If the likes of Babachir Lawal, Yakubu Dogara, Godswill Akpabio, Governor Fayemi and a host of other Christians had supported a southern Christian, all these issues would not have arisen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe presidential primary was free and fair, and majority of those who voted for Tinubu during the presidential primary are Christians and it makes no sense for any right-thinking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/07\/13\/why-tinubu-needs-to-apologise-to-christians-sen-elisha-abbo\/\">Christians<\/a> to call Lalong to resign as the DG of the presidential candidate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMajority of the votes garnered by Rotimi Ameachi were from the Muslims which clearly shows that they were committed to a southern Presidency through a Christian but because it was an election, Tinubu won.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have Muslims in the South-West but all the governors in the zone are Christians except the Osun State Governor who recently lost to a Christian, but no Muslim protested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kassim said Babachir Lawal and Yakubu Dogara should not introduce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/08\/06\/muslim-muslim-ticket-nigerians-should-emulate-tinubus-religious-tolerance-says-oshiomhole\/\">religious politics<\/a> in the country because they lost out in their attempts to be the vice-presidential candidate to Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Presidential Support Council of the All Progressives Congress has stated that the Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, will not resign his appointment as the Director General of the Tinubu\/Shettima Campaign Organisation for the 2023 elections.
