The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, and his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, were on Sunday, January 4, in attendance at the interdenominational Lagos State Thanksgiving Service

Also in attendance was host governor, Babatunde Fashola, his wife, Abimbola Fashola and General overseer of the Redeemed Christian church of God, Pastor Adeboye and his wife.

The thanksgiving service was held at the state house arena in Ikeja.

Buhari, while speaking, expressed his joy at being part of the event, added that religion should not be a source of division among Nigerians.

He said: “I am honoured to participate in this annual thanksgiving service. This event brings together all Nigerians from the state ─ Christians, Muslims and other religions in Lagos ─ to thank the almighty God.”

“I believe that every Nigerian should be free and secured to practice their different religion. Religion must never be used as an excuse to divide, oppress or gain unfair advantage. All my life I have expressed the belief that all Nigerians must worship God according to their wish.”

“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 him to give us the country of our dream.”

Other dignitaries present at the thanksgiving included APC National Chairman John Oyegun, Rivers Governor Rotimi Amaechi, among others.
