Speaking shortly after a church service, Josiah said that since independence, the nation had never had it so bad since politics had turned into a religious matter.
According to him, some candidates are now elected rather than being chosen based on their qualifications.
He claimed that "Shehu Shagari, Sir. Ahmadu Bello, and Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe respected all religions during their times since no religion is more powerful than any other.
“In Nigeria today, it’s a religious affairs. Nigeria no longer believes in a qualified candidate, rather the person’s religion.”
He described as unfortunate, the politics being practised by the new generation of politicians, adding that by introducing a Muslim-Muslim agenda, the other religions would have no say in the government.
