Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye has mocked the All Progressive Congress, APC, over the hiring of Bishops during the unveiling of Kashim Shettima, as the presidential running mate of Bola Tinubu.

Melaye who took to his twitter handle to lambast the party, said the presence of the alleged bishops at Shettima’s unveiling had exposed APC’s desperation.

CEOAFRICA had reported that some persons robed in apparel peculiar to that of Christian clerics, attended the event to show support for the APC vice-presidential candidate, during the occasion of his unveiling held at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja on Wednesday.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), had criticised the APC, saying “artisans” were hired to act like clerics.

Reacting to the development, Melaye said Reverend Fathers don’t wear cassocks outside mass service.

In a tweet, Melaye wrote: “Reverend fathers do not wear cassocks outside mass service. Desperation raised to power 1000.”
