The Catholic Church has described the bishops who attended the unveiling of Kashim Shettima as the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu’s running mate as fake.
The spokesman for the Catholic Church Headquarters in Abuja, Rev. Fr. Patrick Alumuku had said those bishops were not their representatives.
Alumuku stressed that Tinubu’s campaign team hired the fake bishops to attend the event.
“We have seen the photos circulating online, they are not Catholic bishops. The Catholic Church did not send any representation to the event held today by Bola Tinubu and his running mate Kashim Shettima.
“If you look at the manner the imposters dressed and conducted themselves, you will see they are not Catholic Church officials” he told newsmen.
On Wednesday, APC had unveiled Shettima as Tinubu’s running mate in the upcoming 2023 general election.
This was against the clamour of most Nigerians calling for a Christian running mate.
Despite it all, Tinubu still opted for a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.
