Ia viral sejak pagi tadi dengan ramai yang mengkritik kenyataan menteri tersebut yang seolah-olah cuba menyamakan kedudukan Najib seperti Allah.
Namun laporan berkenaan dinafikan oleh Ismail Sabri dengan alasan bahawa laporan tersebut telah dituliskan secara 'out of context'.
Kata Ismail Sabri ;
Sumber.Speaking to The Star Online, the Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister said he was quoted out of context by Sabah Daily Express in a report which has gone viral on social media."The headline is wrong! Even the statement is not correct," he said, referring to the daily's headline 'Don't believe Najib means don't believe in Allah'."In my speech, I said Datuk Seri Najib had taken his oath in a mosque, reciting 'Wallahi Wabillahi Watallahi'."As Muslims, we need to believe Najib's oath that he did not know or have anything to do with the individual said to have been linked to him. That is all," Ismail said.
Ismail Sabri juga menambah bahawa dia mempunyai saksi di tempat kejadian ketika mengeluarkan kenyataan berhubung isu sumpah dan pembunuhan Altantuya yang dikaitkan dengan Najib bagi menafikan laporan oleh Sabah Daily tersebut.
Laporan Sabah Daily menyiarkan kononnya kenyataan Ismail Sabri agar masyarakat mempercayai sumpah Najib kerana ianya dibuat mengikut protokol dan jika enggan mempercayai Najib bererti kita tidak mempercayai Allah memandangkan sumpah berkenaan selaras dengan kehendak Islam.
