The churches in Nigerian now feel more threatened than ever. Having been living in heaven on earth, flying private jets and competing among themselves on the power to command the largest crowd of worshipers, things have really began to turn following the move of the APC led federal government who have intensified efforts to Islamise Nigeria.
In Abuja, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Saturday said the leaders of the Jama’atuNasril Islam, JNI, were attempting to justify the ungodly killings by herdsmen across the country because they were allegedly complicit in the crime.
The Christian association of Nigeria who have remained silent to the massacre of innocent Biafrans who see freedom from the oppressive government turns around now and claims to be the voice of the voiceless.
In a statement signed by Rev Asake in Abuja, the Christian body maintained that the statements and actions of the leaders of JNI and Mr. Shehu had been geared towards protecting the killer herdsmen and attempting to defend the indefensible.
He said: “Frankly speaking, Garba Shehu should be pitied with his current position because he is trying to sell a bad product and as a result he cannot do without being sycophantic. Unfortunately for him, in his bid to defend President Muhammadu Buhari, whose government’s record for nepotism, favoritism and discrimination is second to none, Shehu goofed.
“For obvious reasons, it seems to me that Garba Shehu is ignorant of the function of the Church to the society. As a Servant of God and a Minister of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, I have a divine mandate to be a voice to the voiceless, to condemn the evil in the land and to praise or criticize the government as the need arises.”
