Northern Group Hails Tinubu for Massive Appointments of Christians into Cabinet
The All Christian Youths in Northern Nigeria (ACYNN), has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for running what they describe as an inclusive government.
They noted that Tinubu’s choice of Muslim-Muslim leadership ticket with Vice President Kashim Shettima have been dispelled by the inclusive nature of his appointments.
The group, an assembly of Christian youths from the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory disclosed this during a solidarity walk in Abuja on Monday.
Dominic Alancha, the National President of the ACYNN, stated, “At one point, we questioned whether we were recognized as Nigerian citizens with a stake in our beloved country at all.
“However, President Tinubu’s swift and unprecedented appointments have not only surprised us but also resonated with many well-intentioned Nigerians.”

The group applauded the appointment of Christians to key roles in the government, including Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume, and Chief of Defense Staff, General Christopher Musa.
“This signifies a significant step towards inclusivity, granting a voice to marginalised, neglected, and often forgotten Christian minorities in Northern Nigeria especially those from the Middle-belt,” Alancha added.
The youth organization expressed appreciation for Gen. Musa, a Christian from Kaduna to lead the Armed Forces given his understanding of the state’s insecurity issues.
“Mr. President have also appointed General Christopher Gwabin Musa as the 18th Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), an exemplary choice who happens to be a Northern Christian. This appointment is a testament to his leadership style,” he stated.
The ACYNN described Tinubu’s leadership as free from the divisive politics often seen in the Nigerian political arena, demonstrating remarkable ingenuity and inclusiveness.
“He (Tinubu) governs with remarkable ingenuity and inclusiveness, uniting all Nigerians as one united nation. We wholeheartedly appreciate his approach,” Alancha said.
