Chairman, Christain
Association of Nigeria, Kaduna State chapter, Rev John Joseph Hayab, on Sunday
warned the National President of the Miyetti Allah over a statement that could
set the country on fire.
In a statement on
Sunday, Rev. Joseph Hayab warned, that no well-meaning individual should use
the name of an association or platform like Miyetti Allah to make such serious
divisive statements like the one he made.
The truth is that
Nigeria does not belong to any ethnic group, section or religion but to every
one of us. Making such false claims as that of Miyetti Allah’s President only
creates tension and fuel crisis.
Recall that the National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Abdullahi
Bodejo had said that, “Nigeria belongs to the Fulani, and they will rule
forever”.
Rev. Hayab noted
that such statement by the president of the association confirmed that Fulanis
do not wish Nigeria to live in peace and unity.
According to him,
”CAN, therefore, calls on the Federal Government through the DG SSS and IGP to
have a session with the ethnic superiority champion to school him on the
diversity of Nigeria and the need to restraint from such reckless statements.”
“All well-meaning
members of the Miyatti Allah group need to urgently disassociate themselves
from the provocative statement linked to the group as proof that the speaker is
not playing a script.
“Without a doubt,
there are members of Miyetti Allah who love this country genuinely, craving to
see the country grow in peace and develop in every sphere. The statement
credited to the group’s President is not a popular view, as such, needs to be
publicly opposed,” the statement said.
Rev. Joseph Hayab
who is also the CAN Vice-chairman of the 36 states including Abuja, said that
Nigeria’s problems are numerous; from insecurity to a bad economy and now the
COVID-19.
“CAN, therefore,
does not want to add to the barrage of problems the country faces by letting
unscrupulous people make grave and ungodly utterances that have dangerous
security implications.
“Nigerians will wait
and see what the Federal Government through her security agencies will do about
this inflammatory statement unless if we have separate laws for different
groups of people in this country,” the statement added.
