Honourable Okorie Asita, the All Progressives Congress deputy governorship candidate in Rivers state, comments on the allegations related to the party’s presidential candidate, Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

In particular, Asita spoke about Buhari’s purported plans to Islamise Nigeria if elected, PM News reports.

Speaking at Obi Wali Conference Centre in Port Harcourt, the lawyer characterized the widely circulating rumour as brainless, immoral and cheap.

The APC’s guber candidate mocked the Peoples Democratic Party telling its members to look for a more creative lie because Nigerians are tired of the acting administration’s incompetence.

According to Asita, the poor governance today makes it impossible for conscious Nigerians to remember the lies of the proponents of Islamisation.
He also inquired why the PDP-led government, which has been obtaining loans from Islamic Banks, attending Organisation of Islamic Conference and building Almanjiri Schools in northern Nigeria, never misses a chance to accuse the opposition.

Asita noted that Buhari, when he was a military head of state, neither took Nigeria to the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC), nor did he ever attend their meetings.

This, however, has never applied to President Goodluck Jonathan, who has been actively participating in the above-described.

In conclusion, Asita urged the South-South to vote for competent leaders and reject those focusing on blackmail.

Thanks for exposing the double standard of the Nigerian government.
