Babatunde Gbadamosi Warns Against Plot to Islamise Nigeria

The popular political critic, Babatunde Gbadamosi has taken it upon himself to warn Nigerians of the threat of the islamisation of the country by well known power brokers. He has taken to his Twitter handle to air his findings and state his opinions on the subject matter.

According to him, the issue of bringing Nigeria fully into the Islamic fold is not a new plot. Recall that Ibrahim Babangida was accused of the engendering the very idea when he was the head of state, especially when he registered Nigeria as a member of the OIC, Organisation of the Islamic Cooperation. Babatunde Gbadamosi reveals that he has been sounding this warning since the time Musa Yar’Adua was the president of Nigeria.

He tweeted, “You were warned for years about Islamisation and Fulanisation. During Yar’Adua’s administration, I warned you, because I realised he was the second governor to adopt Sharia law, just after Zamfara.

When he appointed Lamido Sanusi Lamido as CBN governor, I researched his writings on Gamji.com, and saw a thinly disguised jihadist. I warned you. Vanguard Newspaper warned you.

Before Sanusi selected the top.5 Southern-owned banks to take over, and recruited allies amongst the elite and fellow bankers to do the deed, we warned you. We begged the President then to remove him.

He Ignored us until Sanusi decided to attack him directly by accusing him of stealing $10b oil funds, then $20b. That was when the danger he represented became apparent to @GEJonathan. It was already too late at that point. He had successfully contributed, SUBSTANTIALLY to the erosion of confidence in that Christian-led government and in the person if the President himself.

When Buhari flagged off the Fulani insurgency during his 2011 electoral campaigns, we saw the dog whistle and warned you. The killings that followed the election have not stopped since, and BH emerged from that confusion.

When Buhari & Marwa went to berate Lam Adesina in his office after aggressive Fulani herdsmen had been repelled in Oke-Ogun by Yoruba farmers, we warned that Buhari must NEVER be allowed into office in Nigeria. Some selfish gits were eyeing his “12 million Northern votes”, & instead saw an ally, despite his very public pronouncements on Sharia.

When @elrufai promised to kill anyone who killed a Fulani person, regardless of their offence, we warned you if Fulanisation, but you naively ignored.

When Minister Wike’s official warning against allowing schoolchildren in rural areas taking their WAEC exams outside of their state capitals was ignored by Governor Shettima, we shouted, you ignored. #ChibokGirls were kidnapped, and their principal was made State Commissioner for Education by Shettima. We shouted , you ignored.

El-Rufai has spoken publicly now, but you’re still ignoring.

Take whatever comes.”

Mr. Gbadamosi has described himself as a "Lagosian with a passion for development, urban regeneration and human capacity development, unapologetically Yoruba."
