Dr. Cosmas Ilechukwu said: \u201cThe idea of an Islamic banking in Nigeria is an impossible construct and an unmitigated effrontery to our constitutionally guaranteed secularity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Imo CAN Chairman also warned that Ngeria is a secular state that allows different religious faith to pursue their religions without molestation, adding the country equally recognises and respects the multi-religiousity of her citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt must be reiterated that Nigeria is not a multi-religious country but a secular one that recognises and respects the multi-religiousity of her citizens\u201d, Rev. Dr. Ilechukwu reasoned.<\/p>\n<p>He further warned that \u201cto allow Islamic banking in Nigeria is an invitation to chaos as other religious groups can also call for their preferred banking system\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Answering another question, Dr. Ilechukwu wondered if the CBN Governor is an Islamic cleric or a professional banker hired by the federal government to oversee the banking sector of the nation\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCAN demands that the federal government stop Sanusi from his religiously motivated divisive action disguised as banking reform.
