Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has apologised to Christian clerics over the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress.The Governor’s apology was contained in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Richard Olatunde, on Monday
He pleaded with the clerics to assist to talk to their followers about the need to forgive and give the party a chance.
The Chairman of the Southern Governorsโ Forum spoke on Sunday at the 40th Holy Ghost Convention Dinner of The Sword of the Spirit Ministries held at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan.
He hinged his call for understanding on the need for power to return to the southern part of the country after eight years in the northern part of Nigeria.
He said, โI understand our feelings because I am one of you. I am a Christian. All of us here are worried. What will be our gain, and that, why is my party, the APC, throwing up a Muslim-Muslim ticket?
โIt has been a real issue for all of us; even members of the party. We have debated it, fought it and done so many things about it. I have always said to people, that my fight was for a Southern President. Now it has come to the South-West, will I now throw the baby away with the bathwater? Can I, in all honesty, do it? Should I, in all honesty, do it?
