Friday Olokor, Abuja

The Christian Association of Nigerian has condemned the killing of Christians in Southern Kaduna describing it as ethnic and religious cleansing by “Islamic fundamentalists disguising as Fulani herdsmen”, with evil intention of wiping off non-Muslims.

While commending President Muhammadu Buhari for his relentless war against the Boko Haram terrorists since assumption of office, CAN however, said it was pained by “his silence over the ongoing genocide in the last few weeks.”

The General Secretary of CAN, Dr. Musa Asake, said Buhari’s silence over the ongoing genocide in the last few weeks “speaks volume over perceived official endorsement of the dastardly and ungodly acts.”

He said, “In view of the present predicament, the President of CAN has directed that Sunday January 8 2017, should be declared national day of mourning by Christians including those in Diaspora.

“We are to pray fervently for our Southern Kaduna brothers and sisters who are victims of these wanton killings and also for the peace of our dear country Nigeria. Therefore, all Christians are to dress in mourning attire of black clothes or dresses in all our church services on January 8 2017. We are to pray that God who delivered the Jews from Haman should deliver Christians from Hamans in Nigeria. An injustice to one is an injustice to all.”

CAN also called on all Christians in Nigeria and on the global scene to speak against the “ethnic and religious cleansing to wake up the Nigerian security agencies from their deliberate slumber to carry out their responsibilities.”

Asake said, “Though the church in Nigeria since 2009 has been subjected to a systematic genocide and persecution through the instrumentality of Islamic fundamentalists Boko Haram, leading to the killing of thousands of Christians and destruction of hundreds of churches, and over 50,000 houses, the current unprecedented onslaught against Christians in Southern Kaduna by the Islamic fundamentalists disguising as Fulani herdsmen under the watch of Kaduna state governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and President Muhammadu Buhari has reached an alarming stage.

I pitied those that lost their families to this barbaric act.
May God console them.

Considering the history of violence against minority Christian communities, Buhari's silence is extremely painful pill to swallow. If placed side by side, such violence equals BH.

.
...and funny enough he will quickly send a condolence msg to his foreign counterparts even when it's only one person that got killed

The president's silence indeed means endorsement. For Hell-rufai, God will judje him for his role in these wanton killings. The security agents deployed to Southern Kaduna are not to be trusted or relied upon. God have mercy!

How can baba talk or interfere in the sk matter.. When chicken laps and new year fried rice is in his mouth.

He didn't follow those who give a Bleep that way

It is pathetic

Janetessy:
It is pathetic

What would you do in his place ?

His silence = Approval

of course he's in support of his 'herdsmen' cousins. how can a country progress without Justice?

I wouldn't curse buhari.. he has cursed himself.


May there soul rest in peace.


Nb: all the yeyebrities would not pray for southern Kaduna if it is France now they wouldn't let us hear word.

Hmmmm

Pray for your leaders, that they may have the required wisdom, caurage and be patriotic enough or do what's right. You do not know the satanic forces that seek to make them incapable of governance.

Islamic jihadist genocide, UN is keeping quiet and Afonjas are happy.

The Great King is coming.

The Great Recompenser of all deeds, good or evil

Eerie silence .... Ethnic Cleansing it is

My dear it so disguising of killing beings in that maner. God help us.

You think an Islamic bigot will care that his fellow extremists are killing 'infidels'? I bet he hosts them to secret appreciation parties for jobs well done.

It's unfortunate that politics is been played over human lives by this administration. This is too bad for our nascent democracy.

We in New Nigeria Vanguard say no to Violence by the Fulani Herdsmen.

Human life is sacrosanct an should remain so.

Jihad spread in Nigeria. Caliphate in El r u fail, Buhari and co mind. When people like us say that most crises in the North are voluntary targeted on non-muslims and tribe even Boko Haram reign, some will never believe or accept it, painful this is the situation we found ourselves in the name of One Nigeria. But my hot advice to them this is that the heavy money they are pumping into jihad spread in Nigeria, adopting girls from South, luring poor people to join Islam and mass killing innocent civilians across Nigeria particular in the Northern part could have been most useful if the resources are pump into developing the region and delivering its people. I said this because ever since I grew up this trend has been in the North, Wanton killing. And governor, El Rufai know this boys, according to his statement. I always say no peace anywhere in Nigeria until the right things begin to happen. El r u fail and his collaborators should accept the fact that Nigeria is a 'secular' society and nothing more, I have accepted that and further believe firmly that restructuring can change Nigeria fortune.

ok.

Na today? Buhari has been known to tacitly support Islamic jihadists. He said war against Boko haram is war against the north because Nigeria had a southern Christian president then. I am not surprised he remain silent. A leopard can't hide its skin.
