Expecting the APC to field a christian as it’s presidential candidate is like expecting ISIS to declare the Pope as it’s leader. It is like expecting Al Qaeda to declare the Archbishop of Canterbury as its Supreme Commander. It is like expecting Al Shabab to declare Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God as it’s Field Marshall. It is like expecting the Al Nusra Front to declare Dr. Olukoya of the Mountain Of Fire Ministries as it’s political facilitator.
It is like expecting the Muslim Brotherhood, the Janjaweed, Daesh, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Khorasan and the Taliban to declare Bishop Mike Okonkwo, Pastor Kumuyi, Bishop Oyedepo, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Rev. John Hagee, Rev. Creflo Dollar, Dr. B.O. Ezekiel and the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa as their spiritual mentors and elder statesmen. Such a thing can never happen. Those that think otherwise are simply naive.
Let me be very clear here. I have nothing against Muslims. As a matter of fact I have nothing but respect for all those real Muslims that believe in a secular state, that believe in peaceful co-existence, that have no issues with those that do not share their faith, that do not use violence and terror as a means of effecting their purpose and that see religion as a purely personal affair. Most of my Muslim friends fall into that category.
Such is my liberal disposition when it comes to members of other faiths that on 17th Jan. 2013 I actually tweeted that I believed that Nasir El Rufai, the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and Babatunde Fashola, the Governor of Lagos state would have made a formidable combination as Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates respectively for the opposition in 2015.
They are both Muslims but I didn’t care simply because at that time the APC had not been formed as a party and the opposition had no religious or Islamist agenda. At that time they still harbored a certain level of decency, respectability and sanity.
Sadly today, just under two years after that suggestion was originally tweeted, the APC has not only been formed but it has also transmuted into a political party that has decided to use Islam as it’s primary tool of mobilisation and main source of motivation. It also has strong links with Boko Haram.
I have said it before and I will say it again: the APC is the political wing of Boko Haram and Boko Haram is the military wing of the APC. The two are soul mates. This is in the same way that Sinn Fein was the political wing of the Irish Republican Army and the Irish Republican Army was the military wing of Sinn Fein.
The suggestion that anyone should support a party such as this, a party that has a clear and distinct islamisation policy and agenda, a party that has strong covert links with Boko Haram and a party that, at least up until very recently, wished to field a muslim/muslim ticket is repugnant to me. It turns my stomach, it vexes my spirit, it troubles my soul and it offends my sensibilities. That is why I oppose such a party and such a single faith ticket. [eap_ad_1] The truth is that if it ever got power the APC would use it to islamise Nigeria, to humiliate and degrade Christians, to marginalise moderate Muslims, to undermine and destroy the Church of Christ and to implement a covert Boko Haram agenda. I have no apology to anyone for taking this position because it is based on nothing but truth. There is no doubt that there are quite a few people in the APC that are not muslim fundamentalists.
Sadly though those people are in a party that is infested with and in the control and power of jihadists, religious zealots and islamist extremists. This is a party that has defended Boko Haram on several occasions and whose supreme leader and leading presidential aspirant has espoused, endorsed and consistently enunciated some of the stated objectives, ideals and philosophies of Boko Haram such as the spreading of sharia law all over Nigeria, including down to the south.
Only an intellectually challenged person or someone that is blind, naive, irresponsible and shortsighted would support such a party. That is why I left them and that is why I am committed to opposing and exposing them. They are cult-like in all their ways, they are dangerous to the future, peace, unity, stability and well-being of Nigeria and their intentions for this country are absolutely evil.
