President Bola Tinubu’s decision to cede the two ministerial slots from Taraba State to the Muslim community seems not to have gone down well with the Christian community.
  
In a statement, yesterday, Taraba State Concerned Christian Youths saw the nomination of two Muslims from the state as ministers by the President as a “deliberate act against the Christians, who are the majority in the state.”
  
The statement signed by the chairman, Dr. Adi Allahkyauta, urged the President to do the needful by replacing one of the nominees with a Christian. Arguing that even when prominent Christian politicians in the state sacrificed a lot for Tinubu to emerge as President, he still went ahead to sideline Taraba Christians in his selection of ministers.
  
Describing the move as a “deliberate act of marginalisation,” the cleric urged the President to “listen to the voice of Concerned Christian Youths as he did in the case of Kano” in which he replaced Maryam Shatty.

The group noted that the governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state is a Christian, who “sacrificed a lot to see the President emerge.” The two ministerial nominees, who the group said are both Muslims, are the former acting governor, Senator Abubakar Danladi and Alhaji Uba Maigeri.
