Osinbajo speaks on Buhari’s alleged plot to Islamize Nigeria



Osinbajo assured that neither Buhari nor anyone in the current government was plotting to impose any single religion on the country.
Addressing a mammoth crowd during his unique Family Chat at Kurudu, FCT, Osinbajo said the propaganda peddled by naysayers was aimed at discrediting President Buhari who already has a record that shows he is a detribalized leader.
Osinbajo pointed out that over 20 Christians are currently in Buhari’s cabinet.
He said: “I have interacted with this man Buhari, he is an honest man, he has no intention whatsoever of imposing his religion on anybody at all.
“In our cabinet, there are 20 people who are Christians, 18 who are Muslims and our Head of Service (Winifred Oyo-Ita) is a Christian from Winners Chapel.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (Boss Mustapha) who is the highest civil servant is also a Christian, so there is no way in the world that anybody will tell you that.
“They are only spreading propaganda and they are trying to discredit the man (Buhari) but they are telling a lie.”
Osinbajo also recalled that those peddling the rumor previously lied that President Buhari was sponsoring Boko Haram and had told the terrorist group to attack the Jonathan government.
In 2015 when we were coming into office, they said this man (Buhari) is the one sponsoring Boko Haram, they said it was because he didn’t mean well for Jonathan’s government, but it was a lie because on 24th July, 2014, Boko Haram attacked Buhari in Kaduna, killed 82 people including seven of Buhari’s relatives who were with him.
“That is the same Boko Haram that they claimed he was sponsoring but now everybody knows that his not behind Boko Haram, the same Muhammadu Buhari is the one who drove Maitatsine out of this county, when Maitatsine was in this country and he is doing same thing to Boko Haram,” he said.

POLITICS Atiku Blows Hot, Says Buhari’s Statement Inciting To Electoral Violence The Presidential candidate of the  Peoples Democratic Party  (PDP),  Atiku Abubakar , has lambasted  President Muhammadu Buhari  for saying that ballot-box snatchers will pay with their lives. In a statement on Monday by his media aide, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said Buhari’s statement shows that the  “retired general”  is only showing his true colours and “complete” disregard for the country’s law. The statement read:  “We were shocked to hear General Buhari live on national television threatening to kill people for an offense where no such proscription exists under law. The last time we looked the death-penalty was not a sanction of the 2010 election ac “In fact, threatening people with death in the context of an election is an incitement to electoral violence, which is an offense under that act. “Once again General Buhari is showing his true colours and c...

Eddie Howe blames defeat on Bournemouth players

Eddie Howe refused to blame anyone but his own players for their 5-1 hammering at Arsenal, saying "every aspect" let them down. Howe's men matched their worst away run in 85 years - nine straight league defeats - with a 5-1 thrashing at the Emirates on Wednesday night, having trailed from the fourth minute in north London. The timing of the opening goal, scored inside four minutes by Mesut Ozil, particularly irked Howe after he had called his side "exciting" pre-game, and he said: "They were too good for us, it was a difficult night. We never truly recovered from the start, and it was uncharacteristic. "I don't think we were good in any aspect of the game, with or without the ball, mentality wasn't great, it's been disappointing and we need to reflect on it honestly. " Despite their performance, Bournemouth found themselves back within a goal of their hosts at the interval after Lys Mousset's goal on the half-hour...
