The choice of my running mate was beyond religion but on conviction for service – Tinubu tells Northern Bishops

The presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has explained to the Christian community that his choice of running mate was beyond religion and other sentiments but on conviction for service.

He spoke on Thursday while addressing the Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria in Abuja.

Tinubu told the clerics of his plans and programmes to improve the fortunes of Nigeria as well as mend fences across religious and ethnic lines.

Shedding light on his plans, Tinubu said: “How will Nigeria develop? How do we banish hunger? How do we improve the insecurity and how do we eliminate killing one and other, shedding of blood of innocent citizens, that is what we must take to the office and not our religion.

“My intention is clear. Not in religiosity. My intention is to develop this country, to bring prosperity to our country and I have better qualifications, better track records, better exposure, better vision than any of my mates.”
