The northern leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) says despite the Muslim-Muslim presidency, there is inclusiveness in President Bola Tinubu’s government.
Speaking after the association’s quarterly meeting on
Saturday, Yakubu Pam, the chairman, said the association, however, still wishes
the presidency to be shared between Christians and Muslims.
Pam also commended the government for “improving security”
in the north.
“For me, the most important thing is a government that is
inclusive and as far as they have done Muslim-Muslim ticket, we have also seen
reasonable inclusiveness,” he said.
“But left for us, we will say yes, let’s have Christians in
certain positions like Vice President and other positions to reflect our
diversity. We know people desire to see that insecurity is addressed so that
they can go about their normal daily activities without fear.
“This is already happening; we want the government to
declare a complete state of emergency on the issue of insecurity. We may have a
Christian there and killings may still be going on, but it is something we
still pray for.”
Pam added that the association would still prefer a
Christian as the vice president of the country.
“The presidency will be good to bring a Christian as number
2. We will appreciate it, there is
nothing wrong with that. Whatever way, the important thing is that insecurity
should be tackled,” he said.
