The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has reacted to the choice of Senator Kashim Shettima as the running mate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

The umbrella Christian organisation said it was not moved by the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket and its determined to stand its ground against every form of intimidation.

The association’s chairman, Kaduna state chapter, Rev. John Hayab, stated this during an interview with Vanguard on Sunday.

NAIJAPOPSTAR had earlier reported that Tinubu announced Shettima as his running mate after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at his Daura home in Katsina State on Sunday.

Reacting to the announcement, Hayab said, “We were ready for this announcement. We have put some media outlets on notice. All we are waiting for is the right signal to give a full blown reaction.

“We’ll escalate this issue because our call for fairness and the balancing of the presidential ticket for the sake justice, unity and fairness apparently fell on deaf ears.

“However, CAN is strongly determined to sacrifice everything to protect the interest of the Church in Nigeria. We will not be moved by any form of intimidation.”

He added that a more profound reaction would soon be made available to the public through the media.
