Igbo leaders accuses FG of Islamizing Nigeria

Igbo Leaders of Thought yesterday accused the Federal Government of pursuing an Islamisation agenda of the country, using the current killings of Nigerians across the country by Fulani herdsmen as reasons for the allegation. They also dismissed the “Electoral Reform Committee,” set up by President Buhari last week, saying that “It has nothing to do with us.”

Chairman of the Leaders of Thought, Prof Ben Nwabueze, who spoke shortly after their opening session, said that the “Islamisation agenda of the President Muhamadu Buhari’s administration “is real.”

Speaking to newsmen, Prof Nwabueze said: “This is a very crucial meeting for us because we have not met for more than a year. And if you look at our agenda, such critical issues for discussion, issues like Islamisation agenda and its impact on the unity of the country. “Islamisation agenda is real, it’s not something that somebody has just conjured up. It’s there. And it’s being implemented gradually. “Look at the security agencies; every aspect of security , Muslims are in control in its entirety. They are doing it methodically; the way they are going about its implementation. Look at Fulani herdsmen menace, it is part of it.”
