They, however, suggested and advised the major political parties to zone their presidential tickets to the south in order to promote the cause of justice, equity, fairness and give the sense of belonging to all parts of the country.
National Chairman, Youth Wing Christian Association of Nigeria (YOUWICAN), Belusochukwu Enwere, said the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Association took the decision at their meeting that was held in Abuja, on Wednesday.
He said: “YOWICAN asserts that rotation of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria will promote unity and concord. As such the emergence of a Christian/Christian ticket or a Muslim/Muslim ticket come 2023 will not be a true expression of equity, fairness and justice for Nigeria and Nigerians.”
He confirmed the commitment of YOWICAN to take the message to the grassroots and awaken their structures down to the wards/units, for the actualization of the 2023 divine agenda.
He decried the increasing rate of insecurity in Nigeria, and commended the efforts of government and security agencies in combating the nefarious activities of bandits, killer herdsmen, insurgents etc…
