Breaking: Northern Christian, Muslim Political Leaders Adopt Atiku, Mobilise Against Tinubu

The Forum of Christian and Muslim Political Leaders from the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), have adopted Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), as the consensus candidate for the 2023 election.

The decision came following a meeting of leaders and  delegates from all over the north comprising of religions leaders, women and youth organisations in Abuja on Friday at the Atiku Abubakr Hall of Shehu Musa Yaradua centre.

GWG.NG reports that the resolution of the leaders is a snub for Peter Obi of the Labour Party who had been favoured by Babachir Lawal, the erstwhile Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF.

The forum adopted the report of IRS technical committee led  by a former Minority Leader of the House of Representatives Hon Mohammed Umara Kumalia and Barrister Nunge Mele, SAN.

It will be recalled that the forum of Northern Christian and Muslim Leaders had on October 8, set up the committee to recommend a pan-Nigerian platform to adopt in the 2023 presidential election.

The resolution was contained in a communique jointly signed by a former Deputy Governor of Sokoto State and minister of Water Resources during the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo Hon. Mukhari Shagari and Professor D. D. Sheni.

GWG.NG reports that the Northern Christian and Muslim leaders in adopting Atiku have also put machinery in place to mobilise against the Muslim-Muslim ticket adopted by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on the claim that it is divisive.
