A Christian group, Northern Christian Leaders Eagle Eyes Forum, which endorsed the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), said the members now live under threat.

Specifically, the group on Friday raised the alarm that its leaders’ lives were under serious threat following its endorsement of Buhari.

Addressing journalists in Kaduna, Chairman of the Forum, Pastor Aminchi Habu, simply described the tenure of President Goodluck Jonathan as a disappointment.

Habu said in 2011, the Christian community overwhelmingly voted for Jonathan but regretted that the President had failed the entire nation, adding that Jonathan’s “poor performance” informed the body’s decision to support Buhari.

He said the Forum could not be intimidated in any way to vote for Jonathan on the basis of religion or ethnicity.

The Christian body argued that they believed that Buhari could rid the country of insecurity and underdevelopment.

Habu said, “Our decision to endorse Buhari was informed by our patriotic commitment to build a free, fair and a secular society, where the inheritance should be justice to all.

“After the endorsement, our members, especially the Chairman of this Forum, have continued to receive threats through phone calls and text messages, labelling them a sell-out, who have abandoned a Christian candidate in the person of President Goodluck Jonathan.

“We supported the present government in 2003, 2007 and 2011. However, after critical analysis, the Forum decided to endorse General Muhammadu Buhari, based on the abysmal performance, the security challenges, outrageous corruption in public places, coupled with economic downturn in the country today.

“Our enemies accused us of collecting N500m from General Buhari. This accusation is not only wrong, but a blatant lie from the pit of hell. We charged anybody with concrete evidence of any money, collected by anybody on behalf of the Forum, to come forward with such evidence.

“The endorsement of Buhari was done publicly, and not secretly like our accusers will do; yet a segment of corrupt minds is employed to water down the good intention of the Forum, which is to build bridges and promote peaceful co-existence within our complex diversity.

“We shall not betray our trust as religious leaders for any monetary consideration. We shall do everything humanly possible, within our calling, to protect the interest of our image.

“We are therefore calling on Christians not to be deceived by these religious bigots and shun sentiment by voting the right candidate in the forthcoming general elections.”

Oluwa wa.

Wait a minute....is this the kind of threat a certain Nairalander was threatened with?That made him demand for"protection"?

Organised religion. too much trouble for a country with alot of ethinic group. WE WERE SERIOUSLY BRAINWASHED BY DIZ ONYINBO. *spits*

Who wan kill dem ? Apc sponsored CAN, useless people

APC don buy another set of people..

If pdp is threatening u in d north, i wonder wat will happen to d christains dat will endorse Apc in d east.

STUPIDITY is when you go to London to campaign
for people without PVCs. MUMU is when you go to
London and fail to come back with your acclaimed
Cambridge certificate. MUGU is when you did not
go to school and you forge a certificate and come
online to say sai Buhari. FOOLISHNESS is when
you have been shouting up Nepa since you were
born but expects GEJ to become a magician within
4 years. AKPOS is when you read day and night to
get a certificate and still want a semi-illiterate to
rule you. 419 is when buhari said he borrow 27
million for presidential form but Buhari’s wife
donates drugs worth N135m to displaced persons
in Yola”

Desperate Mofos..

Honestly, this democracy is not working for us again. PDP don dabaru everything

hmmmm

PDP and GEJ are too desperate to hang on to power and they don't care if people are killed and maimed to achieve their ambition.

PDP is a party of killers.

I can't wait to see Jonathan back to Beyelsa, using the chairman of Awgu L.G.A as an example, they think they owned Nigeria. If Jonathan has done well he don't need to give anyone money to vote him again. Bye bye Jona

talking about dirty party Pdp is the de facto dirtiest party. They are dirtier than Pig.

FrontPage things.

GEJ needs to understand that there is life after Aso Rock. Like OBJ, he too can retire to his 500 acre Abuja farm and enjoy his loot.
Jonathan has to be the most divisive figure in the history of the history of Nigeria.

Jonathan, Diaris God o.

But every Nigerian above 18years should be able to freely choose whosoever he/she wants to vote for.

They should stop being desperate...

Jona Jona jona. Why why why? You don fail , take heart and leave na.
