The Borno State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Bishop Naga Mohammed, has debunked reports on social media that says he had supported the choice of the All Progressive Congress presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu when he picked the former Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shetima as his running mate.
According to him, he neither granted any interview to any journalist nor issued any press statement to that effect.
Mohammed, in an interview said, expressed his displeasure and said that the news was hijacked from 2017 When he spoke up during the Boko Haram rampage when Shetima was still governor.
He said, “I have not granted an interview to anybody and never issued any statement. Was it not yesterday (Sunday) they said they had appointed him (Shettima)? How come I granted interview at the APC secretariat?
“Nobody called me. No journalist called me, except when this thing happened, when the papers were carrying it viral, then people were calling me.
“Right now, I’m somehow angry and not even composed to talk very well. The story they are carrying was in 2017 when Boko Haram was devastating Borno when Kashim Shettima was the governor.
“They picked that story and I, being CAN chairman, they now levelled it against me. I am just framed up and I don’t even have trust speaking with journalists, including you, because I don’t know what else you will write.”
