Nigeria: TY Danjuma Backs Tinubu’s Re-election Bid, Says President Has Been Fair to Christians

Theophilus Danjuma, former minister of defence, has endorsed the re-election bid of President Bola Tinubu, saying his administration has been fair to Christians in appointments.

Danjuma spoke on Saturday at the 20th anniversary and fundraising ceremony of the Adamawa State Government House Chapel held in Yola.

He said electing Tinubu for another four years would give the administration ample time to complete what he described as meaningful projects.

Represented by Ishaya Bamaiyi, former chief of army staff, Danjuma said since the inception of his administration, Tinubu has exhibited fairness and tolerance by appointing several Christians to government positions.

He called on Nigerians, especially those in the Middle Belt, to support the president’s second-term quest.

He maintained that the prospect of another northerner becoming president could unsettle the current geopolitical arrangement.

The retired general implored the movement to expand the Adamawa Government House Chapel, urging the faithful to have the fear of God in their individual and collective undertakings to attract His guidance and blessings.

He pledged N250 million towards the fundraising ceremony to support the expansion of the chapel and ensure it stands the test of time.

The development follows a visit by the former minister and some leaders from the North-West and North-Central to President Tinubu at the State House on Thursday, where they declared their support for his administration and readiness to strengthen his political base across their communities.

Speaking to State House correspondents after the visit, Yakubu Dogara, former speaker of the House of Representatives, said the delegation was particularly encouraged by what he described as remarkable improvements in the country’s security situation.

He said the gains recorded under Tinubu have provided further justification for rallying support for his re-election.

The delegation included Caleb Mutfwang, governor of Plateau; Agbu Kefas, governor of Taraba; Chris Musa, minister of defence; and Nentawe Yilwatda, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), among others.
