A United States-based Nigerian cleric, Samuel Ayeni has described the plea made by the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN) for Christians to accept the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as opportunistic.
According to Ayeni in a statement released in New Jersey, “It is with disappointment that I read the comments attributed to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State last Sunday where the Governor was quoted to have justified the choice of a Muslim-Muslim ticket by his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and begged Christians to accept the injustice.
“According to a statement made available to journalists in Akure, the State capital by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, Governor Akeredolu spoke at the Holy Ghost Convention Dinner of The Sword of the Spirit Ministries, held at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan, Agbowo, Ibadan, Oyo State.
“This is not the kind of statement that is expected from a Governor expected to be a statesman, not to mention one who is the Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum.
