Hon. Minister of State, Labour & Employment, Festus Keyamo has said Nigerians and Christians in particular have nothing to fear with Bola Ahmed Tinubu as president.

The minister said this to pacify Nigerians especially Christians that believe Tinubu’s choice of former Governor of Borno State as running mate was to push for the Islamicization of Nigeria.

Many clerics of both Christian and Muslim divides have vowed to work against the All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2023, wondering why a northern Christian was not picked as running mate to Tinubu.

But, Keyamo in a tweet on Tuesday, added that Tinubu who allowed his only wife to be a practicing Christian and a Pastor under the same roof for about 40 years will not be anti-Christian.

According to him, Nigerians should rather consider the fact that the presidential candidate and running mate of the APC are both successful former governors.

He wrote: “So, the APC comes to the table with two highly successful State Chief Executives who did excellently well in their States during their tenures, picked excellent successors (Fashola and Zulum) & a former First Lady and distinguished Senator,” adding: “It is a case of buy one, get three free.”
