Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, this weeked cautioned the people of the Southern part of the country to remain vigilant even with the suspension of the controversial RUGA settlement for Fulani herdsmen.

The secretary of CAN in the 17 Southern States, Dr. Joseph Ajujungwa made this warning in a statement issued to pressmen.

Ajujungwa, who said the suspension of the programme by President Muhammadu Buhari may not be its end, said there was every indication “though it is claimed that it has been suspended, the underground work is still going on.” He called on every Southerner “to be watchful”, stressing that “even as we pray, we don’t need to keep quiet; they are experts in underground work.”

He added that “we do not have land to give to anybody as a grazing field or colony and we call on the South East governors to maintain their stand that they do not have such a place. Do you know what it means to give 10 hectares of land to herdsmen? We say no to that.

“As CAN, we will preach it from our pulpit, every Imam should peach from the mosque and the traditionalists should stand against it; nobody should relent; no land should be given; any traditional ruler that does that should be dethroned.

"In the North, we have largest hectares of land, very vast that nobody is occupying. Why are they not building the ranches, Ruga of whatever there? They can come here, take grass and go, and we buy cow in exchange, just like the governors said. We do not have such mass land required.”

“We are also calling on the Federal Government to be mindful of what they are doing because cattle rearing is a private farming business. Why should the government support individual cattle farmers against other farmers?” On the threat and ultimatum issued by a coalition of Northern Youths, Ajujungwa said “they should understand that nobody has the monopoly of violence. As they are planning to attack, others are planning to defend themselves and we cannot run away for them.

“CAN is calling on all Christians, all law abiding citizens of the Southern Nigeria to please watch and pray. Watch means that you must open your eyes to see what is going on and therefore pray; do not relent.

“Anybody that is coming to buy land now, in the name of business, factory, and what have you, let us be cautious in dealing with the person, because their plot is to turn such into colony”, the statement reads.

Me?

Am already planting my grasses, selling to highest bidder in the north as grasses are my own resources on my ancestral land.

The era of free grazing is drawing to an end.

Oshigun and manabbqgrills will now say that CAN has joined IPOB.

I like this strong statement!

I quote: "they should understand that nobody have monopoly of violence"

Kudos CAN!!!

They can come with any format they like, it won't work!

Buhari and co do not know that eventually Fulanis will pay dearly for this adulterous act the presidency is attempting.

Really?

if the FG is serious abt the Ruga plan, they should go to BORGU, a massive local govt in Niger, with a land mass of over 11,000 equipment to Rivers Landmass.

they should leave the south alone. we don't hv land oohhhhh
say no to land grabbing strategy

Na so

They will surely gather....but they will fall for our sake!

What has become of CAN

Thunder of God will locate them if they plan to continue their devilish agenda!

Chai .

Good job CAN!

Thank-You for speaking out in this very important matter.


Do you want to look formal & yet traditional? Senators Suit Styles Every Man Should Get <= Click here for exotic Senator Styles

Is it by force? The die hard attitude of the FG to implement this RUGA is starting to make me believe the FG have a hidden agenda. I mean the states concern say they're not intersted, why just why can't the FG let it go?

CAN is a political party!

They react quickly to national issues more than religious issues

na wao...how does RUGA relate to CAN if I may ask?


same CAN that couldn't response to COZA's case

Next time INEC is registering political parties, CAN should also apply....
They have already met 80% of the requirement, just logo and slogan na him remain......

Lol

If you know what you are doing, you guys won't be saying this. Check out the objectives of CAN as a body, you will understand better. You guys mistake CAN for a church. It is an "association" just like you have Nigeria medical Association, Nigeria Bar Association etc and it is part of CANs responsibilities to watchout for Christians in Nigeria, even if it means opposing political decisions that are harmful to the welfare of Christians

You just think CAN is a church or head of churches in Nigeria and therefore should stay out of politics. If it's Muric that's talking now, you won't mention a word about political party.

There are churches who aren't even members of CAN.

Let's be guided please. CAN is an association and they have the right to meddle in political, social and religious issues relating to christians.

Be Vigilant, Buhari has changed RUGA to National
Livestock Transformation Programme. Still the same
project with a different name.
Nobody should be deceived. The Fulani agenda is REAL

When I read on nairaland about how some people are trying to be politically correct for some stupid reason which I don't even know of, I just laugh.... Even a die-hard Buhari supporter like sarrki is worried about his farm in Taraba. If you know what they are planning for the whole South, you won't be coming on nairaland to write rubbish from your father's house.

Good

Okay

Time to start planting grasses for onward transportation to North for sale to highest bidder
We in the Niger Delta region have no land for any Livestock transformation Programme or Ruga.

How does coza affect your life?
You want them to leave big issues and allow these bastards in power to finish us.

Please when will INEC register this new political party called CAN?

So CAN is just waking up.
I propose the debarring of any Christian known to have supported or voted for Buhari.
They are of the devil

One thing Nigerians need to know... If our federal government want to force RUGA on us, they will. And nothing, absolutely nothing will happen. That's the plane truth....

any Christian that sleeps with two eyes closed in Buhari's government is gone
