the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC.”

Asked which political party the Northern Christian leaders have decided to throw their weight behind, Hayab said, “We will meet with leading Christian politicians across party lines to consult with them before deciding on our next line of action.

“We will also wait for signals from our (CAN) national body. They will also point us to the way to go, but the Muslim-Muslim ticket is out of the equation.

“What we had expected from the APC was for them to call the Church together and explain themselves rather than hiring impostors to impersonate genuine Christian leaders.”
