Christian Genocide: Tinubu has been generous to Christians, why the betrayal to Trump? — MURIC to CAN

Published

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has leveled a severe accusation of disloyalty against the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

MURIC claims CAN has betrayed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, despite what the Islamic rights group describes as the President’s “generous consideration for Christians” in federal appointments.

The allegation comes in the wake of United States President Donald Trump’s decision on Friday to place Nigeria back on the list of “Countries of Particular Concern” (CPC) over alleged genocide against Christians.

Professor Ishaq Akintola, the Founder and Executive Director of MURIC, strongly criticized what his organization believes was the role of certain Christian leaders in petitioning US authorities about religious killings in the country.

“Despite vehement denial of Christian genocide by the Nigerian government, US President Donald Trump yesterday redesignated Nigeria as a country of particular concern,” Akintola said.

MURIC argues that the CPC redesignation is unwarranted and is a “complete misrepresentation of the true picture on ground in Nigeria.”

The group accused unnamed Christian leaders of creating Nigeria’s negative image abroad by sending “frivolous petitions” to US officials. They further alleged that CAN amplified these false claims instead of refuting them.

MURIC’s stated: “It will be recalled that certain Christian leaders had written frivolous petitions to the US Congress claiming that Christians were the only ones being killed by terrorists in Nigeria. Instead of debunking this false and misleading narrative, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) simply amplified it.”

MURIC expressed profound disappointment over CAN’s stance, stating the national body was “expected to know better.”

The group argued that CAN’s alleged actions are particularly disappointing given the goodwill President Tinubu has shown to the Christian community through key appointments and other benefits.

“CAN’s action is a stab in the back in view of President Tinubu’s preference of Christians in appointments, favours and privileges over and above his Muslim brethren,” MURIC claimed.

They backed this with figures, stating: “The president himself confirmed that 62% of all appointments went to the Christians. The First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, was even more generous to them than Father Christmas. In spite of all that was done for Nigerian Christians by this administration, they still deemed it fit to take Nigeria to the enabler of Gaza genocide.”

Calling it a serious act of “disloyalty,” MURIC condemned those behind the petitions. “President Tinubu does not deserve this. It is the Mother of all Betrayals, and we denounce those behind the report in the strongest terms.”

The organization concluded that while the US may be pursuing its own foreign policy interests, the ultimate blame for the negative designation lies with Nigerians who supplied what they termed “misleading narratives” to American authorities.

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, says public officers steal funds every minute.

Olukoyede spoke in Abuja on Thursday at the 80th birthday celebration of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Kanu Agabi.

He stated that the anti-graft agency receives over 20,000 corruption petitions every year, describing the scale of the theft detailed in many cases as shocking.

“I receive over 20,000 petitions in a year in respect to public corruption, all terrible. What is going on? Like every minute, public officers take money, and if you go through some of our case files you will weep.

“The way people take national resources and Nigerians are victims of these fraudulent activities. And we must come together for once in our lifetime and say no to the activities of some of our leaders,” Olukoyede said.

The EFCC boss noted that some public officers assume office with less than ₦100,000 in their accounts, but within three years, the agency traces millions of dollars to them.

He added that some individuals acquire hundreds of houses while in office, warning that corruption is crippling the nation.

Olukoyede stressed that public officers must be held accountable for their time in office, emphasizing that transparency must remain the guiding standard in public service.

She added that the State Commissioner of Police, CP Tijani Fatai, has reiterated the position of the command that all its personnel are expected to maintain professionalism, civility, discipline and respect for members of the public at all times. She further reaffirmed that wearing the Police uniform comes with a responsibility to uphold the dignity and integrity of the Force, and that the Command will not condone any conduct capable of bringing the Force into disrepute or undermining public confidence in the Police.

By

The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking to compel the Nigeria Police Force to conduct a fresh investigation into the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

Justice James Omotosho dismissed the case filed by the Registered Trustees of Break the Silence Foundation in a judgment delivered on Thursday, ruling that the foundation lacked the legal capacity to institute the suit.

The judge also described the application as speculative and lacking sufficient merit, noting that the foundation failed to produce the original police investigation report to support its claim that the earlier investigation was inadequate.

Justice Omotosho further cautioned lawyers handling ongoing cases against discussing matters before the court during media interviews or on social media, describing such conduct as professional misconduct.
