Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A member of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Tomide Akinribido has charged Christians to protect Vice President Osinbajo for \u201crefusing\u201d to be part of Bola Tinubu\u2019s campaign council.<\/p>\n

The name of the VP was missing from the list of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n

The PCC said President Muhammadu Buhari directed that Osinbajo and Federal Government\u2019s Secretary, Boss Mustapha, be left out.<\/p>\n

The spokesman, Festus Keyamo explained that this was to ensure they were not distracted from governance.<\/p>\n

In his posts on Twitter, Akinribido suggested that the ruling APC was engaging in a cover-up of the true situation because of the backlash over its same faith ticket.<\/p>\n

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain said it was amazing that the two top government officials Buhari excused are Christians.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it a coincidence that the top two Christians in the government and party hierarchy, Vice-President and SGF, are excluded from the campaign council of a rejected Muslim-Muslim ticket?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Christian community must stand in solidarity with Osinbajo and reject the disastrous APC Muslim-Muslim ticket.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes enormous courage for him to decline participation in the Tinubu campaign council, he must be protected at all cost.<\/p>\n

\u201cVP Osinbajo was approached to play a prominent role in the APC campaign team, especially among the Christian community.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe declined and stated that he cannot do such in good conscience. Whether Laolu Akande debunks this does not matter. Prof himself knows this is the truth\u201d, Akinribido wrote.<\/p>\n
