President Muhammadu Buhari has responded to reports flying around the he wants to impose Islam on Nigeria.

Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President, said, in a statement made available to Okay Nigeria, that allegations of Islamization linked to Buhari is wicked, deceptive and ungodly.

The statement reads, “It has come to the notice of President Muhammadu Buhari, ahead of the forthcoming elections, that some unscrupulous Nigerians are again falsely and wickedly claiming that the administration has an agenda to impose Islam on Nigeria.”

“The objective is clearly to stoke up religious division for political gains. Some of these same persons made these devious and fabricated claims ahead of the 2015 election. They failed woefully.”

“It is dangerous, deceptive and ungodly to play politics with religion.”
