CAN's Summit: Presidency Understands Their Pocket is Dry

September 3, 2019

It is foolhardy for anyone to deny the place of religion in politics and evolvement of a people. Any party that lacks the influence of a particular religious sect cannot combat with the one that has it in full. This is why PDP party will fail a thousand times against APC.

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, on Saturday the 31st of August, 2019, held a summit on Ruga. In a communiqué issued at the end of the summit, the organisation asked President Muhammadu Buhari to completely scrap the suspended Rural Grazing Area scheme, popularly known as Ruga. It also demanded that Miyetti Allah be banned. The president is yet to respond to that.

But then, how would the cabal running Nigerian government even respond to these requests? Destabilization! A destabilizing agent will simply be recruited. And he is already recruited, for the choice of Pastor Yemi Osibanjo as vice president was not geared toward garnering support from the West and Christian communities as many were led to believe. The APC cabal running Nigerian government today had their conquest script written beforehand, and wanting to strangulate any obstacle that may ensue on the way, dreamt up the idea of silencing the church. Drawing a roadmap, a pastor vice president was apt. With CAN’s demand on the presidency, APC caucus will simply unleash the vice president – a pastor – on them, and he will play the Trojan horse. A pastor himself, it will be so easy to engage the top officials in secret meetings where promises will be made and tips given.

Paying off voices is the stock-in-trade of this current administration. Vain groups make millions issuing press statements. People form ineffective and visionless groups, issue a press statement or threaten an uprising, and then the government calls them for a payoff. Take for instance Ohaneze Youths and Innocent Idibia’s (Tuface) group that once threatened a protest march. Idibia was settled and the protest threat swept under carpet. CAN is very prominent in this line of scam.

Obvious therefore is CAN’s ulterior motive. They need money. And seeing an issue on ground that whips up the people’s sentiment, they decided to take advantage. It’s a matter of raising a voice, the government will come, and palms will be greased. Smooth and efficient business.

It is laughable for CAN to demand the president bans Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association when the president himself is a member and grand patron of the group. The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association is the parent body of the murderous Fulani herdsmen. In other words, the president is funding the Fulani herdsmen – a group rated the fourth most deadly terrorist sect in the world. No wonder the Federal government under APC party budgeted N12bn for the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association.

A total conquest and Islamization reminiscent of Turkey scenario is imminent. The conquistadors are already here. Sad enough Nigerian Christian populace in their weakness continues to mask their cowardice in the cliché “it cannot happen in Nigeria.” Wake up folks, the cloud is gathering and the rain will drench all. The mere reciting of the religious terse, “not my portion,” won’t save anyone. It will be your portion if you refuse to act now.

500 Kaduna Christians kidnapped, N300m paid — CAN

 August 9, 2019 | The Biafra Times 

By Godwin Isenyo, Kaduna

The Christian Association of Nigeria in Kaduna State said on Thursday that over 500 of its members were kidnapped in the last two years, adding that the body had paid over N300m as ransom.

The State Chairman of CAN, Rev. Joseph Hayab, who spoke in Kaduna,   warned against the activities of bandits, armed robbers and other criminal elements in the state who had turned to kidnappings, saying in one village alone, the church paid N20m.

He lamented that the activities of the criminals had forced inhabitants of 10 villages to flee from their homes to other parts in the state.

“We have been computing the numbers of Christian population kidnapped in Kaduna State in the last two years, over 500 of them that we know — either in the villages or in town — have been kidnapped.

“The people have moved out of some settlements completely and we have closed down our churches because of the activities of the kidnappers”.

“We are still computing, but at the last count, the church has coughed out over N300m as ransom to kidnappers. In the case of the chief of Kajuru that was killed, it was N8m that the kidnappers took.

“There was a Reverend Father in Kachia, they took about N1.5m. They still killed him. In Dankande, Birnin-Gwari, they collected over N7m before they released those people to us.
