In a reaction entitled, ‘ MURIC to Christian Elders on Onnoghen, Gowon: Your position is pedestrian,’ and signed by NCEF Chairman, Elder Solomon Asemota, SAN, on behalf of several other eminent members, the Forum, while agreeing with MURIC “that what Nigerians need now is peaceful environment” said, “this cannot be achieved when one section of the populace is marginalized.
“We want to make it clear that General Yakubu Gowon is not a member of NCEF. Having got the membership of NCEF wrong, MURIC also got its facts wrong. “We want to re-state once again that the attack on Onnoghen, a Christian, is the determination of the Muslim executive to have a dominant position, unchallenged by either the legislature or judiciary. Throughout military rule, the legislature was non-existent and at the return to democracy in 1999, a legislative arm at federal and state levels was programmed to be dominated by the executive.
“NCEF is suggesting that the contradictory ideology of democracy and Sharia at play in Nigeria is responsible for her instability. Nigeria has to choose one of the two and not both. It is hoped that the ‘super’ executive that wants to swallow the legislature and the judiciary will find time to read papers prepared by NCEF. They may learn a thing or two and not see jihad as the final solution rather than as separation of powers.
vanguardngr By responding to the bunkum spewed by so called Christian Elders, MURIC has taken the bait placed by Solomon Asemota If PMB had 'conquered' NASS & Judiciary as Asemota claimed, why would his 'Jihad' be stealth? Dont be deceived, Asemota is a liar, he knows nothing about Takiyya
vanguardngr Solomon Asemota of the NCEF is doing everything to retain supply of hard cash from his sponsor, Gen TY Danjuma. That's why he periodically issues press statements that stoke fear of some Buhari 'Jihad' Who cares if Asemota doesn't have confidence in the Xtians inside this govt?
vanguardngr Why does Asemota think Buhari will restrict himself to stealth Jihad after 'conquering' NASS & Judiciary? Is it an NCEF that has no one's mandate that can stop Buhari's conjured Jihad? Even CAN has pronounced Asemota's NCEF as a dissolved & unrecognised body!
vanguardngr Everyone knows Solomon Asemota is a bigot CAN has since dissolved the NCEF he purports to lead but Asemota badly wants a platform he can use to attract patronage, spew malice & 'combat' this govt As he must have known by now, this govt is immunes of his bigotry & hypocrisy
vanguardngr Christian!CAN! Muslim!sharia !can oil and water mix?
