Sani On Buhari’s Islamic Agenda: There’s A Dark Cloud Of Uncertainty Hanging Over Nigeria

There is a dark cloud of uncertainty hovering over our country, the Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial district, Shehu Sani, has claimed.

Sani, in a Facebook post on Friday, was reacting to statements credited to Geneneral Theophilus Danjuma and some elder statesmen, where the latter blamed the Buhari presidency for ethnic crisis in the country.

Danjuma, alongside Solomon Asemota, Joshua Dogonyaro and Zamani Lekwot, during a meeting organized by the National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF), had also blamed the Buhari administration for the agitation for secession in Nigeria.

But Senator Sani, in his reaction, urged Nigerians to disregard claims that the Buhari administration was out to Islamise the country.

“It’s unfair to President Buhari for any individual or group to accuse him or his administration of having any theocratic agenda.

“Other issues raised about his administration may or may not be true but certainly he is not a religious bigot. If there exist credible evidence of a religious agenda I’ll be one of the first to raise a voice.

“Elder statesmen should champion the cause of peace and national unity and not aggravate the crisis. In this inflammable or combustible state of our country, we don’t need more bellows of ethnic smokes or religious flames.

“We must balance our natural passion to defend our ethnic and religious rights and our moral duty to preserve peace and our constitutional responsibility to preserve the unity of our country.

“A dark cloud of uncertainty hangs over the sky of our country, it’s our duty as patriots and men and women of conscience to stand and to speak to dispel it.

“Ethnic and religious sentiments are corrosives inimical to our existence as a country and as a people. We can collectively extinguish the infernos of agitations by standing up for our country,” wrote Sani.
