Religion must never be used by anyone to oppress or gain unfair advantage'- Buhari

He said this at the 8th edition of the Annual Lagos Thanksgiving Service that held yesterday. Buhari said religion must never be used to divide the nation or be used by anyone to oppress or gain unfair advantage.
"I am honoured to participate in this year's edition of the Lagos Thanksgiving Service. I am glad to know that this year's service has brought together Nigerians of all faiths just to thank and praise the Almighty God for his mercies. This is how it should be. Religion must never be used to divide or oppress others or gain unfair advantage. All my life, I have always held the belief that all Nigerians must be fee to worship God according to their beliefs. The duty of government is not religion, the duty of government is to ensure peace, security of all Nigerians, regardless of tribe, race or religion. And this is a commitment all of us must make in this service" He said

      @DacDuchess, you speak so ignorantly yet you speak that ignorance with so much confidence. In case you don't know,no single Nigerian president can change the nation to either a full Christian or full Muslim country. The president does not have the powers to make laws, the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY (senators and house of representatives' members) are the ones who make laws under our constitution.
      Besides,under the military regime when Buhari was head of state,he had all the powers in the world to do whatever he wanted or pleased with Nigeria and he didn't so how is that even go to be possible under a democratic setting with a legislature? Please read dear. Thank you.

      EDDY, Democracy can't be Anarchy..you follow protocols before bills are passed. These protocols involve a lot of Lawmakers so, realise that Buhari cannot and will not do wat u mentioned when he's President. GEJ has failed Children, father's and mothers. Let's have a Change of hands. GEJ clearly has the greediest of advisers and dogs who cannot bring fruitful ideas e.g Reno, Okupe etc His Administration stands for CORRUPTION. #Pointblank
