The presidency should be inclusive and fair. It is no longer a news in Nigeria that the president-elect H.E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu with his vice H.E. Kashim Shattima the vice President elect are both from the same faith in which it has stir so much uproar within the political space in Nigeria.
In a statement Signed Rt. hon. John Audu kwaturu,
Kaduna state and made available to newsmen revealed that
For the first time since 1999 that both the office of the president and that of the vice president are occupied by persons of the same faith (Muslim).
WE ARE AMONG THE CHRISTIANS THAT STOOD OUR GROUND AND SUPPORTED THE MUSLIMS MUSLIMS TICKETS.Thus, the Christian communities are calling for fairness in terms of appointments into key positions in the incoming government.
Since the office of the president and that of the vice President is Muslim Muslim then the office of the chief of staff to the president and that of the S.G.F should also be Christian Christian so that the Christian communities will not say that the Presidency is being islamized.
This will show inclusion in the incoming government and it will also ease the present tension bedeviling our nation.
We appreciate the president-elect for his kind gesture, we will also want to remind the president-elect on how his appointment in the campaign council from the director general of the campaign council to the secretary went a long way to ease the tension of the Muslim Muslim tickets.
We call on Mr president-elect to use his brilliant ideas to balance up. As we’ll continue to pray for him and also to support him.
