Christian Body reacts
Nonetheless, the Christian group maintained that the Muslim/Muslim ticket does not reflect the diversity, and secularity of the country.
In a statement jointly signed by its national president, Rev Bitrus Chollom, and national secretary, Pastor James Alkali, the Christian group warned that harsh judgement awaits those that seek to embarrass the Body of Christ, ostensibly for a mess of pottage.
Nonetheless, it vowed to make public the identities of all those involved, with a view to exposing all that transpired at the ceremony.
Tinubu asked to reveal the true identities of the clerics
Speaking on the development, the (CCCN) said:
“We challenge Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to disclose to the world the identities of the so-called pastors and bishops, who were so unsure of themselves, by virtue of what transpired during the ceremony."
“To those involved, we advise you to repent of your evil outing, denounce the choreography that characterised the event, to serve as recompense."

Meanwhile, Tinubu's choice of Shettima has generated heated debate in the polity as critics have stormed the media space to argue the need for a Muslim-Christian ticket.
