Minister of Transportation,
Rotimi Amaechi has jokingly thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for not
converting him to Islam despite being accused of trying to Islamize Nigeria.
The minister made this
known at the valedictory Federal Executive Council meeting at the State House
Abuja yesterday Wednesday, May 22nd.
According Amaechi, he was
almost chased out of Christ the King Catholic Church in 2014 for supporting the
president, who they alleged was trying to Islamised the country.
“Mr President, let me thank
you for not converting me to Islam.
I say that specifically because in 2014
when I walked into Christ the King Catholic Church, I was literally chased out
of the church as a governor because I was accused of supporting a man whose
agenda was to Islamise Nigeria.
And in Rivers state they
began to call me `Alhaji Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi’. I thank you because they
have dropped the `Alhaji’ and back to Mr Chibuike Amaechi,’’ he said.
Amaechi further revealed
that many initially thought that Buhari would be an autocratic leader but were
disappointed to see he’s an extreme Democrat.
“I was told in the course
of the campaign that you were autocratic and therefore you would not be
democratic. Most of us are not happy that you have moved from your autocratic
nature to an extreme democrat that everything puts to test of the people, to
the extent that the people now feel that the only way things can go on in this
country is by the rule of law.
“We all know that the rule
of law is the beginning and the end of this government. Talking about the
financial impunity that we saw before, people were making money without having
any productive capacity for that’’ he said
