Dr. Abubakar of Abdullahi, Director General and National Coordinator of the Bola Tinubu Support Organisation (KUSO), recommended President-elect Bola Tinubu on Monday to select Christians to the offices of Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Chief of Staff (CoS).
Dr. Kuso emphasised that the win of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Presidential and National Assembly elections on February 25, 2023, provided an opportunity to address the difficulties of uniting the country.
He raised alarm about opposition parties’ divisive campaigns, particularly the Muslim-Muslim ticket of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Sen. Kashim Shettima, now President-elect and Vice President-elect, respectively.
“Some specific recommendations may be necessary at this point. The offices of Chief of Staff to the President and Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) would have to be allocated and reserved for Christians.

“Given that the President and Vice President are both Muslims, no Muslim should aspire for any of these offices. Opportunists may argue that in the past, little consideration was given to religion.
“This kind of lop-sided reality must be corrected as a strategic approach to dousing religious tension in the country.
“With a Muslim President and a Muslim Vice President, it is only logical to appoint Christians as Chief of Staff (CoS) and Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) respectively, in other to pacify Christians and create inclusiveness.
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu needs to recognise that the Muslim-Muslim ticket he introduced that won the 2023 Presidential election, if not managed to produce the desired outcome of religious inclusivity could further widen the division among Nigerians, which should be avoided.
“A successfully well-managed Muslim-Muslim ticket would make a Christian-Christian ticket viable and possible in the nearest future.

“That is the only way to show Nigerians that the Islamisation agenda that has become a singsong for the opposition is only the hallucinatory proclamation of some individuals and groups,” he noted.
Dr Abdullahi Abubakar also thanked Nigerians for voting APC assuring them “Tinubu will deliver the gains of democracy in all sectors of nation building”.
