OSINBAJO: Jonathan Is Islamising Nigeria by LRNZH(op): 7:55pm On Feb 05, 2015

The vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has debunked insinuations that the APC presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), has a plan to Islamise the country.

Osinbajo, who met with professionals in an interactive session in Warri, said Buhari had refused to give in to pressure to get Nigeria into the Organisation of Islamic Countries between 1984 and 1985 when he was Head of State.


A statement on Thursday quoted the senior Advocate of Nigeria as saying that it was Buhari’s successor, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, that enlisted Nigeria into IOC through military fiat in 1986.

Apart from Babangida, he pointed out that the only other Nigerian head of state that had attended the IOC summit was President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party.


The APC vice-presidential candidate said those accusing Buhari of being a Muslim fundamentalist and campaigner of Islamisation of Nigeria were distorting history.

Osinbajo said, “Throughout his period as military head of state, Buhari was under intense pressure to drag Nigeria into the IOC, but he never yielded because he respects Nigeria as a secular state in line with the constitution. Besides his cook and driver are Christians

“When Gen. Babangida eventually dragged Nigeria into IOC, none of the successors ever attended any of its meeting because they know to Islamise Nigeria is very difficult as you need to first get the constitution amended. That process, you know, is almost impossible.

“But it is on record that in 2013, President Jonathan, undermining the constitutional limitation, ensured that Nigeria attended an IOC meeting.”

Osinbajo also visited the Chief Tuesday Onoge-led faction of the Urhobo Progress Union, where he talked on the imperative for men of integrity to lead Nigeria.

Why are you without integrity Mr. Snake? What lie has Prof. Osinbajo spoke?

Read:


The administrations of Murtala/Obasanjo, Obasanjo/Yar’Adua, Shagari/Ekwueme and Buhari/Idiagbon refused to sign to Nigeria’s full membership of the OIC despite pressure and intense lobbying. They maintained that Nigeria is a secular state and not an Islamic country.

A French news agency reported that Nigeria was admitted into the OIC as its 46th member in January 1986. Ebitu Ukiwe, then a Navy Commodore and second in command to the then Military Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida, had it rough with that administration when he declared publicly that the decision to join OIC was not discussed at any level of government. Mr. Ukiwe’s denial of the decision reportedly led to his forceful exit from government.

General Sani Abacha maintained Nigeria’s membership despite calls for withdrawal from various groups. There have been calls to withdraw Nigeria’s OIC membership but as at this day, Nigeria remains a full member of the OIC, and the President appoints delegates to represent Nigeria at OIC conferences.

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was the head of Nigeria’s delegation to the OIC Islamic Summit in February 2013. Please see the full delegation list in the image below, and the complete attendance list on the OIC website here.

Sambo telling Northerners that GMB is not Muslim enough because he has a pastor of a denomination with over 5,000 churches as his running mate is definitely an Islamization process
