The top Igbo sociocultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has blasted President Muhammadu Buhari for appearing at a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Countries in Saudi Arabia less than a day after he was sworn in for 2nd term.
In a recent statement by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, the group disclosed that Buhari has some explaining to do to the citizens of this country.
The statement read, “Why immediate attendance of Organisation of Islamic Countries, OIC, meeting in Saudi Arabia a day after his swearing in. Mr President Buhari owes Nigerians that explanation.’’
“This is a secular country and a leader that wants to be a mullah or fanatic is free to resign rather than plunge us into a religious crisis.”
Ohaneze also slammed the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila for heading to Saudi Arabia for lesser Hajj.
They said, “Femi Gbajabiamila, a born again Christian turned into Muslim for political reasons is dangerous to our democracy.
“Although people have a right to change their religion, the sudden change from a Christian to a Muslim and his umrah journey to Mecca just to be Speaker is a bad omen.
“Can we trust such a character who can change his faith for power sake?”
