Nigeria Cannot Be Islamised-osibanjo by pcei: 12:06am On Jan 06, 2017 |
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday
enjoined faith-based organisations in the
country to shun rumours that the
administration of President Muhammadu
Buhari was moving to Islamise Nigeria.
He told religious leaders after receiving the
Lifetime Achievement Award of the
Student Christian Movement of Nigeria
(SCM) in his office, that they should dwell
on facts.
Recall that before the election in 2015,
Prof. Osinbajo spoke out that the All
Progressives Congress (APC) was not
secretly plotting to Islamise Nigeria if it
won the election.
Osinbajo
He again reaffirmed that stand stressing
that the rumour making the rounds about
plans to make Islam the official religion of
Nigeria were unfounded as the country
“can’s be Islamised”.
Osinbajo emphasised that it was
impossible to Islamise the country given
the 1999 Constitution that forbids state
religion.
He urged religious bodies to channel their
energies towards proffering solutions to
the numerous challenges facing the
country.
The vice president also challenged
Nigerian youths to wake up from slumber
and take advantage of abundant
opportunities in ICT, agriculture and other
sectors.
While noting that the opportunities were
far much more now than they were in the
past, Osinbajo harped on the need for
young people to take responsibility for
their future and be creative.
He also emphasised the importance of
using the internet to acquire knowledge as
well as learning a second language to
boost their global competitiveness.
Expressing appreciation to SCM for the
honour, the vice president solicited the
organisation’s assistance in disseminating
factual information about the Federal
Government’s policies and programmes.
Earlier, the National President of SCM,
Rev, Eric Ighalo, commended the
government for its social interventions
such as the N-Power initiative and the
conditional transfer scheme.
Ighalo expressed the willingness of the
body to partner with government in
several areas including serving as
government ambassadors in their
constituencies.
The SCM national president said that the
award was conferred on the vice president
in recognition of his integrity and
outstanding leadership he had
demonstrated over the years.
The award presentation, according to him,
culminated the 75th anniversary of the
organisation-source Vanguard

He should bother himself more with better things than trying to reassure some defitist morons in society. No sane Nigeian will be talking about a topic like this. Islamize Nigeria. A country that had a christian President just a little above a year ago and a Pastor Vice president currently with the christian population this huge and you force Islam on them... Iraq has an active catholic christian population let alone Nigeria. Fake Nigerians just like drama. |
