The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Tuesday, called for the
arrest of the former Head of State and Presidential candidate of the
Congress for Progressive Change, (CPC), General (rtd) Muhammadu Buhari,
following his frequent provocative statements.
The President of CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, in a statement signed
by his Media Assistant, Kenny Ashaka, and made available to Vanguard in
Abuja, said that Buhari, having in various occasions justified the
action of the sect…, therefore, he stands a big security threat to the
country’s corporate existence.
Oritsejafor maintained that it was so unfortunate that when every
Nigerian was praying for successful military onslaught on the
insurgence, Buhari rather than sharing the same feeling with
well-meaning Nigerians was busy indulging in careless statements,
without regards for victims of the sect’s violence who were mostly
Christians.
The statement read, “The retired General was widely reported by
several national newspaper Correspondents, who monitored the Liberty
Radio programme “Guest of the week”, to have questioned the “special
treatment” given to the Niger-Delta militants by the Federal Government
while the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses
destroyed by government.
“They (the Niger-Delta militants) were trained in some skills and
were given employment, but the ones in the north were being killed and
their houses were being demolished. They are different issues. What
brought this? It is injustice”, the former Head of State was quoted to
have said.
“I cannot wish away the outburst of harshly critical statements,
especially as some of them are directly related to the defense of the
Boko Haram sect whose members have continued to kill, maim Christians
and burn Churches. I feel the pain inflicted on Christians living in the
north is too deep for us in CAN to ignore any unsavoury statement that
tend to portray innocent Christians who have been killed by the sect
members as the aggressors.
“It is shocking that at a time well-meaning Nigerians are praying for
the success of our soldiers, Buhari, rather than reflect the mood of
the nation in his statements and conducts is indulging in careless
statements without regards for victims of the sect’s violence who are
mostly Christians.
“I have, several times been vindicated that Boko Haram is not
inspired by pecuniary motives, the latest of which is the statement by
Robert Fowler, the released former United Nation’s envoy to Niger
Republic who said in a BBC programme, “Hard Talk”, aired on Tuesday, 4th
of June, 2013, that his captors never talked of poverty, but
islamisation of Africa.
“Spent and defeated politicians with outburst of temper and elders
like Buhari who take delight in inflaming religious and ethnic passions
should, therefore, be arrested and made to explain some of the issues
raised by them. This is why I call for the arrest of Buhari now. Buhari
is a big security risk to Nigeria’s cooperate existence.
“It is laughable that Buhari, an ex-Head of State, a General in the
Nigerian Army who has served this country in different capacities would
support Islamists who are confronting those in his constituency who are
fighting to keep the nation from dismemberment. For Buhari who has led a
Brigade of troops in 1982 to repel invading Chadian troops from the
same north-eastern borders of Nigeria, the first major foreign invasion,
to oppose a state of emergency when some parts of Borno and Yobe States
had been occupied and the Nigerian flag replaced with theirs, burnt
Churches, schools, government institutions, killed innocent Christians,
attacked traditional rulers and others not sympathetic to their cause,
speaks volume.
“The retired General’s sad commentary has not portrayed him as a
national leader. As a retired General, he should have known that fights
against terrorists are not mere child’s play. They are much more
difficult than conventional war which he fought in 1982. If Buhari is a
national leader, he should have been more concerned about the killings
of innocent ones by the sect members and the success of the troops and
not that of terrorists as he has been doing.

I understand that this so called Buhari is above the law and the Nigerian Government? I see no reason why this man would not be arrested? It's glaring, vivid and distinct that Buhari is the brain behind Boko Haram Sect. He even has the impudence and effrontery to announce his interest for 2015. My take is that, the Government should rule him out of the Presidential candidate come 2015, If he contests and eventually wins that means the life of every Nigerian is at stake. So for this reason and many more government should stop him at the door.
ReplyDeleteThis antichristian and tribalistic fellow is what a renowned pastor wants to be vice to. God help Nigerians.
ReplyDeleteI said it long ago that (can)is more a poltical body than a religious association with hatred and hypocrise as it‘s main and major objectives but their stupid,blind members and followers agued it with me. And for you pastor ayo oritsejafor,were you dead when the president made a clear and understandable statement of knowing boko harams and for having them in his cabinet and every sectors of his govement.what actions of judgement did you idiots took, or is it that, the disease of hypocrise and that of hatred that is in you and your associate‘s hearts has become so critical that you idiots can‘t see or speeck the truth any longer? Now that you people come in the open to make us understand clearly that *(can) is a political party not an association i advice you idiots to quickly and hurriedup to inec for registrations so that nigerians will no the acctual politcal parties we have in this country. What an association of hypocrites,go and arrest him if you can!
