Who's A Religious Bigot? by geniusbami(m): 5:49pm On Jan 26, 2015
No President of Nigeria has attended OIC (Organisation of Islamic Countries) meetings in the last 15 years until President Jonathan attended an OIC meeting in late 2014.

Buhari never attended any OIC
meeting and refused to join the OIC even though he was a military Head of State possessing
immense powers.

Who's a religious bigot?

At the Presidential campaign rally of GEJ/Sambo rally a few days ago in Jigawa State on January 21st, 2015, in the presence of President Jonathan, Vice President Namadi Sambo stated in Hausa: "Buhari ya dauko pastor a matsayin mataimakinsa kunsan coci nawa yake dashi? Yanada coci 5000, don haka karku zabesu.
The translation is "Buhari has selected a pastor as his running mate; do you know how many churches he has? He has 5000 churches. So, based on that, don't vote for them". That's a clear incitement of Muslims against Christians.

Who's a religious bigot?

Sambo also said at that rally that the PDP is the most Islamic Party in Nigeria because nobody can be more Muslim than him. He said that his name is Namadi which is a derivative of Namadina, meaning someone from the Medina in Saudi Arabia. At the Rally in Jigawa State Sambo also stated that he goes for the Hajj every year.

Sambo then asked if anyone could claim to be more Muslim than him Namadi Sambo. Then he shouted Allahu Akbar (Allah is great) several times. To close his speech he recited the AlFatiha, (The Opening, the first seven verses of the Holy Quran, which for Muslims is the Mother of the Book, highly revered by all).

Despite the fact that Buhari is a Muslim, he never whipped up any religious sentiments in all his rallies, even among the core islamic states in the North.

So, Nigerians, judge for yourselves; who's a religious bigot?
