Islamization of Nigeria Can't Stand - Rev Nwachukwu

The General Overseer of Bible Base Assembly, Rev. Jeremiah Nwachukwu, has expressed firm optimism that the recent plot of President Mohammed Buhari, to Islamise Nigeria through the introduction of RUGA cannot stand.

Rev. Nwachukwu who spoke to  newsmen in Onitsha, the Anambra State commercial hub, said that Islamisation of Igbo race in particular is not possible.

Copiously quoting the scriptures, the cleric said that there are many devices  in a man's heart but only the counsel of the Lord will stand.



He said " Islamisation of Nigeria will not stand. It will not stand. Islamising Igbo race is not possible. God is still at work. Very soon this noise will be over".

He said there is a Constitution in Nigeria and no mater how imperfect it is, it is still the supreme document that regulate all our activities.

Nwachukwu noted that a Judge in Kaduna recently threw away the El-Rufai Law, directing every preacher in the State to get a license but the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigera (PFN) went to Court which declared it null, void and of no effect.

RUGA and Islamisation programme of President Buhari, said the cleric was dead on arrival because " when you are aware of your enemy's strategy, it will not work".

"I pity this administration. They will fail because they want to favour a particular section of the country and therefore will not achieve anything for eight years. God is a game changer. He will mysteriously change the whole thing for his people. Other religion fight for their God. Our God fight for us. So, Islamisation plot will be in vain as far as God remains the Commander in Chief of the universe" he said.

Rev. Nwachukwu however advised Ndigbo to prepare to remain in opposition as long as this administration remains in power because there was nothing  they contributed to earn them good position in this Government.

He said looking at the structure of All Progressives Congress (APC),Ndigbo should not  expect expect anything.

He said the position they even occupied in the past did not improve the status of Ndigbo in Nigeria.
"Ndigbo  have nothing at the table in APC to give us any position, so they should not expect something.

We should be prepared to play complete opposition in this administration. The position of Deputy Senate President will not add or remove anything from us. We succeed more when we are oppressed. We succeed more when we are called nobody. We get our best when we are challenged.That is when you see the best from an Igbo man" he said.

He advised that Ndigbo should not negotiate to be honoured but fight to be honoured. "And that is why we should remain opposition in this dispensation", he said.
