Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose Governor Nyesom on Saturday accused
President Muhammadu Buhari of mapping ways towards making Nigeria an Islamic
nation.
Fayose made the allegations while delivering a speech at the inter–denominational thanksgiving held in Port-Harcourt to celebrate the victory of the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike after the Supreme Court ruling.

Governor Fayose, who referred to himself as Peter,
the rock who cannot be harmed by anyone, announced to the crowd that he had a
secret to reveal. He asked those present if he should reveal the big secret
about the Buhari led, APC government.
After the crowd yelled that he should
reveal it, Fayose said: “They have started subtle moves to make Nigeria an
Islamic nation, but God will stop them. This was done in 1984, it failed, it
would fail again.”
To
underline an earlier boast that he could not be intimidated by the ruling
party, Fayose further stated: “I am not far away, I am in Ekiti. I am Ayo
Fayose, Peter the rock, if you hit me you will be in trouble. If I hit you, you
will be in trouble.”
To substantiate his claim about the
President’s plan to make Nigeria an Islamic nation, Fayose said: “Why did five
of them go to Saudi Arabia to wait for our man there (referring to President
Buhari and state governors), if they don’t have agenda.
“The agenda is coming small small, but we will
resist it. Nigeria is a free nation where we proclaim the name of Jesus Christ
freely, and we believe in Allah for those who are Muslims. This nation will not
be taken for an Islamic nation,” Fayose said.
As
a closing remark, the Ekiti State governor went on to declare and “decree” the
return of a PDP-led government in 2019.
