Presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, has told
Christian clerics that he cannot Islamise the nation.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday,
Buhari said this during a meeting with Catholic
bishops at the Pope John Paul Centre in Abuja.
Buhari said he would always put Nigeria first if
elected into office, adding that when he ruled
Nigeria between December 1983 and August 1985,
he did not impose Islam on any individual.
He said having served in the military, he had been
posted in several parts of the country and served
alongside people of different religions and tribes.
He said the Peoples Democratic Party had succeeded
in misrepresenting him to the Christian community
because they could not sell their candidate
He said, “I would like to solemnly declare that in
spite of what our detractors say, I am not a religious
fanatic of any sort and I have never been. In all my
life, I have never supported extremism of any kind.
Indeed, it is very unfortunate and I feel extremely
sad that I have to give this type of assurance.
“My background is in the army, and there is no doubt
that the military is the most integrated pan-Nigerian
institution. And even today, the military is one of the
institutions that represents the pride of our nation’s
possibilities in unity.
“Compatriots from every corner of this country come
together, work and live together, entrust their lives
to each other and integrate their families. It is a
military where many of my dearest friends, from all
faiths and parts of the country, lost their lives
defending the unity of our nation. That was the
military I served in, and in that military it was
impossible to be a bigot.”
He said in governance, competence should always
come before religion and that was why as head of
state, he appointed 11 Christians as governors out of
the 19 states.
He said religion comes from personal conviction and
should never be used to gain political advantage.
He noted that his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo,
was not only a lawyer but a senior pastor.

Taqiyya you lying Muslim scumbag

Nigeria needs an anti-Balaka movement like what they got going in Central African Republic.

buhari is more christian than jeg

When I read some of the information on how Buhari ruled Nigeria,how he imprison Alex Ekweme etc and all the wicked things he did to nigerians,is difficult to trust this man with our future.Does it mean Apc can't present another credible candidate like fashole,oshi,Ameachi etc.Why this tyrant and serial failure.

Too late,. . You are a risk we can easily avoid. Your numerous outbursts on sharia are well documented. Daura needs you more than the whole Nigeria.
