According to Danjuma, the president has also ben fair enough to appoint many Christians into his government, hailing Tinubu for being fair to all the sections of the country when it come to federal government appointment.
The retired Army General is one of the very few northern leaders that have openly endorsed President Tinubu for another term, even as some notable leaders from the region have vowed to truncate his return to office in 2027.
Danjuma, who was represented at the event by General Ishaya Bamaiyi(rtd.) also called on the people of the middle-belt to vote for Tinubu, urging northerners to shelve the idea of presidency for now, to prevent an upset in the nation’s current political configuration.
