The Vice-president-elect, Kashim Shettima, on Saturday, debunked the alleged plot by the incoming administration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to Islamise Nigeria.
The VP-elect who said this while speaking at the inauguration lecture of the incoming government in Abuja stated that if Tinubu didn’t Islamised his family, he cannot Islamise Nigeria.
He said, “I was a child of necessity, there is no Islamisation agenda. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a Muslim who is married to a Christian, not only a Christian but a pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
“Someone who has not Islamised his family, people are alluding that he has the intention to Islamise the nation.
“Politics is about perception. As we begin the formation of a new administration, I deliberately picked an Igbo man, a Catholic, to be my chief security officer.
“For the purpose of inclusivity and togetherness, again I deliberately picked a northern Christian to be my ADC. So the so-called founder of Boko Haram is going to be protected by….”
He said, “We are to serve. We are to listen. We are here to be held accountable. We are not sent on an evangelical mission. Therefore, like every mortal, we may stumble here and there. None of these mistakes could be intentional.”
“We shall never be oblivious of the impermanence of this power and we acknowledge that we shall be judged by man and God.”
