PRESS STATEMENT
HOW LONG SHALL THE NIGERIAN CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP SIT AND WATCH AS NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS ARE DEHUMANIZED AND POLITICALLY ISLAMIZED
The International Coalition against Christian Genocide in Nigeria (ICAC-GEN) is a Christian freedom advocacy group under the laws of the United States of America founded on the following Principles:
To preserve and protect the secular status of the Federal Republic of Nigeria free from the heinous activities of fundamentalist Muslims, represented by armed bandits and Fulani herdsmen, Boko Haram insurgents and Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP), which has resulted to repeated genocide against Nigerian Christians, kidnapping and forcible occupation of their ancestral homelands.
The essence of the organization is to close the lacuna between the characteristic domineering apolitical spirituality of the Nigerian Church leadership and the unfocused and uncoordinated political consciousness of the Nigerian Christian populace which surreptitiously gave rise to their present state of vulnerability to Islamic-driven killings and perpetual political domination. Our goal therefore is to create a state of high-profile political consciousness among the Nigerian Christians that blurs ethnic differentiations and focuses with a strong Spartan Spirit on the Cross of Calvary as the uniting force.
It is in respect of this goal that we request the unflinching support in whatever way possible of every dedicated and spiritually-touched Christian in our mission to re-address the current precipitous state of Christianity and Christians in Nigeria in the face of a ferocious politically conscious Muslim leadership and faithful. We make this request bearing in mind that most Christian and other related leaders might be averse or indisposed to a more radical approach in addressing the tethering challenges against Christianity in Nigeria for several reasons.
The International Coalition against Christian Genocide in Nigeria unequivocally stands against the present state of a Muslim President and a Muslim Vice President in a country where Christians are demographically greater in number than Muslims. We must stand against this bare-faced electoral robbery beyond the jaundiced decision of the customarily corrupt judicial system; for if we fail to do so it will become a political tradition to which the teaming Nigerian Christian population would lack the moral drive to question in future. So our position remains that the current state of Nigerian political leadership in which a Muslim is the President and a Muslim is the Vice President remains an unacceptable political injustice in law and political tradition of the country.
The International Coalition against Christian Genocide in Nigeria fervently stands against the on-going stealth Islamization of Nigeria through the clandestine toleration by the Federal Government and other Muslim leaders of Northern Nigeria of the heinous activities of Muslim Fulani herdsmen, Muslim Bandits, Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) and Boko Haram which not only selectively target Christians but mince no words in their jihad objectives.
The International Coalition against Christian Genocide in Nigeria strongly stands against the on-going displacement and massacre of the indigenous Christian population of the Middle Belt and subsequent clandestine resettlement of Fulani refugees from Central African Republic on their land in collaboration with the Fulani leadership of Nigeria.
The International Coalition against Christian Genocide in Nigeria is disturbed over the grave-yard silence and inaction of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and other notable leaders of the Church in Nigeria on the on-going jihad-driven unconstitutional incarceration and prosecution of Mrs. Rhodah Jatau for openly condemning the heinous martyr of Miss Deborah Samuel, while the killers of Deborah Samuel walk free on the streets of Nigeria. How many justice systems do we have in Nigeria?
We saw with our naked eyes how unguided Muslim bandits marched as far south as Owo in Ondo State and gruesomely murdered over fifty Christian worshippers on a Sunday morning and subsequently walked away free unscathed; absurdly telling the Governor of Ondo State who hails from Owo that he has his Amotekun Security outfit but we possess the powers to massacre his people at will. There was no protest, no threat of retaliation or call for inquiry from the Nigerian Christian leadership. Nigerian Christians are indeed orphans in the presence of living parents.
For how long shall the Nigerian Christians continue to face this type of unguided humiliation which was only reserved for slaves and serfs of 19th Century Sokoto Caliphate? This is the fundamental question before the Nigerian Christian leadership—the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Heads of the various Christian Denominations.
