The Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN) has commiserated with the Catholic
Secretariat of Nigeria (CSN) as it conducts mass burial for the two
priests and parishioners killed by alleged Fulani herdsmen in Benue
State recently.
CAN in a statement yesterday signed by Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, the
special assistant media and communications, to the CAN President, Rev
Samson Olasupo Ayokunle, described the present moment in Nigeria as a
trying time for the church, adding, “We also urge all Christians to
identify with the Catholic Church in its nationwide peaceful protest
against senseless killings in Nigeria.”
CAN asked the Nigerian security agencies to rise up to the security
challenges in the country. It contends that security operatives have no
excuse for the failure to stop the unending senseless killings in
Nigeria.
It expressed dismay that killings of the innocent is assuming global
embarrassment with mass burial being conducted at all times even when
the country is not at war.
The organisation called on President Muhammadu Buhari not to forget his
2015 campaign promises including fighting insecurity and keeping Nigeria
united which was why Nigerians overwhelmingly voted for him. It said
that Buhari’s government should not fold arms and watch misguided
Nigerians, mostly Boko Haram and herdsmen promote killing while solution
appears very elusive.
CAN said, “It is disheartening to note that criminal Fulani herdsmen,
bandits, kidnappers and other hoodlums have reduced Nigeria to a Banana
Republic.
“This development is unacceptable and we call on all well-meaning
people anywhere in the world to join hands in praying for the
deliverance, freedom and liberty from this self-inflicted bondage.”
While CAN is not opposed to the President’s exercise of his civic right
by seeking re-election to the office of president for second term, the
body urged him to halt his campaign for now and attend to the security
problems occasioned by the criminal activities of the terrorists,
herdsmen and bandits.
CAN asks President Buhari to suspend his re-election bid until he
restores sanity to the country while ensuring the release of Leah
Sharibu, the remaining Chibok girls and other abductees from the
captivity of the Boko Haram terrorists.
