I appointed more Christians when I was a Military ruler – Buhari

 

President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that his government has no hidden religious agenda.

He he appointed more Christians than Muslims when I was a Military ruler – Buhari urged the religious leaders to work towards the broader goal of building a strong and unified nation.

President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that there was no hidden religious agenda in his government contrary to the rumours being peddled by some Nigerians.

In a statement by his special adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, the president on Thursday, April 5, in Abuja, called on religious leaders to work towards the broader goal of building a strong and unified nation, and avoid insinuations that could divide the populace, especially along religious lines.

Receiving a delegation of the Arewa Pastors Non-Denominational Initiative for Peace in Nigeria led by Bishop John Abu Richard, President Buhari said religious leaders have the responsibility of creating an enabling environment for peace and development to thrive.

“Some voices, for political or ethnic reasons are making unguarded statements accusing the government and myself in particular of religious bias. “Let me assure you, honourable clergymen, that this is far from the truth. In my career as a soldier, administrator, and politician, I have never veered from my oath of office.

“When I had the honour to lead a Military Government there were more Christians than Muslims in the Federal Executive Council and the Supreme Military Council.

“This was not by design but I appointed people on their merit without the slightest bias. The present Federal Executive Council is also evenly balanced; again not by design but by respecting and rewarding individual qualities,’’ the President said.
