The candidate of the ruling party in the forthcoming general election; Asiwaju Bola Tinubu met with the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria yesterday and assured them that he is not on the path to Islamize the country.
He said his choice of a Muslim running mate is not based on religious basis but on political calculation.
He said:
I can no more suppress the Christians of this nation than I can suppress the Christians in my own household, my very family. You all know my wife is Christian and a pastor. My children are Christians. I can no more disown them and their choice of faith than I can disown myself. As a husband and father to Christian wife and children, hearing such allegations is hurtful."
When I hear the allegation that I want to Islamize nigeria when I cannot islamize my house
