Umbrella body of Christians in Nigeria, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, last night protested the attempt by the current All Progressives Congress, APC, government to subtly enlist Nigeria among Arab nations to fight ISIS.
It was reported on foreign news last night that Saudi Arabia was building a coalition of 34 Muslim/Arab countries to fight ISIS and Nigeria was named among the 34.
A statement late last night by the General Secretary of CAN, Rev. Musa Asake, said: “This singular gesture of the Buhari government betrays so much, and tends to confirm our fears that underneath everything this government is doing, there is an agenda with strong Islamic undertones, aimed at undermining Nigeria’s pluralistic character and neutrality regarding government’s affiliation to any one religion.
“While joining hands with other countries to fight ISIS is something good, our country must not be tagged as a Muslim or Arab nation. Christians must make a public statement showing their discontent on this development which portends great danger to national unity and integration.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

When I said that APC (especially the person BUHARI) is an Islamic party in disguise, many of us including my friends from the south thought I was only a PDP bigot. But six months to this administrations, our fears are becoming real. May God save Nigeria from this subtle way of trying to enlist us into an Islamic country.

DeleteCHANGE CHANGE CHANGE. This is dispensation of deceit, we must not allow them to have their way. We are not a muslim nation.
ReplyDeletePlease Mr president Nigeria is a secular nation and not a musilem or an Arab nation.There are enough problems in the Land begging for solution.
ReplyDeleteThat is Change Nigeria need from Buhari government Hmmmm This is morning to Nigeria, Lets wait Mr change .
ReplyDeleteBuhari will lose the support of the Christian segment if he makes the mistake of branding Nigeria as an Islamic country. This will be a tragic mistake. We can join the effort to decimate ISIS but not as an Islamic or Arab state.
ReplyDeleteThis is not the time to cry, this is the change that only God knows what revealed about 600 Nigerian paators before the election. Buhari I say carry on Sir! Can the presence of Osibanjo stop you? No way!
ReplyDeleteAnd this mumu blind people will say IPOB's agitation is nonsense.

ReplyDeleteThe age-long ambition of Buhari is about to be realised.Several times in the past, he had made some statements or taken some action to butress his zeal as an islamic bigot.The secularity of Nigerian Nation, as embeded in the constitution cannot be compromised.We saw it coming, people were warned, but "Change" has come,even with #270 to $1. Well, as events are unfolding, we are watching.

I pray that anyone man or woman trying to tag me or my country as an arab county, holy ghost fire!!! from d unset I knw dis man hz an evil agenda for Nigeria. I mean I cant compromise my Christian life for any reason no matter what. Jesus I know, Mohammed or what ever he is called, I know not.
ReplyDeleteI am a Christian but this guy Buhari is unfolding his agenda to the nation as a whole, firstly fuel price is now going back to #97, machinates in the senate now passing bill that is contrary to the national constitution also the whole country now is elitisted as an Islamic nation. Congratulation Mr. President
