Ohanaeze attacks Buhari over OIC meeting
President Muhammadu Buhari
The Igbo sociocultural
organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari
for attending a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Countries in
Saudi Arabia less than 24 hours after his swearing-in for a second-
term.
In a statement by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, the group said Buhari owed Nigerians an explanation.
Ohanaeze said, “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.’’
Ohanaeze said, “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.”
The group also attacked the Majority
Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, for
travelling to Saudi Arabia for lesser Hajj.
The statement 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.
