The endorsement of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was not guaranteed according to the Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria.
Recall that on Thursday in Abuja, Tinubu met with the Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria.
“We are not committed to endorsing anybody, but you should ask your conscience and from what you have heard and from the explanation, he (Tinubu) had given to us to make your own judgement of who will better rule and handle the country,” said Archbishop John Praise, the chairman of the Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria, during the meeting.
The APC presidential hopeful assured the bishops that Kashim Shettima, a former governor of Borno State, was not a danger to the Christian community.

Following Wike’s camp’s departure from Atiku’s campaign, the PDP schedules an urgent meeting.
The former governor of Lagos State argued that the nation’s political and socioeconomic problems can only be solved by competent people.
According to Tinubu, who has a history of supporting the Christian community, he should be given serious consideration given his record of accomplishments and his goals for the development of Nigeria.
“What direction will Nigeria take? How can hunger be eradicated? Not our faith, but how can we reduce the sense of unease and stop people from killing one another and spilling the blood of innocent bystanders?
My goal is clear; religion is not it. My goal is for our nation to grow and succeed, and I am better qualified, more experienced, more exposed, and more visionary than any of my peers.
“I looked at the people on the list, their backgrounds, and everything when the shortlisted names arrived, and here is someone (Kassim Shetimma) who is so intelligent, so committed, and who, throughout the Borno crisis, protected Christians,” he remarked.
