Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN), says like millions of Christians in the country, he is also worried about the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket of his party, the All Progressives Congress.
The governor spoke on Sunday at the 40th Holy Ghost Convention Dinner of The Sword of the Spirit Ministries held at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan, Agbawo, Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, had selected former governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, as his running mate. His decision to run alongside a Muslim like himself was met with stark criticisms from the Christian Association of Nigeria and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria led by Oke.
Akeredolu said the struggle for the President of Nigeria to come from the Southern part of the country in 2023 should not be in vain.
The Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum, said the North cannot retain power after spending eight years in office.
The governor pleaded with Christians to look beyond religion and focus on the competency of Tinubu and Shettima.
