The former Head of State, who spoke through the Vice Presidential candidate of the APC, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, at an inter-faith engagement in Kaduna on Wednesday noted that he has never supported any form of extremism in his life, noting that it is the antics of the Peoples Democratic Party to use religion to divide the country.
Buhari noted that in spite of what detractors had said and still saying, he was not a religious fanatic of any sort “and I have never been.”
“I would like to solemnly declare that in spite of what detractors say, I am not a religious fanatic of any sort and I have never been.
