The APC Christian Forum has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to address what it described as the ongoing marginalization of Christians in Kano State by some leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Emmanuel Agbakoba, and Secretary, Benjamin Aman, the group accused party officials in Kano of excluding the Christian community from the distribution of Christmas palliatives.
The Forum noted that while palliatives were reportedly distributed to Christian communities across 35 states, Kano State was conspicuously left out.
“We supported the APC at all levels and played our part during elections. Yet, it is disheartening that Christians in Kano are consistently sidelined when initiatives meant to benefit party members are implemented.
The exclusion of Kano from the Christmas palliatives is a glaring example,” the statement read.
The group also called on the APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and the Kano State Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, to address their concerns.
They emphasized that the neglect extends beyond party members to the larger Christian population in the state.
“The current economic hardships affect everyone, including Christians in Kano. Unfortunately, we have been completely ignored during the palliative distribution,” the Forum lamented.
The APC Christian Forum urged President Tinubu and the party leadership to intervene urgently and ensure equitable treatment for all communities in Kano.
