A former National chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole has accused some Christians chieftains in the party of spearheading the opposition against the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu in the build-up to the 2023 election.

Oshiomole, who said the criticisms against the party’s Muslim-Muslim ticket was unfortunate, added that the problems of Nigeria are bigger than disagreements over religion.

The former Edo state governor, who spoke to newsmen in Abuja on Thursday, said those against Tinubu should have worked to ensure a Christian emerged as the APC Presidential candidate.
