The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has expelled reports that President Muhammadu Buhari has plans to Islamize Nigeria.
Osinbajo guaranteed that neither Buhari nor anybody in the present government was plotting to force any single religion on the nation.
Tending to a mammoth group amid his special Family Chat at Kurudu, FCT, Osinbajo said the promulgation hawked by naysayers was gone for undermining President Buhari who as of now has a record that indicates he is a detribalized pioneer.
Osinbajo brought up that more than 20 Christians are at present in Buhari’s bureau.
He stated: “I have communicated with this man Buhari, he is a legit man, he has no expectation at all of forcing his religion on anyone by any means.
“In our bureau, there are 20 individuals 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 most noteworthy government employee is additionally a Christian, so there is no chance to get on the planet that anyone will reveal to you that.
“They are just spreading promulgation and they are attempting to ruin the man (Buhari) however they are telling a falsehood.”
Osinbajo likewise reviewed that those hawking the gossip recently lied that President Buhari was supporting Boko Haram and had advised the psychological militant gathering to assault the Jonathan government.
“In 2015 when we were coming into office, they said this man (Buhari) is the one supporting Boko Haram, they said it was on the grounds that he didn’t have good intentions for Jonathan’s administration, yet it was a falsehood in light of the fact that on 24th July, 2014, Boko Haram assaulted Buhari in Kaduna, executed 82 individuals including seven of Buhari’s relatives who were with him.
“That is the equivalent Boko Haram that they asserted he was supporting however at this point everyone realizes that his not behind Boko Haram, the equivalent Muhammadu Buhari is the person who drove Maitatsine out of this district, when Maitatsine was in this nation and he is doing same thing to Boko Haram,” he said.
Meanwhile:
The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, on Thursday, responded to the case by a previous Minister of Defense, T.Y. Danjuma, of supposed plot by the President Muhammadu Buhari’s legislature to islamize the Nigerian legal executive.
MURIC asked Nigerians to overlook the charge by the previous Minister of Defense.
Danjuma, who as of late cautioned Nigerians that Islamists must not administer Nigeria once more, blamed the Buhari organization for islamization of the legal executive.
In any case, MURIC, in a press articulation by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, which was sent to DAILY POST, asked Nigerians to overlook the resigned general.
The islamic rights association portrayed the charge of islamisation as “outlandish, unwarranted and naughty.”
The announcement peruses: “Lt. Gen. Danjuma is attempting to deceive Nigerians. He is instigating them against Muslim pioneers. He and the individuals who went along with him in this last voyage to no place try to turn Christians and Muslims against one another. We won’t permit that. Such a move is self-serving and unfeeling. It is simply the street decimation. A house partitioned against itself can’t stand. We ask Nigerians to disregard them.
“Nigerians who are not casualties of aggregate amnesia will review that the call of ‘Islamisation’ has dependably been on the lips of Islamophobics from time immemorial. However no one has been Islamised. They raved over sukuk bonds until they saw its natural products being utilized to construct streets all over the place, including the South East. Of the 36 serves in the nation, 18 are Christians while 18 are likewise Muslims. Likewise, Christians were given two delicious posts by this Muslim president: the secretary to the Federal Government and the Chief of Staff. Where lies Islamisation plan? Islamisation or Fulanisation is an illusion, a ghost. It exists just in the creative ability of displeased components.
“Nigerians ought to ask Danjuma and his kinds the accompanying inquiries. Is it Islamisation to develop the Second Niger Bridge? Is it Fulanisation to revamp Lagos-Ibadan road? What number of the 9.2 million school kids who are being sustained free by this organization are Fulanis or Muslims? Is the new quick train in Abuja part of the Islamisation? What number of Muslims have taken the train without their tickets and what number of Christians have been walked out based on their confidence? Buhari might be a Muslim however his new streets know no religion. His trains know no religion.
“How might anybody translate the suspension of a very rich person CJN who has 55 houses in Abuja alone as Islamisation? The following qualified individual was picked for the post and that is fair treatment. What wrongdoing has he submitted for being a Muslim? By what method would that be able to be deciphered as Islamisation? Very soon it will be Islamisation for Nigerian Muslims to get work. It will be Islamisation if a Muslim eats. It will be Islamisation if the pilot of a plane or the driver of a transport is a Muslim. It is mass profiling and aimless slander of Nigerian Muslims.
“It is the Acting CJN today. It tends to be any Muslim tomorrow. MURIC will keep on guarding Allah-given essential privileges of Nigerian Muslims with each authentic methods available to its. No measure of extortion, terrorizing and verbally abusing can stop us. The two Muslims and Christians have the directly to manage Nigeria since this nation is a multi-religious state. We won’t stand akimbo and permit some self-acclaimed older folks to deceive Nigerians or to coerce or drive off Muslims who have initiative possibilities.
“Dynamic individuals around the globe are not utilizing religion as a model for picking their pioneers. They take a gander at industry, precedence, uprightness, capability and ethical quality. This ought to be the focal point of Nigerians. We should free ourselves from the subjugation of verbalized religiousity. Religion isn’t about despise, murdering and consuming. Religion is love. We were people before we thought about any religion. So religion is humankind.
“We charge Nigerians to be careful about merchants of detest. It isn’t religion. Nor is it ethnicity. We firmly speculate that TY Danjuma is requiring an individual pound of substance. The tap from which free cash has been streaming for such a long time has been shut by this organization. The Father Christmas mindset of past routines has offered approach to judicious administration of government’s assets. Oil licenses and squares are not being reestablished.
“No big surprise, in this manner, that a conspicuous individual from the modest scheme is expressing his anger on the Buhari routine. The electioneering time frame has been effectively expressed the idea. Be that as it may, Nigerians ought not be betrayed. It is neither about religion nor ethnicity. Generally for what reason are the applicants of the two driving ideological groups Muslims and ‘Islamists’? How did this happen regardless of all the commotion in the holy places that Christians ought not vote in favor of Muslim applicants? For what reason are the hopefuls of the two noteworthy ideological groups of Fulani extraction in spite of the clamor in holy places that Christians ought not vote in favor of any Fulani man?
“In all actuality the industrialist bourgeoisie political class to which the little scheme has a place are uneasy. They consider themselves to be the proprietors of Nigeria and they are profoundly stressed that control is step by step moving to the majority. They are only 1% of the populace. In any case, they are powerful to the point that they control 85% of the all out abundance of Nigeria. They control the media and they used to control government until 2015. The 99% who are the majority keep on battling over the sharing of the staying 15% of Nigeria’s assets. It can’t go round and this clarifies why we generally battle among ourselves. To exacerbate the situation, individuals like Danjuma and his NCEF infuse the opium in religion and the heroin in ethnicity into the framework to add fuel to the fire.
“It ought to be noticed that the NCEF has just been abandoned by the authoritatively perceived assemblage of Nigerian Christians. NCEF is close to a blend and an obscure classification, an undeniable irritation notwithstanding for Christendom and a shame for genuine and energetic Christians.
“MURIC advices Nigerians to ignore religious middlemen and profound snoops searching for a stage to release aerobatic religiousity and gymnastic otherworldliness. NCEF is fanning the coals of religious fanaticism among Christians. It can just prompt disorder. This is a gathering known for inciting inconvenience and for telling a shameful lie where there is none. Its stock-in-exchange has dependably been detest discourse and prompting.
“Lt. Gen. Danjuma Must figure out how to when in doubt refrain from interfering. We advise him that the world is viewing. We advance to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to call NCEF to arrange by and by. We call the consideration of remote onlookers, pioneers of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union to the prompting explanations of Lt. Gen. Danjuma and his companions.”
