I had to make this thread to set the record straight after seeing several posts here by the APC urchins blaming the PDP and GEJ for introducing religion into our politics.

While religion has always been a consideration among voters and even Military regimes in choosing who occupies both the President/Head of State as we can see from Murtala/Obasanjo and then Obasanjo/Yaradua to Shagari/Ekweme, it was Buhari after toppling Shagari that relegated that arrangement and went for a Muslim deputy in the form of Idiagbon.

IBB will settle for a Christian deputy in the form Ebitu Ukiwe. Ukiwe will later resign his position and was replaced by Augustus Aikhomu and even Abacha had a Christian deputy in the form of Diya.

Abdulsalam settled for Michael Akhigbe a Christian and with the return to democracy, Obasanjo picked Atiku (A Fulani Muslim) as his deputy; Yaradua will settle for Goodluck and Goodluck will have Sambo - a northern Muslim.

Buhari will relunctantly settle for Osinbanjo after the Muslim-Muslim ticket was resisted by members of his own party prominent of which was a northern Muslim - Saraki.

It is important we lay bare the fact that religious persuasions in picking deputies has always been the norm and was meant to assuage the populace of a balance within the helms of affairs.

However, it is important to note that the antecedents of Buhari going against the norm in picking a fellow Muslim candidate went against the tide.

But most importantly is to consider the utterances of Buhari in 2001 and 2003.

In 2001 while attending an Islamic seminar held in Kaduna as special guest, Buhari declared his unequivocal support for the Sharia project and his commitment towards ensuring that Sharia law is universally applied within our polity.
Here are his exact words;
“I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria”

He then added that;

“God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country”.

Buhari an advocate of sharia was chosen to address that seminar in Kaduna because of his advocacy and he did not disappoint because he is one of the boardroom voices of Sharia.

Now fastfoward to 2003 general elections with Buhari contesting against the incumbent, Obasanjo and this is what Buhari declared;

"Muslims should vote for only Muslim candidates that will defend and uphold the tenets of Islam"

Buhari made the call while attending a Quaranic recitation competition organised by the Zamfara state governement where he further stated to the audience that they had "every reason to thank Allah for restoring sharia" which he further claimed was "destroyed by the British Colonialists during their crusades in 1903 against the Sokoto Caliphate". Emphasis on the word Crusade!

The APC urchins failed to factor all these sectarian speeches and call for the return to the glory of the Caliphate through the re-enactment of Sharia law not only in the Muslim north but all over our polity by Buhari but rather chose to go all out and blame GEJ for pandering to religious persuasions by attending Church services.

This ploy was meant to sway ignorant Christians who bought the propaganda and saw GEJ's open display of worshipping in a Church as a desperate bid to get the fence-sitting Christian votes.

It worked!

For some reason this is tolerated and acceptable:



While this is absolutely haram:

This is a sign of depression. This guy is suicidal. Family and true friends should rally round this guy.

There is no Nigerian living or dead that is as divisive and sectarianist like Buhari !!! Buharis is not even fit to be a wild animal in the bush but rather should have a special place in hell where the fire shouls be made hotter . Its good that most Nigerians have arrived at a consensus that he has to go
