The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo
has dismissed reports that President Muhammadu Buhari has plans to Islamize
Nigeria.
Osinbajo assured that neither
Buhari nor anyone in the current government was plotting to impose any single
religion on the country.
Addressing a mammoth crowd during
his unique Family Chat at Kurudu, FCT, Osinbajo said the propaganda peddled by
naysayers was aimed at discrediting President Buhari who already has a record
that shows he is a detribalized leader.
Osinbajo pointed out that over 20
Christians are currently in Buhari’s cabinet.
He said: “I have interacted with
this man Buhari, he is an honest man, he has no intention whatsoever of
imposing his religion on anybody at all.
“In our cabinet, there are 20
people who are Christians, 18 who are Muslims and our Head of Service (Winifred
Oyo-Ita) is a Christian from Winners Chapel.
“The Secretary to the Government
of the Federation (Boss Mustapha) who is the highest civil servant is also a Christian,
so there is no way in the world that anybody will tell you that.
“They are only spreading
propaganda and they are trying to discredit the man (Buhari) but they are
telling a lie.”
Osinbajo also recalled that those
peddling the rumor previously lied that President Buhari was sponsoring Boko
Haram and had told the terrorist group to attack the Jonathan government.
“In 2015 when we were coming into
office, they said this man (Buhari) is the one sponsoring Boko Haram, they said
it was because he didn’t mean well for Jonathan’s government, but it was a lie
because on 24th July, 2014, Boko Haram attacked Buhari in Kaduna, killed 82
people including seven of Buhari’s relatives who were with him.
“That is the same Boko Haram that
they claimed he was sponsoring but now everybody knows that his not behind Boko
Haram, the same Muhammadu Buhari is the one who drove Maitatsine out of this
county, when Maitatsine was in this country and he is doing same thing to Boko
Haram,” he said.

Prof. Osibanjo! why do you allow yourself to be a useful tool in the hand of these people because of your position and money? Didn't you see what happened in Benue, Plateau, Kaduna, Taraba,Adamawa, Nassarawa, etc? Go and read 1John 2:15-17.You will be like Judas Iscariot later.
