PDP Leader calls Buhari Sharia Apologist; Urges Christians to Vote against Him
A chieftain of the Edo state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, Hon Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbonayinma, has urged Christian communities across Nigeria to ensure General Muhammadu Buhari is not voted into power in 2015.
Agbonayinma, in a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday, claimed Buhari is against the christianity religion and is only pretending to be in support of it because of his desperation to get elected as president.
He said: “It is indeed worrisome that General Buhari has become very desperate to win the presidency, hence his overture to the church, where I gathered he is now being taught how to sing Christian songs which he will sing during campaign.
“This is patently unacceptable as this dubious romance runs contrary to Buhari’s antecedents and the records of his public positions and declarations on the issue of religion.
“This is a man who had, in the past, cared less about hurting the sensibilities of Christians with his fanatical disposition about Muslim religion.
“He said in August 27, 2001 that he would ‘continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria,’ and was quoted to have further declared, ‘God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country.”
