Arewa Christians and Indigenous
Pastors Association (ACIPA) has asked Nigerians to look beyond President
Muhammadu Buhari as he is not a viable president for Nigerians in 2019.
In
its New Year message signed by the Coordinator, Rev. Luka Shehu, the
group described years of Buhari-led administration and especially 2018
as the worst in the history of Nigeria.
The statement read:
“While looking forward to a more fulfilling, prosperous and secured
Nigeria in 2019 and beyond, it is pertinent to note the abysmal failure
of the Buhari administration in the areas he promised Nigerians since
2015.
“The gulf between Christians and other denominations have
widened with often little lip service or rhetoric, the spate of Fulani
militia across Nigeria, ethnic cleansing of Christians and mainly
indigenous people, the abduction of school girls at Dapchi in Yobe
State, the none-negotiation for the release of Leah Sharibu, the
Decmber, 2018 spate of serial attacks by well organized terrorists at
Metele, Baga and other towns where soldiers were decimated and had to
escape while weapons of assorted types and make where carted away by
terrorists who took over towns, not to mention the horrific menace of
recent killings in Kaduna, Plateau, Yobe and Zamfara states where
traditional rulers where abducted and killed in cold blood, were all
evidence that the Buhari administration has failed Nigerians.”
The association said that in decent societies, both the President and the
service chiefs would have resigned since they have proved incapable of
defending Nigerians, which is their primary duty.
