Nigeria, Osinbajo

Recall that before the election in 2015, Prof. Osinbajo spoke out that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was not secretly plotting to Islamise Nigeria if it won the election. He again reaffirmed that stand stressing that the rumour making the rounds about plans to make Islam the official religion of Nigeria were unfounded as the country “can’s be Islamised”. Osinbajo emphasised that it was impossible to Islamise the country given the 1999 Constitution that forbids state religion. He urged religious bodies to channel their energies towards proffering solutions to the numerous challenges facing the country. The vice president also challenged Nigerian youths to wake up from slumber and take advantage of abundant opportunities in ICT, agriculture and other sectors. While noting that the opportunities were far much more now than they were in the past, Osinbajo harped on the need for young people to take responsibility for their future and be creative. ]]>
