Appearance of bishops at unveiling of APC’s running mate, Kashim Shettima shows desperation – Melaye
Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, said the attendance of some bishops at the unveiling of Kashim Shettima, the presidential running mate of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, smacks of desperation.
Melaye said the presence of the alleged bishops at Shettima’s unveiling had exposed the APC.
During the event held at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja on Wednesday, some persons robed in apparel peculiar to that of Christian clerics, attended the event to show support for the APC vice-presidential candidate.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), had criticised the APC, saying “artisans” were hired to act like clerics.
Melaye said Reverend Fathers don’t wear cassocks outside mass service.
In a tweet, Melaye wrote: “Reverend fathers do not wear cassocks outside mass service. Desperation raised to power 1000.”
