According to the Archbishop, Tinubu’s choice of the former Borno state Governor as running mate has created a massive crack in the ruling party.

Julius also added that some church leaders had lamented neglect, insensitivity and bias and have followed up with days of intense prayers and fasting with over 100 clergymen.

He further hinted that during the intercessory sessions, it was revealed that dark clouds hover over Tinubu and Shettima due to the choice they have made on behalf of the party.

The Archbishop added that God is not happy with the combination which negates the diversity of the nation, especially at this critical time.

Quoting from Ezekiel 3:17-19, he said God warned that “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel (Nigeria).

His words:

“The day is coming as surely as the sun rises tomorrow and when that day comes, it will be too late to beg for mercy for each man and woman will be judged according to their works and that culminates in the fierce wrath of God with unending torment (Rev 20:12-15).
“Death looms. No one is spared from top to bottom. God isn't happy. We have interceded to avoid immediate danger. But the wrath of God will surely come if the heart of Tinubu remains hardened to the calls of his servants.
“We urge the ruling party to avert the bloodshed and withdraw the nomination of Shettima. God bless the APC. God bless Nigeria."

Bayo Onanuga, the director of media and communication, Tinubu Campaign Organisation, said the clergymen were not fake, noting that they are genuine church leaders.

Onanguga said though the clerics are not big names in Christendom yet, they are gradually building up their missions.

2023: CAN rejects Tinubu’s choice of Muslim running mate

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that CAN rejected the selection of former governor of Borno state, Kashim Shettima as the running mate to the APC presidential candidate, Tinubu.

Speaking in an interview on Sunday, July 10, CAN’s spokesperson, Adebayo Oladeji, said making such a decision in a polarised country was a wrong move.

He stated that if having a pastor as the vice president of the country and Christian clerics and worshipers are being killed, the security of lives and properties of Christians under a Muslim-Muslim could not be guaranteed.
