PHOTOS: Tinubu parleys Northern Pentecostal Bishops

The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday in Abuja played host to the delegation of Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria.

Tinubu said “the meeting discussed important issues of national significance as well as my determination to deliver unity, harmony and lasting peace to Nigeria.”

Speaking to the religious leaders, Tinubu said: “How will Nigeria develop? How do we banish hunger? How do we improve the insecurity and how do we eliminate killing one another, shedding of blood of innocent citizens? That is what we must take to the office and not our religion.

“My intention is clear, not religiosity. My intention is to develop this country, to bring prosperity to our country and I have better qualification, better track records, better exposure, better vision than any of my mates.

“When the shortlisted names came, I looked at the characters on the list, their background and everything and here is somebody (Kashim Shettima) who is so brilliant, so committed, who, during the crisis in Borno protected Christians.
