As part of his last minute move to curry the support of Christian
leaders in the 2015 presidential election taking place in less than
three weeks from today, President Goodluck Jonathan at the weekend
summoned Christian leaders to a meeting on Monday at the National
Ecumenical Centre in Abuja.
At the event, which comes after several of the Christian leaders
publicly turned their backs on his campaign, sources say Jonathan will
ask them what he can do differently to earn their support.
A series of reports from the field reportedly shows that
Vice-Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo, to be making progress with a lot of religious leaders,
especially in the North.
Several of the delegates that have arrived in Abuja said they were
invited by a variety of bodies, including the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN), which is headed by President Jonathan’s friend, Pastor
Ayo Oritsejafor.
