The Christian Association of Nigeria has said that President Muhammadu Buhari was more interested in re-election than in the protection of lives and the well-being of Nigerians.
It noted that the President did not care about the number of citizens that may end up as sacrificial lambs for his ambition.
Speaking to journalists at a news conference in Abuja on Friday, the General-Secretary of CAN, Rev. Musa Asake chronicled the killings and bloodshed across the states, noting that the Buhari Administration had returned the nation to the dark age.
“War seems to be looming in Nigeria while the aggressors are no other than misguided individuals who had been armed to provoke different communities into needless battles.
“Yet, President Buhari, who was popularly elected in 2015 has not seen the need and urgency to issue a presidential order on the need to halt the killings and with stern instruction to heads of security operatives to bring perpetrators to book,” he said.
Asake added, “The Dark Age that has come with the Administration of President Buhari in Nigeria is giving the Christians in this country a huge concern.
“All the same, Mr. President has his own interests, a key of which is to seek re-election to remain in power beyond 2019 and continue with the reign of terror in Nigeria. It does not matter how many Nigerians will end up as a sacrificial lamb on that single ambition.”
The CAN scribe lamented the murderous activities of Islamist insurgents whom he said were killing Christians daily across the country.
He expressed shock that supposedly educated Nigerians could engage in what he called legalised murder based on retrogressive worldview.
