I'm not a religious bigot - Ajibola

Date: 2015-01-29

The Kwara State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Senator Simeon Sule Ajibola yesterday denied being a religious apostate.

The clarification came on the heels of his campaign posters pasted around strategic locations within Ilorin metropolis where he appeared with turban on his head.

He said that he was not responsible for the posters, explaining that it might have been produced to discredit him.

The senator spoke with reporters in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital after a thanksgiving service organized by his party at Saint Barnabas Church.

Ajibola explained that although he had a Muslim background, he would not compromise his faith as a Christian.

The Bishop of Anglican Diocese of Kwara, Rt. Rev Olusegun Adeyemi, urged Nigerians to obtain their permanent voter’s card (PVC) to exercise their franchise in the elections.

The cleric warned politicians not to lose their eternity because of elections.

He called on them to inculcate perseverance while embarking on their political activities.

However, Ajibola said he remained a faithful christian and would not been inpostor on the altar of politics.

He said: “There can never be any deceit on the issue of faith. The issue of religion, which is faith-based is between an individual and the God Almighty. And one can chose to practice it the way he so desires. Senator Simeon Ajibola, I’m a Christian and there is no doubt about that. I may have the Muslim background.
