The immediate past Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has come under attack by the President of the Christian Council of Nigeria, (CCN), Most Rev. David Onuoha.
In a strongly-worded statement, Onuoha, who is, also, the Anglican Archbishop of the Owerri Ecclesiastical Province/ Bishop, Okigwe South, Imo State, called him an enemy of mankind, and demanded that the pint-sized former Governor be banned from holding public office.
The Archbishop wondered why neither the Federal Government nor any Security Agency has gone after El-Rufai for the sacrilege he committed by making statements capable of destabilizing the country and confirming the long held view in many quarters that there was more behind the killings of thousands of innocent in Nigeria, especially, in Kaduna.
The revered Archbishop asked for the immediate arrest and interrogation of Mallam El-Rufai over the insecurity in the Country and the rivers of blood flowing in Nigeria.
El-Rufai had, a couple of days ago, while addressing a group in Kaduna, admitted that he had began the islamisation of Nigeria from Kaduna. He said no Christian will ever hold any leadership position in Kaduna State Government. He, also, revealed that the the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC at the Federal level was part of the plan to Islamize Nigeria. He, also, derided Christians.
Onuoha noted that considering El-Rufai’s terrifying but significant statement, he has questions to answer for the murder of innocent citizens. Onuoha expressed shock that the former Governor is still walking free since his startling statement.
Said an absolutely shocked Onuoha: “We are worried that ever since, the Security Operatives have allowed this self-confessed enemy of mankind to be roaming around free. A serious-minded Government would have taken him behind bars for crime against humanity.
“He obviously has questions to answer not only for the murder of innocent citizens, but, also, for masterminding the insecurity that has brought this Nation to its knees.”
He urged President Bola Tinubu to distance himself and his Government from El-Rufai’s Muslim Agenda by ensuring that the two top seats at the National Assembly are occupied by Christians.
Onuoha: “If he (El-Rufai) is not saying the mind of this administration on Muslim/Muslim ticket, then the President should deliberately ensure that the leadership of the National Assembly, both the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives goes to Christians.”
Following is the full text of the statement,personally, signed by the President, Christian Council of Nigeria, Most Rev O.C. David Onuoha, which he titled:
STOP EL-RUFAI AND HIS FELLOW HATERS OF MANKIND NOW!
“The vomit by the immediate past Governor of Kaduna State Malam El-Rufai on how he deliberately wasted the lives of thousands of fellow indigenes of Kaduna state has been trending in the media for some time now.
“We are worried that ever since, the Security Operatives have allowed this self-confessed enemy of mankind to be roaming around free. A serious minded Government would have taken him behind bars for crime against humanity.
“He obviously has questions to answer not only for the murder of innocent citizens, but also for masterminding the insecurity that has brought this nation to its knees.
“If he is not saying the mind of this administration on Muslim/Muslim ticket, then the President should deliberately ensure that the leadership of the National Assembly, both the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, goes to Christians.
“Secondly, El-Rufai should be banned from holding public office again since he is all out to use such office or position to promote fundamentalism, bigotry, insurgency, insecurity, and threat to peace and national cohesion.
“The present administration in Nigeria should not turn blind eyes and give deaf ears to danger such careless outbursts by El-Fufai and his co travelers on this inhuman voyage poss to the unity and stability of this nation. It is absolutely necessary to stop him now.”
