CJN Walter Onnoghen’s Conviction Is A Jihad Against Christians – NCEF

The National Christian Elders Forum has described the conviction of
the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, by the Code of
Conduct Tribunal as part of “the jihad” against Christians in the
country.  

The NCEF claimed the development was a continuation of the “jihad
that began with the overthrow of General  Yakubu Gowon in
1975”. Chairman of the forum, Chief Solomon Asemota (SAN), said this in a
statement on Friday in response to an article titled, ‘What kind of
elders’ published by a national newspaper.  

He attributed the country’s under-development to the conflict between
democracy and Sharia,  adding  that the amalgamation of the Northern
and Southern regions had contributed to the problems of Nigeria. Asemota
said while proceeds from oil and gas in the South were shared by all
Nigerians, “gold and other precious minerals in  the North belong to the
North alone to complete annexation of the South to the North”.  

He  added, “President Buhari in 1983 committed treason when he
overthrew the Shehu Shagari government. This is in addition to the fact
that he was one of the seven colonels who masterminded the overthrow of
General  Yakubu Gowon in 1975.  

“It was the same coup plotters that retired Chief Justice Elias, a
Muslim but was a committed democrat, in order to Islamise Nigeria by
replacing a Federal Republic with a Sultanate. Today, Justice Walter
Onnoghen’s removal through stealth jihad of the executive is the
continuation of the jihad that began with the overthrow of General Gowon
in 1975.”
