Tinubu, Like Past Presidents, Won’t Islamise Nigeria – Masari

The Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, has said that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, will not Islamise Nigeria if elected in the 2023 election, as speculated by his opponents.

The governor noted that since past presidents like Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan didn’t attempt to christianise the country and President Muhammadu Buhari didn’t islamise Nigeria, then Tinubu will not if elected President.

He stated that Tinubu, when he was the Governor of Lagos State, protected the interest of both Christians and Muslims.

Stressing that Tinubu was the most qualified, Masari said even a blind man would pick the APC flag bearer ahead of other presidential candidates.

According to Masari, “Leadership is about justice to the people, even to animals. Lagos is a mini-Nigeria. Both Christians and Muslims, and pagans are in Lagos.

“At a point in time, you cannot drive in Lagos with your car windows widely open because of thieves.

“But when Tinubu became governor for eight years, he brought sanity to Lagos.

“It is baseless to express the fear that Tinubu will Islamise Nigeria. Did Buhari Islamise Nigeria after seven years in office?

“Did Obasanjo Christianise Nigeria after eight years in office? Did Jonathan make Nigeria a Christian country after six years in office?”

Speculations have been rife that Tinubu could Islamise Nigeria after he settled for a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

But such speculations were downplayed by Tinubu, stressing that his wife, Remi was a Christian and an assistant pastor.
