The vice presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Senator Kashim Shettima, has said that he might be a Muslim, but the wife of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the party’s standard bearer, is not just a Christian but a pastor.
Shettima stated this when he received an APC group led by a former Nigerian ambassador to the United States, Mohammed Hassan.
KEMI FILANI NEWS recalls that Tinubu announced Shettima as his running mate after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at his Daura home in Katsina State on Sunday.
The former Borno State governor insisted there is no plan to Islamise Nigeria.
He also urged Nigerians to look beyond religion when electing leaders, adding that he and Tinubu want to transform the country.
“They are accusing him of an attempt to Islamise the country. Has he started with Islamising his own family?
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yes, his running mate might be a Muslim, but his life mate for over 40 years is not only a Christian, but a pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
“He did not enforce his own Islamic faith on his own children. He was the first governor to hand over mission schools to the owners, and he has groomed people from all walks of life,” NAN quoted Shettima as saying.
