Dear Nigerians
Our attention has been drawn to the recent Press Conferences by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN, Ondo State, 2/6/16), and by the Coalition of Christian Groups in Nigeria (Fri. 3/6/16), and other Media Publications, concerning recent happenings in our country. Particularly we make reference to the recent lopsided Appointments and Retirements of Nigerians in public offices and Institutions made by the President, and we are saying that by these acts, the President is unwittingly creating an atmosphere of insecurity, distrust and disaffection in the polity. Everything seems to point to one thing: An On-going Northern Islamization of the nation Nigeria by the President, without regard to the Oath which he swore to uphold the secularity of the Nigerian nation and Freedom of Worship for all.
Mr President, Sir, you were voted in as a proper anti-dote to the endemic and institutionalized corruption that pervaded the nation, (and is still rampant), but it is obvious now that that is not your primary agenda. From East to West, and North to South, many Christians, non-Muslims, and many peace-loving Muslims are worried about the sectional way you are pursuing your national mandate: It seems apparent to all that you are executing the agenda of the Islam In Africa Organization, as appointed by the OIC.
(Ref: Abuja Declaration of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) AND Islam in Africa Organization (IAO) 1989, published by Emenike on Nairaland, August 2nd 2014, www.nairaland.com/1840446/abuja-declaration-oic-1989.)
Sir, remember that as President, you are the father of all Nigeria, not of an ethnic section, and not of a particular religious group. Your actions must be seen to be fair to all, but that is not how it is now.
The following matters are common knowledge, and were raised in the afore-mentioned Press Conferences (and other News Media), and they point to a Polarization of the Country by the policies of your Government (and your Advisers). WE NOW PRESENT THEM AS PRAYER POINTS FOR THE CHURCH AND FOR THE NATION, because they cause serious concerns to the majority of Nigerians who are non-Muslims.
1. THE APPARENT ISLAMIZATION AND NORTHERNISATION OF ALL 16 KEY SECURITY POSITIONS IN THE COUNTRY. The situation is worrisome, and as at July it was as follows, one-sided, all Northern Muslims, mostly Hausa/Fulani alone:
* Chief of Army Staff – Northern Muslim, Hausa/Fulani
* Police Inspector General – Northern Muslim, Hausa/Fulani
* Minister of Defense – Northern Muslim, Hausa/Fulani
* Minister of Internal Affairs – Northern Muslim, Hausa/Fulani
