The statement partly read:

“APC has resorted to clandestine ways of causing division in the body of Christ by recruiting hitherto unknown bodies in the Body of Christ to counter decisions taken by the umbrella body, CAN and its various organs.”

According to the group, Tinubu, in 2021, met with a Christian body to sell the Muslim-Muslim ticket.

The forum alleged that the APC is engaging in a shame show with its desperate efforts to attract public goodwill and acceptance by engaging strange Christian groups to endorse its same faith ticket.
