PoliticsNGR has been furnished with a statement from the Nigerian presidency signed by Spokesman, Femi Adesina, containing President Muhammadu Buhari’s reaction to reports of a plot by his government to Islamize Nigeria.
The President described the reports as ‘False
and Wicked’, adding that he remains committed to Freedom of Religion in
the country. The Statement read;
“It has come to the notice of
President Muhammadu Buhari, ahead of the forthcoming elections, that
some unscrupulous Nigerians are again falsely and wickedly claiming that
the administration has an agenda to impose Islam on Nigeria.
The
objective is clearly to stoke up religious division for political
gains. Some of these same persons made these devious and fabricated
claims ahead of the 2015 election. They failed woefully.
The
President strongly affirms the oath he took before the Nigerian people
to faithfully defend the Constitution of Nigeria. That Constitution
guarantees freedom of worship for every Nigerian. It is this guarantee
that enables all Nigerians to practise their faiths or religion without
hindrance.
President Buhari further affirms his commitment to
freedom of religion and worship for all Nigerians, and that under no
circumstance will any religion or faith be imposed on any Nigerian.
It is dangerous, deceptive and ungodly to play politics with religion.”
