The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Major General Muhammadu Buhari; his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo; APC national Chairman, Chief John Odigie Oyegun , Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, Pastor Adeboye and other APC chieftains were among eminent dignitaries that stormed Lagos State on Sunday for the 2015 annual Thanksgiving Service of the Lagos State Government.
Buhari, who spoke at the event held at the State House, Ikeja, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria on Sunday evening said he believed every Nigerian should be free and secure to practice their different religion.
“I am honoured to participate in this annual thanks giving service. This year’s thanksgiving service brings together all Nigerians from all state, Christians, Muslim and all religion in Lagos to thank the almighty God.
“Religion must never be used as an excuse to divide us, oppress others or gain unfair advantage. All my life I have expressed the belief that all Nigerians must worship God according to their wish,” he said.
According to him, “the duty of government is not religion, security for all Nigerians regardless of tribe or religion is our commitment on this day of thanksgiving. We shall all sit together like this, rejoice and thank God together for the Almighty God to give us the country of our dream.”
