Adebayo Shittu, a former Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General
from Oyo state has been screened by the senate.
During his screening, Shittu denied claims that he was indicted for
religious intolerance. He said he is not an extremist or fanatic but
respects God and believes every Nigerian should be morally upright and
work towards a saner and more Godly society.
He called for the advancement of free education to effectively curb youth excesses and restiveness.
He also called for religion to be made compulsory in our constitution.
He said the senate should have a chaplain and an imam so as to encourage religious activities in the country.
Asked what reforms he will carry out if he was made Attorney-General, he
said training and re-training was important. He also said car loans
must be introduced so as to spur the workers to work more effectively.
On Boko Haram, he condemned their activities, said it was not Islamic
and refrained from talking much about them for fear of being killed as
has been the case of other Islamic leaders that have publicly spoken
about the sect.
