Yesterday in Abuja, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN,
Youth Wing and four other affiliated Christian unions including Youth
Wing of CAN, YOWICAN, Arewa Christians Association, Concerned
Professional Christians, All Para-Church Organizations, Nigerian
Christians in Diaspora all accused President Buhari’s
administration of running Nigeria as a Muslim organization and
neglecting the entire Christian faith.
In a joint statement issued by
the five Christians associations and signed by the National President of
YOWICAN, Mr. Daniel Kadzai, the groupsaid, 'the worse form of social
injustice, terrorism and religious bias is to deny Christian children
their right to practise their religion despite the role of Christian
Religious Studies in helping to shape the moral character and integrity
of our children as future leaders'.
The
statement also reads, 'perhaps, it is in furtherance to its Islamic
agenda that the APC government appointed the likes of Prof. Ishaq
Oluyede, a known Islamist, who has never hidden his bias and prejudice
against Christians, to head a most relevant educational institution like
the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB. Despite the denial
that the government is not slipping Nigeria into an Islamic country as
evident from previous antecedents, Nigeria’s participation at the
Islamic solidarity sports federation speaks volumes and confirms the
obvious”.
'We can no longer also accept the
perpetuation of denial of placements for qualified Christians to ascend a
position even when they are qualified. Since 1999 no Christian has been
appointed minister of FCT, it is not by error it is a religious agenda.
“The Holy Bible says “…then you shall know the truth and the truth
shall set you free” (John 3:38)
Where the conscience of the nation is hinged on packs of lies, only the
truth can set Nigeria free. Not only saying the truth, but doing that
which is truthful! We cannot tolerate any further lies and
manipulations”.

Of course he's not using Oritsejafor's plane to move money.Nothing here made sense.Did Buhari block them from going to Church?If he trusts his Muslim brothers for efficiency, so be it.As long as Nigeria moves forward.
This allegation is a baseless one, since 1999, No Muslim has ever been appointed minister of Finance, and the Muslims never cry foul, until we live above religious/ethnic sentiment, we will remain where we are.
Christians were and are still complicit in the looting of Nigeria. Islam doesn't fare better either. Just leave religion out of it.
Let the youths from the North go to hell now. They should stew in their own juice. When their northern people were wresting power from GEJ, all of them supported the Northern Agenda. No single dissenting voice then. It is now that their eyes are opening. When they all saw child-voters, they did not say anything. What are they talking and complaining about now? Please, they should let us hear. We are now adjusting to what they agended for us. Finally, Nigeria is merely sitting on a time-bomb. If you like you can call it 'a keg of gun powder'. Period! If Nigeria's stakeholders dont want to come together and fashion out the way forward and how we will continue to be a one-nation as some are championing, one day we will all be in the battle field to sort ourselves out before going our separate ways.
BUHARI WILL SURELY MEET HIS WATERLOO
Now that religions leaders have join politics i wonder how the future will looks like. people that suppose to be father to all in respective of their religion.i wonder what this so call freedom of speech will cost us.we are now in a country that if the man no be from my religion he no sabi.
Competency is no longer the key but religion and political.i cry for our future.

I believe the problem of Nigeria has nothing to do with religion.Let's stop confessing patriotism and start acting patriotic,only then will Nigeria become what it really want to become.Please remove religion out of the equation.

CAN is absolutely right in its position and in all its statements. The abusive, insulting, disrespectful and shameful comments here are not surprising. Slavery is first, and greatest, mental, and spiritual. In such a manner did the children of Israel also severally and at various times insult, mock and even curse Moses, and Aaron, whilst in Egypt, and even after having successfully been led out of Egypt and slavery of many generations. They, also, praised the land of their captivity, they praised and longed for their slavery, they desired to return to their slavery and their slave-masters and cursed and railed against Moses and Aaron. The comments on this post, are not surprising, neither are they anything new under the sun.
Where was CAN when IBB made Nigeria a signatory to the Islamic Organization of Countries (OIC)? This issue is endemic and has been festering since then, as it should be, in a multi-religious, multi ethnic and pluralistic society like Nigeria. Suppose when the concerned people's representatives sell their birthrights for mere crumbs off of the master's table, the people are left feeling bereft...go figure. QED@atm