ReplyDeleteMr. TarauniJune 5, 2013 at 7:03 AM! Now we all knw d real enenmies of dis country!! So u r supportg d KILLS, RAPE n SENCELESS PAIN, dat dese boko haram guys r doing! My Allah really 4give n help u.
DeleteYes. You don't need a prophet to reveal to you that Buhari is the brain behind Boko Haram. Why is he annoyed that the Boko Haram members are destroyed? If he is innocent, the Boko Haram would not have invited him for negociation. Gog will judge every man accordingly
ReplyDelete..is he a renowned PASTOR?. May God forgive all.
ReplyDeleteHe will be kill at last not only arrest why can he talk when they were bombing innocent people so he now know how they pain now....am very sure this man we not see the light of 2015 by the grace of our creator

ReplyDeleteBuhari is a defeated General .all the noise is out of frustration . He can never rule this nation .he doesn't have what it takes to rule this nation .
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that people are attacking the CAN president. He represents the churches and his members are slaughtered everywhere like goats. What would you do if you were in his shoes?
ReplyDeleteNigerian should shun Buhari with one voice. The time for Nigeria to divide is now since some people are above the law. If Mr president can be courageous enough, he should emulate the former defund Soviet Union president - who asked any group to secede if they want to go. There is peace in soviet union since then. This appears to be the only way forward. Now the north is making the country ungovernable because they are not ruling. Whenever a northerner becomes the leader, be rest assured the south will also make the place even more ungovernable. The best bet is to divide the the entity called Nigeria into say 10 countries or more for peace to reign, otherwise the worst is likely. THE TIME TO DIVIDE IS NOW!
SOONER OR LATER, BUHARI WILL BE ARRESTED! I SAID SO
ReplyDeleteIf can is a political body or not who cares, I am fully in support. About the Arrest of the so called general, how can a renowed person speak without mincing words about the barbaric actions of the sect, and this is not the first time for him to give an indicting statement about the activities of the sect. He should be arrested and interogated because in dealing with such a n evil sect no stone should be left unturned
ReplyDeleteunless God is dead, but since He is not, buhari, or boko haram can never rule Nigeria... Period!
ReplyDeleteCAN is not a political organization, but they have the right to talk on issues that affects it's members.
ReplyDeleteFor a rtd General to ake such an insensitive statement is on becoming, we all know who Buhari is, father of Boko Haram!
Pastor Ayo, may God bless you and continue to keep you, may God also raise fearless men to us like you.
I feel for all of our blind politicians who are rallying round Buhari for an empty merger that will soon crash!
By the grace of GOD he will never rule this country.
Buhari is a sinking boat, quite dangerous it can sink along with anything it carries. Followers of Buhari do that at their own peril. Buhari has nothing to offer. Your islamic and northern sentiments are all fake. You adorn the garb of religion to win political favour of the north. You are not a true Nigerian, you are a bigot and a regionalist you have no national interest. You are a pathetic looser. Your ideology of competition is that you don't have no one else should get it or enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteBuhari! Buhari!! Buhari!!! how many times did I call you. You are taking this you defeat so far. You are not the first person that lost election in this country. Zik didn't win. Awo didn't win. The were all better candidates than you. But they took it as act of God. They didn't pull down the country. I know you have the got to change things in this country for good but the way you are going about it you might end up having no country to rule. A word is enough for the wise
ReplyDeleteif buhari is nt arrested now for his implicating statements, l doubt if nigeria will nt be a history come 2015 coz he (buhari) has a conclave plan which is only known to his supporters nd him. I read one of his supporters comment which says arrest buhari if d FG can, l believe buhari is nt more dan a nation nigeria nd he's within d confinement of d nigerian constitution as provided. Too, if buhari is nt arrested, the issue of boko haram will nt be a history in dis country. GEJ shud never make a mistake by living in a fool's paradise, that's granting amnesty to those faceless idiots called boko haram.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteAND TO ALL HATERS OF GOOD WHO SMEAR BUHARI ---Your propaganda against good Nigerians like Buhari will end soon beacuse the issue of boko Haram is no longer Nigerian issue, it is now a world order and those killers in P-die-P that you are supporting will soon be smoked out in Jesus mighty name. And stick this in your brain and assimilate-the truth about Buhari is out and millions of Nigerians are now aware that people like you are been paid to smear innocent people because of your religion, tribe and political affiliations. BUT NO MORE BECAUSE NIGERIA IS BIGGER THAN A FAMILY, BIGGER THAN ONE RELIGIOUS GROUP, BIGGER THAN ANY POLITICAL GROUP AND DEFINITELY BIGGER THAN ANY TRIBE. READ THIS AND ALSO KNOW THAT BUHARI'S DRIVER FOR DECADES AND TILL DATE IS A CHRISTIAN. IT IS A SHAME AND VERY SAD TO WITNESS YOU SHAMELESS, BLIND, SPIRITUALLY DEAD, GREEDY BUNCH STOOP SO LOW AS TO SMEAR AN INNOCENT MAN FOR WHAT EVER REASON-THE ...WORST IS THAT YOU ARE PARADING YOURSELF AS A CHRISTIANS, WHAT A SAD, DARK PLACE YOU ARE IN RIGHT NOW!!!!

