Tinubu’s Inclusive Governance Surpasses Muslim-Muslim Ticket Concerns, Says Northern CAN

Tinubu’s Inclusive Governance Surpasses Muslim-Muslim Ticket Concerns, Says Northern CAN

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the 19 Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, has acknowledged that President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to inclusive governance has overshadowed concerns regarding the Muslim-Muslim ticket at the presidency.

In an interview following the National Executive Committee meeting of CAN in Kaduna on Saturday, Northern CAN Chairman Rev. Yakubu Pam expressed that while it is preferable to have a Christian in the vice-presidential role to foster balance between the country’s two major religions, the focus remains on government inclusiveness.

“For me, the most important aspect is an inclusive government,” Rev. Pam emphasized. “While we acknowledge the Muslim-Muslim ticket, we have also observed reasonable inclusiveness in other areas. Ideally, we would support having Christians in prominent positions such as the Vice President to reflect our nation’s diversity.”

He continued, “Bringing a Christian into the number two position at the presidency would be welcomed, but our primary concern is the urgent need to address insecurity in our communities.”

Rev. Pam highlighted the people’s desire for effective measures to combat insecurity, enabling them to pursue their daily routines without fear. He advocated for a complete state of emergency to effectively tackle the pervasive issue, while recognizing that even with a Christian in office, violence could persist.

“It’s crucial that the government intensifies efforts to enhance security,” he added. “The current administration has shown slight improvement, yet more can be done. There are still various issues that need to be resolved. However, the circumstances today are not as severe as the years marked by bombings.”

Notably, Rev. Pam pointed to hunger as a significant challenge facing the populace. “Many are struggling, with rising commodity prices causing distress. We hope that with the President’s assurances, conditions will improve.”

During his address at the meeting, Rev. Pam reminded attendees of their responsibility to pray for President Tinubu and the welfare of the nation. “While we celebrate unity and religious harmony, we cannot ignore the serious challenges confronting Christians and the broader population in Northern Nigeria,” he stated.

He outlined the ongoing struggles with insecurity in the region, which include banditry, insurgency, terrorism, and the daunting impact of kidnappings for ransom. “The agricultural sector has been severely disrupted due to farmer-herder conflicts, which have jeopardized food security and displaced countless families,” he lamented.

Rev. Pam also addressed the ongoing difficulties faced by Christians in securing land for church buildings and the lack of representation in political appointments. “The rising cost of living and diminished economic opportunities continue to pose serious challenges for many, particularly amid ongoing insecurity and displacement.”

While acknowledging the steps taken by the President to address these issues, Rev. Pam called for deeper intervention to bring about peace and stability in Northern Nigeria. He raised concerns regarding political appointments, citing the absence of a Christian from the North-West Development Commission, where instead a Christian from the South-East was appointed.

“We appreciate the President’s effort in appointing a Christian as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and a few ministers, but we urge for more representation of Northern Christians in key political positions and decision-making roles,” he implored.

In response, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) George Akume, represented by his Chief of Staff Christopher Tarka, assured attendees of President Tinubu’s commitment to good governance across the nation.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is dedicated to promoting equity and inclusivity in all regions of Nigeria,” Tarka said. He pointed out the President’s initiatives, such as providing palliatives to Christians in the North during the last Christmas season, reducing fuel prices, and prioritizing security during the holiday festivities as evidence of his commitment.

Tarka reiterated that the administration is focused on resolving pressing challenges in the Northern region, including insecurity and economic hardship. He expressed understanding regarding the concerns for church land acquisition and the representation of Northern Christians in political appointments and committed to addressing these matters with the President.

The dialogue reflects ongoing efforts to foster understanding and cooperation among the diverse religious communities within Nigeria while addressing critical national issues.
