The group claimed that the objective of ‘political Islam’ is to supplant the constitution of Nigeria with Sharia ideology as the source of legislation in the country.
It challenged Muslim leaders who have denied the claim, to explain a recent statement made by Abubakar Shekau, that the war being fought by Boko Haram was not a political one but a religious war.
The federal government however rebuffed the claims, stating that Buhari’s agenda was for a new Nigeria which is safe, prosperous, and free of corruption.
The National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) has insisted that there are plans by the federal government to employ jihad as a means to Islamize the country, Vanguard reports.
The group made its comments in a statement signed by its chairman, Solomon Asemota, SAN, titled 'Jihad in Nigeria: Burying the Head in Sand'.
