With barely five weeks to the general election, President Muhammadu Buhari has accused some Nigerians of using religion to foster their economic and political agenda.

He said only the continuous education of a large number of citizens would expose such people.

Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, said President Buhari made these remarks at Nouakchott, Mauritania, while meeting with the United States Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, Rashad Hussain.
