Senator Oluremi Tinubu, wife of the APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday told women in the South East to have faith in the party’s decision to have Muslims as presidential and vice-presidential candidates.
“Let’s leave religion aside, I am a Christian. Have you ever thought that one day a Christian-Christian candidate would emerge?” She asked at the South-East women rally for Tinubu/Shettima presidential campaign in Owerri.
“What would be the reference point? We have tried the Muslim-Christian ticket, let us try this one too and after four years they don’t do well, you can drive them out.”
Senator Tinubu noted that Nigeria’s election should not be about religion but about voting a candidate who has the fear of God.
“When you have a person who fears God, not a person who is a Christian or Catholic or Muslim, but a God-fearing person. When a man who fears God is in power, he will treat you right,” she said.

“This is work time for Nigeria. We are not playing games. Women, we will remember you and I can assure that Asiwaju for sure will remember you.
“The Tinubu/Shettima have a big package for our youth. We will sit down and work with every region on their needs,” she further assured the women.
Tinubu stressed that the election was about a renewed hope of a country that is safe, progressive and possible, with investment in entrepreneurship and human capital.
In his remarks, Governor Hope Uzodimma urged the South East women to make wise decisions by voting the APC presidential candidate.
Uzodimma said: “I have decided to embark on political evangelism. I will continue to preach. I will continue to speak to my people to shine your eyes because this is the time for us to take vital decisions.
“We have decided that you are better off being in a united Nigeria. A united Nigeria will best accommodate the population of Ndigbo. The geographical strength in the South East is not enough to accommodate us.”
