A group of
Christians in the North, under the aegis of Arewa Christians and Indigenous
Pastors Association, has called on Nigerians to rescue the country from
President Muhammadu Buhari’s “bad leadership”
The group is also seeking international intervention to save Nigerians from
President Buhari’s grip.
Among the global bodies from which
the association sought help are the African Union, the European Union, the
Commonwealth of Nations, the United Nations and the United States of America.
The
President of ACIPA, Luke Shehu, told journalists during a press conference in
Jos that the demand became pertinent because Buhari was “nepotistic”, while the
“Nigerian ethnic nationalities and particularly the Northern Christians are
under siege.”
According to the organisation, it
had observed that the administration of Buhari had failed in its primary
responsibility of protecting lives and property, a cardinal constitutional
responsibility, which he had sworn to carry out.
Shehu said, “While we may not
conclude that insurgency in Nigeria is state-sponsored, there is clear and
obvious complicity by government officials in some quarters.
“This administration should stop
deceiving Nigerians that Boko Haram has been defeated.
“The
truth is that after three years, Boko Haram has yet to be defeated despite the
pre – election promise to do so in less than six months.”
