Bola Tinubu Weaponisation of Religion For Re-Election The photo in circulation attributed to a visitation of Middle Belt leaders is not actually a gathering of Middle Belt leaders, but a gathering of Northern Christian leaders Yakubu Dogara is from the far North-Eastern state of Bauchi and Ishaya Bamaiyi is from the far North-Western state of Kebbi. These are not Middle Belt territories. How come no Muslim is amongst these so called ‘Middle Belt’ leaders even when there are Muslims in the Middle Belt. Let’s be clear, what these men in this photo have in common is their shared faith in Christianity We in the ADC hereby condemn the weaponisation of religion against any rival candidate for the political benefit of @officialABAT or any other candidate @ADCNig also advises the Middle Belt leadership to distance themselves from any attempts to use their forum and banner in masking this kind of toxic religious weaponisation in our politics Running on a Muslim Muslim ticket is already an attempt to weaponise Islam, extending it to Christianity is a blatant disregard for people’s faith and is condemnable We hereby call on all Northern Christian leaders and Middle Belt leaders to lend their voices in their refusal to be used as tools in this evil political plot aimed at tearing our already fractured union or subjugating their fellow countrymen and women for political incentives and benefits If Bola desperately wants to get reelected, then he must find other non-toxic approach
