The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has insulted Christians and desecrated the holy sacrament,
spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar Campaign Organisation, Dino Melaye, said on
Tuesday.
According to him, Tinubu despised the body of Christ by
profaning the sacrament of communion and besmirched the church.
Melaye stated these in a statement titled, ‘Tinubu not fit
or prepared for presidency.’
He said, “Tinubu just insulted Christians and desecrated the
holy sacrament. The Holy communion is for a divine reason called Holy. To
minimise it and ridicule it to a joke is insensitive and a further show of
disregard to the Christian religion. Tinubu must apologise. Leadership and
presidential dream comes with responsibilities.
“The APC presidential candidate, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, plunged
into new depths of desecration when by an unguarded and unrelated flow of
thought he despised the body of Christ by profaning the sacrament of communion
and besmirched the church.
“In the same breath he trivialised the existential threat
that climate change poses to humanity. Furthermore, he fell out of tune with
world leaders in ways that betrayed a lack of understanding of what the
Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called the ‘Fierce Urgency of Now’.
“Having overlooked
Christians in his choice of a running mate, he further rubbed insult on injury
by calling the Holy Communion into an unrelated conversation. It would have
been honourable for Tinubu to simply admit that he didn’t know what climate
change is. Again, that exposed his limited understanding and poor preparation
for governance.
“Any leader of any great nation who does not understand the
basics of climate change, especially with the ongoing flooding in Nigeria and
the economic conflict arising from farmers and herders (clashes), has no
business aspiring to lead our dear country at this moment.
“Besides, Nigerians who have been in doubt about the
presence of mind and the physiological capacity of Tinubu to preside over the
affairs of Nigeria should now be convinced that he is not fit. For a moment,
his thought processes tripped and he launched into another issue entirely.
Nigerians could imagine if what happened in Kaduna had happened on the world
stage.
“As I said earlier, Nigerians cannot afford to gamble with
the next election. An Atiku presidency will not only be at home with global
issues anywhere and anytime, he would build bridges and partnerships to address
contemporary and emerging issues with pace, purpose and patience.
“He will collaborate with others to contain the causes and
effects of climate change and more
importantly, he will work for structures that will help Nigeria to build the
resilience and adaptation to climate change, particularly in climate smart
agriculture and other strategic initiatives.”
