On Thursday, Hon. Jerry Tyolanga, national vice president of the National Association of Yam Farmers, Processors and Marketers of Nigeria (NAYFPM), Northeast chapter, condemned the Christian endorsement of Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour party, as a mistake against the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Atiku Abubakar, her presidential candidate, to prevent the APC from enacting her Muslim-Muslim ticket agenda.
While speaking with journalists in Jalingo, Hon. Tyolanga expressed his concern that some Christian support for Mr. Peter Obi would jeopardize the Christian campaign against the Muslim-Muslim ticket for the presidency.

He expressed concern that Christians in the South-West might decide to support Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, rather than the CAN’s position in the election due to ethnicity. This, he claimed, could result in Tinubu’s rise to power if Christians in other regions of the nation, such as the South-South and the North-Central, choose Mr. Obi over Atiku, who have a better chance of preventing the APC from the idea that he believed could bring disunity among religious groups in the country.
“I want to let all Christians who are against the APC Muslim- Muslim ticket and are supporting Mr Peter Obi know that their support for the Labour party’s presidential candidate is a mistake against the actualization for Christian kick against the APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket.
“I am not against the candidature of Mr Peter Obi, he is one of Nigeria’s finest leaders who have a good track record of legacy and can take Nigeria to a higher level of development but, the fear of what the APC has portrayed to the country is a major concern.

“They have portrayed danger to the nation’s democracy and unity of the country. “I am not challenging the population of the South-South who are 99.9 per cent Christian, but if Christian in the South West decides to vote based on ethnicity and those in the North-Central and South-South split their votes for Obi and Okowa, while the North-West and the North-East split for Atiku and Shettima, the Christian would lose in their agitation to stop the Muslim dominance in a leadership position in Nigeria.
“I want all Christians including Mr Peter Obi to support Atiku to save Christianity from being buried by the APC and her presidential candidate Bola Tinubu.
“The Christian position for Obi is a mistake against actualizing the stoppage of APC plans against Christian in Nigeria” Tyolanga decried.
The head of the yam farmers also expressed concern about the ongoing insecurity in the nation, saying that it was tarnishing Nigeria’s status as an economic powerhouse.
