FORMER head of state and presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, in Kaduna, on Wednesday, said he had no agenda to Islamise the country when elected president.

The APC candidate, speaking through the vice presidential candidate of the party, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, disclosed this at an interactive session with religious leaders in Kaduna.

Buhari noted that in spite of what detractors had said and still saying, he was not a religious fanatic.

“I would like to solemnly declare that in spite of what detractors say, I am not a religious fanatic of any sort and I have never been.

“In all my life, I have never supported extremism of any kind, and nowhere in my record of service to our nation can this false toga, which political traducers have tried so hard to put on me, be substantiated,” he said.

According to him, “it was part of the antics of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to use religion to deceive Nigerians on the inevitable change in the country, ahead the rescheduled March 28 presidential election.”

Buhari said the PDP was only using religion, which he described as a “matter of personal conviction,” to divide the country.

“Let me state this categorically that, I, Muhammadu Buhari, as an individual, and as a president, if given the opportunity to serve, have no personal religous agenda and will not entertain, consider or promote the religious agenda of anyone,” he said.

In a question and answer session, he denied the insinuation that his party had signed a secret pact with the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, apparently to favour his party.

According to him “if we have anything in common with Jega, it is the issue of card readers, which we have also supported.”

On the sponsored documentaries, Buhari remarked that he was not bothered with the campaign of calumny which had been ongoing in some selected electronic media to disparage him, describing such move as a distraction by the ruling PDP.

The former head of state, however, blamed the regulatory bodies for being partisan, adding that “I consider all these as unnecessary attempts by the PDP to create confusion or heat up the polity.”
