Buhari Should Not Be Sworn In With The Quran – Etcetera Writes by shedrack222: 9:39am On May 16, 2015 |
A lot of Nigerians do not know that Nigeria is a secular state and they are also not aware that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria does not require that Buhari take his oath of office by swearing with the Quran. The drafters of the constitution made it crystal clear that any Nigerian of any faith or no faith can hold any office. It would have been very easy for the constitution drafters to include it in our constitution that the president should be sworn in with the Quran. But they didn’t. In other words, placing a hand on a Quran while reciting the presidential oath is simply a tradition that is not backed by the constitution. Meaning, it is absolutely unnecessary. http://www.punchng.com/columnists/etcetera/buhari-should-not-be-sworn-in-with-the-quran/ 13 Likes

Yes.Quran or no quran,bible or no bible,our politicians are fond of breaking their oaths,stealing and wasting our hard earned money.Whether baba one chance swears with quran or not,it doesn't stop him from doing what he wants.That is Nigerian politicians for you. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Taking the oath of office by placing your hand on the Bible, Quran or the Constitution doesn't guarantee good governance. I am indifferent to these biased criticism. All I want is good governance where the common man will live a reasonable life and be proud of being a Nigerian. 35 Likes |

So his final point is that Buhari shouldn't swear with the Qur'an because oath taken is forbidden in the Bible. This Guy is an hypocrite and a Religious Bigot. 50 Likes 1 Share |
