CAN replies Buhari & Sultan of Sokoto on Religious Persecution..


Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has stated that it will stop complaining about religious persecution in the country only when all Nigerians perceive that the rule of law, fairness, and social justice are allowed in the country.

This was stated in a press release by its National Director, Legal and Public Affairs, Evang. Kwamkur Samuel, on Saturday, in Abuja.

This comes after President Buhari appealed to Nigerians not to allow terrorists divide the country along religious lines.

CAN added that discriminatory policies of government not only ran foul of democratic norms but were a form of persecution.

The body called on President Muhammadu Buhari to allow the Constitution to guide his administration in all its policies and operations.

The press release reads, “The country belongs to all Nigerians irrespective of their religious and tribal persuasions and any policy that is discriminatory is nothing but persecution.

“We call on President Buhari to be fair to all Nigerians. We would stop complaining when we see a just society where the rule of law, fairness, and social justice are allowed.

“When the President released Col Sambo Dasuki and Omoyele Sowore, we hailed him despite the fact that Dasuki is a devout Muslim.

“We want those still languishing in detention after court granted them bail to be released forthwith.

“Let genuine democracy work in Nigeria and every Nigerian given sense of belonging through inclusive opportunities.”

Reacting further to the claim by Sultan of Sokoto, Alh. Sa’ad Abubakar III, that there was no case of Christian persecution in the country, the Christian group reiterated that the revered Muslim leader was wrong.

CAN added that it would have been better, if the monarch remained quiet the way he did when large numbers of Christians were killed by marauding herdsmen in Southern Kaduna, Benue, Plateau, Adamawa and Taraba states.

“We respect the Sultan very much but what he said requires response in order to put things right.



“It is an insult and insensitivity for anyone to be claiming that the unprecedented persecution which victims are well known did not occur. It is also an act of disrespect to the dead.

“We are happy that the Sultan did not fault our claim that there was unprecedented killings in those areas. Maybe the security agencies would have helped us to unmask the culprits and their religion if they had not appeared powerless while the killings lasted.

“It is reprehensible that to date, those who killed our brothers and sisters after raping and maiming them for weeks are still at large as if they were spirits.

“On the observation made by His eminence that if there have been cases of Christian persecution in the country we would have raised it at the Nigerian Inter-Religious Council (NIREC), where the leadership of both religions meet, we wonder why the Sultan too could not come to NIREC to fault our position instead of using the public forum.

“The Sultan should not pretend as if he was unaware of several times we had gone to President Muhammadu Buhari to complain about systematic and deliberate killings of our brothers and sisters and the need for the killers to be brought to book and the killings stopped to no avail.

“The fact that we are meeting at NIREC does not mean that all is well. We believe that having dialogues with our Muslim counterparts can reduce the tension in the land if there is sincerity.

“As long as a highly placed traditional ruler who is also the head of the Muslims in the country is denying the obvious then we are not surprised that other Muslim groups talk in the same vein.

“The government to whom we had complained about the plight of our people in the hands of over-zealous Muslims who said they were fighting Jihad was not convincing enough to show us that the action was not deliberate. We as well complained about lopsided appointments, especially the security chiefs which has not been addressed till today.”

CAN told Sultan to shut and stop being hypocritical

I for one felt the Sultan was insensitive to the plight of many Christians in the Northern part of the country by claiming there's nothing like religious prosecution going on.

Is it Only the sultan.. All of them are

Issues like this pops Up

Fact

Terrorism has become a branch of Islam that Sultan of Sokoto has to defend.

It is very rare to see Muslims condemn the mass killing going on in Nigeria.

Can vs government.

Christians should stop persecution of Female Muslim students wearing hijab. Especially in Ondo, Ekiti and Oyo States.

Pastors should stop defrauding Christians with fake miracles and deliverance. CAN should audit all offerings and tithe collected by churches in Nigeria.

No persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

Useless sultan
All talk no substance

You're talking of persecution of muslims while the discussion here is about how Christians are being killed in spree.

Abeg fear God o!!

CAN should not politicize security in Nigeria. Everybody is not safe. Criminality knows no gender or religions. we should speak in one voice to condemn it

God bless CAN and its current leaders for standing up for the persectuted Christians of Nigeria. Enough of the killings of Christians in Nigeria. Everyone must stand up now and condemn the killings by these Muslim jihadists.
#prayfornigerianchristians should be all over the social media now.

If you serve in the north especially Kano state, you'll be given a pocket bible before leaving the camp. This goes a long way to prove how the Christians live up north.

Don't expect 'Satan of Sokoto' to admit the truth about the systematic killings of Christians currently going on in the north. He and his band of islamist fundamentalist are terrorist patrons and supporters.

What fulani herdsmen and fulani bandits have done is not criminality, it is terrorism. Fulani is the only ethnic group that practice terrorism and religious jihad in Nigeria.

There is nothing called one voice. There is only ethnic voice.

Tell them. Let's go CAN. The truth is coming out. Opposition is stiffening. Afenifere is speaking out. So is CAN, FFK,IPOB, ohaneze, punch news papers. 2020 is coming. Let people be free. We are Democratic freemen not slaves. We can't sit back and give everything we gained back to foreign Fulani touts.

OPC where are you. Bakassi boys, tiv, idoma, langtang mafia, where una dey. We need to separate this country from the Fulani. They started this misadventure. We need to end it

Buhari carefully turned a blind eye to the happenings in Kano where federal forces are being displaced by Hisbah.

The Judiciary has now been privatised and any criminal who is caught can always switch religion for a softer landing. He is talking about terrorists dividing us. What about Sharia proponents grabbing territories?

The floor is gradually being open for religious marketing. I laugh deeply.
