Ondo Christians Ask President Buhari To Resign Over Insecurity


The Christian Association of Nigeria in Ondo State on Sunday demanded the immediate resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari over rising insecurity in Nigeria. 

The Christian group that converged at the Evangelical Church Winning All in Akure, the state capital, frowned at the consistent attacks, kidnapping and banditry in the country.

They alleged that Christians worshippers were now targets of attacks and abductions at the hands of Boko Haram insurgents.  See Also Christianity Church Must Rise Against Killings In Nigeria –CAN 0 Comments 6 Hours Ago

Led by Reverend John Oladapo, CAN Chairman in the state, the group demanded an end to incessant attacks on innocent people in the country. 

Jude Arogundade, Catholic Bishop of Ondo Diocese, explained that since the government had failed in its responsibility of protection, Christians would have to rise and defend themselves. 

Arogundade said Christian leaders in the country had agreed to speak out against any unwarranted attacks on Christian worshippers in the country. 

He condemned the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari's government to bring those behind the darstardly attacks and killings in the country to justice. 

He said, "This is the time for us to speak out clearly. If the government can no longer defend Christians in this country, we would defend ourselves.  See Also Politics #BuhariResign: Nigerians Call For President Buhari's Resignation, Sacking Of Security Chiefs 0 Comments 3 Days Ago

"It is our right and its our duty especially when we can see clearly that the system is no longer defending law-abiding and hardworking Nigerians anymore. 

"Every country in the world would defend the defenseless, the hard working, honest and ordinary people but our government continue to look the other way. 

"They would prefer to arrest those protesting against the system rather than those who are destroying the system. 

"We know this too well. We pray for our government so that they can uphold the truth and justice. 

"We pray that they would fish out all these terrorists in this country. This government cannot claim not to know those behind this.  

"If they can not handle the security of this country, let them resign, that is what people of dignity do mostly.  See Also Breaking News BREAKING: Fourth Abducted Kaduna Seminarians, Nnadi Michael, Found Dead 0 Comments 23 Hours Ago

"If all of us suffer, then we all suffered together; if one of us get killed, we all feel the pain.

"We want to see some arrest and if the government cannot do it, then the people would have to defend themselves and we are getting to that now." 

Earlier in a protest, Dele Oyesola, pastor in charge of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Ondo Province 1, asked government to put an end to insecurity in the country and arrest those behind killing of Christians mostly in the North-East.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
