CAN Condemns Buhari For Including Nigeria In Islamic Military Alliance 

Must read

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has protested the attempt by the current All Progressives Congress, APC, government led by President Muhammadu Buhari to subtly enlist Nigeria among Arab nations to fight terorrism.

Saudi Arabia has built a coalition of 34 Muslim/Arab countries to fight terrorism in  Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt and Afghanistan and Nigeria was named as a Muslim nation among the 34.

A statement on Wednesday, December 16, 2015 by the General Secretary of CAN, Rev. Musa Asake, said: “This singular gesture of the Buhari government betrays so much, and tends to confirm our fears that underneath everything this government is doing, there is an agenda with strong Islamic undertones, aimed at undermining Nigeria’s pluralistic character and neutrality regarding government’s affiliation to any one religion.

“While joining hands with other countries to fight ISIS is something good, our country must not be tagged as a Muslim or Arab nation. Christians must make a public statement showing their discontent on this development which portends great danger to national unity and integration.”
