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.
