The association told newsmen at a briefing in
Ondo state on Thursday, June 2, that there
were strong indications that since Buhari
assumed office last year, his administration
had taken pro-Islamic policies which give
reasons for credible apprehension.
The CAN Chairman in Ondo state, Reverend
John Ayo Oladapo, expressed fears that the
build-up of some of the policies of the
federal government may result in a full-
blown Sharia which Buhari was alleged to
have promised Muslims in Nigeria.
According to Reverend Oladapo, some of the
pro-Islam policies taken by the Buhari
administration so far include the inclusion of
Nigeria in the Saudi Arabia military coalition
of Muslim/Arab nations which makes Nigeria
a satellite state of Saudi Arabia.

And the president’s fiat and unilateral
decision to enlist Nigeria in the 34-nation
Muslim/Arab coalition negated what was
expected to be the priority of the president
which should be strengthening of democracy
and economy and security for all.
He said: “Given the emotive and sensitive
nature of this unilateral executive decision, it
should have been handled by Mr President
in line with our democratic culture through
popular discussion and participation by the
citizenry, or at least, through the National
Assembly.”
In another development, President
Muhammaudu Buhari has been urged by a
socio-political group, Assembly of Concern
Niger Delta People (ACNDP) to appoint his
predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, as special
envoy to Niger Delta.
Speaking on the backdrop of threats by
militants to continue relentless attacks on oil
and gas installations in the region, the
national coordinator of the group, Mr
Eperemor Governor on Thursday, June 2,
said the appointment of Jonathan as an
envoy would help ease the situation in the
Niger Delta region.
