Governor Nasir El-Rufai |
In a statement yesterday in Enugu, Chairman of the PFN in the State, Rev. Dr. Godwin Madu, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to call Governor Nasir El-Rufai to order as such move was capable of throwing the country into chaos.
According to Madu,
The situation in Kaduna State today calls for caution because this religious issue may bring problem in other states if not properly checked.
The licensing of preachers is not in the best interest of the nation and it is contrary to the constitution of the country.
Are we being forced to have two countries in Nigeria or two constitutions? Mr President should intervene in this matter. Let there be caution and proper understanding between government, leaders and religious leaders; let us stop anything that will not make for peace.ALSO READ: BREAKING: Gov.

On the planned establishment of grazing reserves across the 36 States of the Federation, the PFN said it was a veiled plan to Islamize the country.
He said,
We frown at the impending doom that may befall the nation if Mr. President fails to check the incessant attempts to Islamize the states.
We request the National Assembly not to consider such bill; let the sponsors of such bill desist from it.
The nature of attacks on the host communities of the Fulani herdsmen is so damaging; how can a grazing field be given to them whereas it is the cause of crisis in several cities across the country.The group while decrying the cases of rape, murder and arson linked to herdsmen, called on security agencies to rise in defence of helpless citizens..
..whose farms are being damaged, their wives and daughters raped and murdered.
How does the planned establishment of grazing reserves across the 36 States of the Federation constitute a veiled plan to islamise the country? What a shame of a country where any sincere effort to bring peace, progress and development to the country is given a religious corronation inorder to frustrate the government. This is unfortunate. The irony of it all is that no muslim or islamic organisation has ever accused any nigerian government of
ReplyDeletechristianising the country. Please avoid religious bigotry to give Nigeria a chance to develop.
Where in Nigeria, apart from Muslim dominated states in the North have you hear of a Governor Making religious laws that directly affects Muslims and their worship....why would any nation create such grazing reserves for a blood thirsty tribe...it has always being the agenda of the north to Islamise Nigeria.. from the terrorist groups to Governors moves ..it all indicate this....
DeleteIf grazing reserves are to be created in 36 states of the federation, such should be created for those who are into pig farming in all the 36 states of the federation as well. This attempt only goes to show the hidden agenda of the north to legitimize their reasons for killing people. After all, Aso rock villa is now a grazing reserve why not every part of the country?
DeleteTrue talk Chizy. I'm from Kaduna State and I can assure you that there's an agenda underneath the veiled grazing land!
DeleteHMMMMMM WHAT A COUNTRY
