Ahmed Yerima, former governor of Zamfara, has revealed why he introduced Sharia law in Zamfara state.<\/p>\n

The presidential aspirant said his promulgated of Sharia law in the state was in tandem with the constitution on the freedom of religion.<\/p>\n

Yerima spoke on Friday while addressing journalists after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA had earlier reported how Yerima said he had received go-ahead from Buhari to join the race for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/a><\/p>\n

The former Zamfara governor had, in October 1999, introduced Sharia law in the state, which several other states in the north subsequently emulated.<\/p>\n

Speaking on perceptions of him as a religious extremist, Yerima said he will fight the problem of ignorance and also ensure that whatever he does is in line with the constitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the issue of Sharia, I\u2019m a Muslim and I say everywhere I go, that I am a Muslim and I want to die as a Muslim. Like I said, I\u2019m going to fight the problem of ignorance and this is one of them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople don\u2019t know; a lot of people don\u2019t know that the constitution of Nigeria, section 38, has provided for freedom of religion, including the freedom to change your religion if you want to, to practise alone, or in community with others, in private or in public.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, as governor of the state, I followed the constitutional provision, prepared a law, sent it to the state assembly and they passed it into law and I implemented what the constitution of Nigeria has given me the powers to do, even in Zamfara state.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never, never required or asked or forced any Christian to follow Islamic faith because I would have done an unconstitutional act.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, if I\u2019m elected, by the grace of God, I\u2019m going to be elected under the constitution and I\u2019m going to take an oath to protect and defend the constitution of Nigeria. I will never do anything unconstitutional.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yerima also said if he is elected as president, he will focus on fighting insecurity and poverty.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have three points as well \u2014 to fight insecurity, fight poverty and ignorance. Some people think that if you say ignorance, you\u2019re talking of only western education. No. Illiteracy is different from ignorance. There are people who are professors, who are well educated in western terms, but they\u2019re ignorant of their society,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why you see people talking about rotational presidency as if it is an allocation of power. The constitution of Nigeria is very clear \u2014 every Nigerian is qualified to contest so long as he reaches the age prescribed for different offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, every Nigerian is qualified so long as he follows the constitutional provisions of this country to contest for any office and aspire to any office of this country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
