There is no persecution of Christians in Nigeria - Sultan of Sokoto insists - Edoman - 03-13-2020 There is no persecution of Christians in Nigeria - Sultan of Sokoto insists The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar has denied claims made by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and other Christian religious leaders about the persecution of Christians in the country, especially in the northern region. Reacting to the recent prayer protests by CAN and Catholic Bishops against an alleged campaign by state and non-state actors to eliminate Christians in northern Nigeria at the first quarterly meeting of the Nigerian Inter-Religious Council (NIREC) meeting in Abuja on Thursday March 12, the Sultan of Sokoto maintained that there is no religious persecution in the country. He also urged religious leaders not to allow terrorists bring division across the country. Sa’ad Abubakar said; Quote:“It pains me when we gather at NIREC or other meetings and agree on measures that would promote religious peace, unity and tolerance; but shortly after, you will begin to hear stories of persecution here and there. The Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha also backed the Sokoto monarch's claim of non-existence of religious persecution in the country. Mustapha who reminded religious leaders of their massive influence and loyalty from Nigerians, urged them to guard their utterances and refrain from making statements that would incite the people against themselves. |
