Deborah Samuel: You’ve Lost Our Votes Too – Nigerian Christians Tell Atiku

Christians in Nigeria have withdrawn their support for Atiku Abubakar, a presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Oriental Times reports that this occurred as a direct result of Atiku’s decision to take down a post in which he had previously criticized the killing of Deborah Samuel, a student at the Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto.

In a tweet, Atiku had expressed his disapproval of the murder and stated that there was no excuse for the terrible act.

His Muslim brothers, on the other hand, reacted angrily to his message and threatened not to vote for him in the 2023 elections. Because of this, Atiku was compelled to delete the tweet.

Because of this, a number of Christians have also stated that they will not vote for Atiku even if he gets the presidential ticket of the PDP.
