Festus Kayamo, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, has told christians that Tinubu allowed his wife to become a Pastor under his roof and as such they have nothing to fear over Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket ahead of the presidential election.
According to Keyamo Tinubu has allowed his wife, Oluremi to practice Christianity for about 40 years and is also a Pastor in her ministry.
In a series of tweets, Keyamo wrote: “Nigerians & christians in particular, should have NOTHING TO FEAR in respect of a President & Commander-in-Chief (by God’s Grace and the votes of Nigerians, @officialABAT) who allowed his only wife to be a practicing Christian and a Pastor under the same roof for about 40 years!
“So, the APC comes to the table with two highly successful State Chief Executives who did excellently well in their states during their tenures, picked excellent successors (Fashola and Zulum) & a former First Lady and distinguished Senator. It is a case of buy one, get three free.”
Tinubu had picked a Borno State Senator, Kashim Shettima as his running mate despite persuasions from Nigerians to ensure that he picks a Christian running mate.
This decision was also contrary to clamour by political stakeholders and analysts that he should pick a northern Christian as his running mate.
Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, had said the APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket was an Islamization agenda.
