The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar, was criticised bygone for advancement the Federal Government to admission absolution to atoning Boko Haram camp members.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) vowed to argue the request.
CAN bidding shock over the Sultan's account on abuse to the sect. It said the chat injustice should accept been acclimated for those Christians dead by the Boko Haram sect, adding: We, therefore, say actually that we adios any action of absolution for associates of the Boko Haram sect. We ask government to do same. One accumulation of humans cannot abide to pay the amount for one Nigeria . We accept to sit calm as brothers and altercate issues.
President Goodluck Jonathan, CAN said, should adios the alarm for absolution and assert that the Boko Haram camp associates be apparent afterwards which they should lay down their accoutrements for peace.
CAN National Secretary General Rev. Musa Asake, in a account in Abuja, said: The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, is afraid and puzzled by the account accustomed to the Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar 111, that the Islamist active group, Boko Haram, should be accepted total amnesty for the account of accord in Nigeria and that the basal band of the botheration adverse us has been abuse meted out to humans who are not declared to.
If it is injustice, is it not government that should be captivated accountable? Why would the camp not authority their assembly at the assorted tiers of government responsible? The Sultan should be told that we accept back begin out that the attacks are primarily targeted at Christians and their churches. Who again is adversity injustice? Who needs justice? Christians or those killing and bombing churches?
The abuse to Christians killed, bedridden and rendered abandoned by the camp is underscored by the transaction of the sum of N100 actor to the backward camp leader's ancestors by the Borno State government after any abetment to any of the Christian victims of Boko Haram. Who is traveling to atone the families of the victims of the sect? Where is the amends to these Christian victims?
It is account reminding the Sultan at this choice that a few canicule ago, Shekau, the baton of Boko Haram, appeared in a video, claiming albatross for all the violence, including the ones allegedly committed by doubtable abyss and abstinent any accord with Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Abdulazeez, the man who has again claimed to be his additional in-command who appear a armistice bid? Shekau had said: we accept apparent how our associates who were out on angelic mission are getting attacked and killed what we are accomplishing now is what is assigned for us by Allah and his angelic prophets. We are workers in the acreage of Allah.
Clearly, Shekau, the Boko Haram leader, has never talked of injustice. He has been unremorsefully assertive on the actuality that they will not acquiesce until Nigeria is fabricated an Islamic nation. We charge to aswell admonish the Sultan and others on the aforementioned page with him that agitation is not about justice. It is about ideology. In this case, Boko Haram is founded on the apriorism of acute Islamic ideology. It is, therefore, arch for those who accept this to baffle the President into accomplishments that would be abortive in the end.
We accept that for the allocution about absolution to authority water, the Islamist active accumulation accept to aboriginal of all abdicate their acute credo and embrace the armistice plan. What President Goodluck Jonathan should do is to accord the camp associates a borderline aural which they should organise a ceasefire, declining which the camp associates should be confronted vigorously, in band with what was done to the Niger Delta Militants who banned the absolution offered by the backward President Umar Musa Yar'Adua. Otherwise, how can government admission absolution to faceless people?
