However, the attendance of the Bishops has attracted various reactions from individuals and groups such as the Catholic Church, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Christians across the country.

Amongst the ‘Bishops’ is presiding Bishop Of Peace Chapel Mararaba, Karu Local Government Area Of Nasarawa State who was said to be the leader of the Bishop’s Delegation to Tinubu/Shettima’s unveiling on Wednesday.
