Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has met with the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, following the controversy trailing the Muslim-Muslim presidential preference of the ruling party.
Many sources had reported yesterday that Tinubu had set up a team of eminent persons with whom he was scheduled to meet the Christian leaders within the party and faith-based organisations like the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) and the Catholic, to appeal to them and secure their buy-in.
A source in the Tinubu Campaign team, who pleaded anonymity, informed the media that the plan, which was going to be a holistic approach to the crisis, was to make the Christian community see reasons behind the
Muslim-Muslim ticket, adding that Tinubu decided to lead a team to appeal to the Christian community.
But we gathered that the meeting with Adeboye was actually held on Sunday at the Redemption camp.
A reliable source, who also pleaded anonymity, told many sources that the meeting with Adeboye was very fruitful, adding that the clergy was not against a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Though we could not confirm those on Tinubu’s entourage to the meeting with Adeboye, it was reliably gathered that the wife of the presidential hopeful, Senator Oluremi, was there.
