Why I endorse Buhari/Osinbajo ticket (Part 3)

-Pastor Sunday Adelaja

Here we are continuing with part 3 of this 6 part article.
Part 3. Is Gen. Buhari an Islamic fundamentalist?

Ecclesiastics 10:16–17
16 Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child,
And your princes feast in the morning!
17 Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles
and your princes feast at the proper time —
For strength and not for drunkenness

‘Plato is my friend — Aristotle is my friend — but my greatest friend is the truth’. Therefore I say ‘Jonathan is my president, Goodluck is a Christian, but Nigeria is my greatest love’

You can sell that propaganda to anyone but a thinking person, this propaganda is the cheapest and the most unthoughtful by people who use it.

1) If Gen. Buhari had been a fundamentalist, he would have Islamized Nigeria the very first time he became the head of state and had all the military power. A time when no one could tell him what to do or what not to do. I was a young man in Nigeria at the time of his presidency and I remember clearly the kind of awe and fear everyone had for his government. Almost nobody could stop him from doing whatever he wanted to do at that time. So if he had wanted to Islamize Nigeria why didn’t he do it then? Remember that both Gen. Buhari and his deputy Gen. Tunde Idiagbon were committed Muslims, yet they did not Islamize Nigeria. So it is ludicrous to bring forth this argument in a democratic setting.

Hello my dear, propagandists of the theory of Gen. Buhari being an Islamic fundamentalist, why didn’t he turn Nigeria into a Muslim state when he had all the power in a non-democratic system of Government? If he didn’t do that when he had all the 3 arms of government, the legislative, executive and judiciary in his hands, What makes you think he would be able to do that now? Even if he has that intention now, when he has just one arm of government, the executive in his hands, he still cannot with such a formidable opposition in PDP.
Who on earth is believing this type of propaganda?
Friends wake up!

2) Why is it that it is not Buhari that took us to the organization of Islamic cooperation (OIC)?
The documents are there to prove that it was Babangida’s government that did it, contrary to the rumors dubious individuals are spreading about Buhari.

3) Contrary to the wide spread belief in some circles in Nigeria, Buhari is not the sponsor of Boko Haram and it is so sad that Nigerians will be so mischievous to be saying things they cannot substantiate. How do I know this? Because the track record of Gen. Buhari tells us that he cannot be Boko Haram’s sponsor.
I was in Nigeria as a young man when another Islamic sect called Maitatsine was trying to rise up in the then Kano state much like Boko Haram is doing now, it was Buhari’s government that crushed the uprising in 1985.

Matthew 7: 16- You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?
Jesus said that by their fruits you shall know them not by people’s propaganda, the fruits of Gen. Buhari’s life prove to me that he is the direct opposite of what the propagandists say he is.
The fact that Gen. Buhari crushed the uprising of Maitatsine radical Muslim uprising shows that he has what it takes to deal with the present predicament we are facing with Boko Haram.

4) As an Army General I think Gen. Buhari has the rudiments and qualifications to adequately respond to our national security challenges. Especially with him coming from the north and a Muslim. It would be easier for him to crack down on Islamic extremism because he will not be accused of discrimination because he is not a Christian who could later be accused of discriminating against Muslims.