He is indeed a jihadist! Lets stop fiction of
hatred and face reality. We shouldn't just because we want to kill a dog and give it a bad name. This man also has a cook of many years and personal driver who staunch practising christains"
I like pipu like u who talks and back it up with facts nt some bunch of nonentities who just like to open thier mouth like dogs
Deleteits just a pity that we have politicized religion, religion should just be purely your relationship with your belief in your creator. here we have staunch Christian that are praying for the death of another human being. i tot the bible says dont judge and forgive. we all need to have a turning point and go back to God.
ReplyDeletethe fact that pastor AYO doesnt mention the muslims killed and mosques attacked who are more than xtain/churches made the whole show bigotic. Is he saying this on behalf of the whole Nigerian xtains? If the FED GOVT should arrest Buhari on the authority of CAN, is CAN expect the muslim community to keep quiet? Buhari is a politician, why do we mix religion with politics. Infact pastor AYO is the one making incisive statement and need to be arrested. is he trying to justify the rumour that he is working for PDP and private jet/presidency saga. We need to be more careful and somebody should warn CAN to stay clear of politics because BOKO HARAM issue is not ISLAMIC. By the time CAN instigate religious crises in Nigeria it will take different dimension. The clueless president has allow BOKO HARAM to cripple the whole north and yet some innocent citizen are still facing the onslaught from military operations, how do you expect this wanton destruction to exclude our brother xtains in the same vicinity. more than half of those killed so far are killed by security operatives; are they also sent by Buhari. Please Mr pastor, speak for yourself and not for entire xtains in other not to challenge entire muslims. thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe simple truth is that Buhari has no concern for the innocent souls being killed daily by BH but rather shielding the terrible evil with his opposing statement that rather trivialize the devastating bloodshed by BH. What a leader ? Just because u want to be a President once again. Why not sympathize with the Nation then get the Nation's sympathy?
ReplyDeleteso u ppl just know this cultist in world secrete society (not named) called ayo?.i knew him from my childhood.compare him with the words of the bible & u'c.his fellows who soports this killings, they are same.his chain is a sign.he has all of them in his body
ReplyDeleteGod bless u Pastor Ayo for standing out for us Christians. You are God's anointed and His mouth-piece. Make a declaration concerning Buhari and his other Boko-Haram sponsors - & in 7 days it shall be established.
ReplyDeleteAs for Tarauni or who ever you are... since u were not afraid to speak harsh words against God's people..., This is the Word of God to you: go into captivity of HARSHNESS; u have sown d wind, you are reaping the WHIRL WIND.
Don't be bias in ur reasoning & writing, Mr. Anonymous. Who killed d muslims in mosques? R they Christians? Why d attacks on Christians? Be careful how u speak against men of God, especially, Pastor AYO bcos u are playing with FIRE!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with u oritsejafor ? Are blind or deaf ? Were u not alive when jonathan said boko haram are among his cabinet ? What did u said dat time God will punish u n if buhari deserv arrest then u deserv to be kill
ReplyDeleteBuhari is in support of what bokoharam is doing, cos no good nigerian will give amnesty to the sect called boko haram, this people are terrorist not militant. Every1 should go and check the difference between those two words then you will know which side you should be on. And any1 who is in support of the sect, is an enemy of the enemy of this country and should be taking into custody and properly interrogated and investigated. Why did usa not give osama amnesty, as buhari is asking us to do, after all he only destroyed two tall buildings and two plane, but i cant count the number of lives and property this boko haram have destroyed and yet you useless muslims are in support of this buhari of a thing, even if a christian driver or a cook it doesnt make him a saint. Action speaks louder than voice, and to prove it, as he ever made a statement to console family of bokoharam victims?. NOOOOO!!!. But he knows how to ask for amnesty when his plan has been foiled. So all of you muslims that support bokoharam and buhari, you all will burn in hell fire in JESUS name. And your devilish plan for this country will never succeed. AMEN.
