A call has been made for the creation of Southern Kaduna state

- The call comes on the heels of recent killings in the area

- Apostle Emmanuel Nuhu Kure says President Buhari needs to create the state, to avoid disaster

The National Secretary-General of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Apostle Emmanuel Nuhu Kure has called on the Federal Government to create a new state for the southern Kaduna people.

The call Kure says is in a bid to avoid further violent upheavals between militant Fulani herdsmen and natives in southern Kaduna.

In response to the intractable crisis which has claimed over 808 lives, the Kafanchan-based founder/General Overseer of Throneroom (Trust) Ministry told newsmen in a telephone interview that: “nothing short of giving us a state, since we carry the same identity; that is we are Christians in the Southern Kaduna.

“I agree that it will not solve all the problems: the tribal languages and tribal problems would come up but giving us a state since we are carrying the same identity and we are more tolerant—we are tolerant towards the Muslims—it will help us manage our situations better.

“As long as there are silent religious interests from the other side of southern Kaduna, even if they solve the problem, there will always be imbalance, it will be to our disadvantage, rather than our advantage. I think the long run solution to the southern Kaduna is eventually to give us a state and when they do that we will begin from there,” Apostle Kure stated

He, however, commended the Federal Government for recently sending troops to bring in order. “I also commend the International Community for taking interest because if the international community has not taken interest, the federal government would not act.

“If you ask me, it is because the international community took notice that is why the Federal Government is acting now and pressurising the state government to act positively.

“I pray the International Community will act in the same manner in other areas of conflicts in other parts of Africa where much conflicts are still going on,” he stated.

Reacting to the brouhaha over the Financial Reporting Code that led to the recent changes in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), he described the said code as “very unscriptural.”

Apostle Kure said the recent sack of CEO of FRC was an indication that “there are not enough checks and balances in the system. If the government has set up people that oversee what that particular department was doing and ensures that they were doing it rightly, I did not think we will have this problem.

“It is a warning to Nigerian government that some fellows representing government might just wake up some day and set the whole nation on fire. We need to be careful about that; especially at this sensitive moment when the whole world is going through all sorts of security challenges. We need to be very careful,” he warned.

Continuing, he averred that people are taking laws into their own hands because “Nigerian Christians are mild, otherwise we are not bound to obey such a law,” stressing that the work that “we do as priests is not physical and it is not human beings that ordain us to do it. The God of our covenant will always defend His covenant.”

Apostle Kure further argued: “When God gives a vision, it is for life. How do you make a visioner to hand over his vision to another man who did not receive nor understand the vision directly from God. If God has commissioned you to carry a vision, it’s only God Who can remove you when the time has come.

“The truth is that the law would be interfering with the will of God and some more serious Christians, will refuse to obey the law and that is the problem we will face in Nigeria if we continue with the law. We will have some Christians who will defile

Anioma third on the list to join south east biko

we northerners will never make a mistake of creating christian state, plateau state is enough fa.

Okayyyyy. No wonder, all these political fulani stories is to create new state.



Kontinio



If you need new state prepare yourself to become president in 2023.



Thousands were killed in Plateau state nobody talk on creating new state for hausa fulani.

Forget it. Buhari ain't creating shiiit. I find it difficult to believe buhari wasn't aware of the attack before hand. His complacency is like that of someone that secretly celebrated the attack and killings.

Yah. We all know you northerners are about nothing other than blindness to religion; the same religion that tells you to shed blood incessantly. You northern Muslims must be serving a blood sucking god.

The same language of bigotry currently inflaming the country.


SMH!

You're "fool" of pig shiiit and probably high on septic fume which you and your people cherish so much....bomb to rule!....nah your right nah¡

Another state in the north so where is all the argument about extra state for se so cos of skaduna they will create state. Then why not create a biafran republic due to killing of igbo in the north from time immemorial

Buhari said he has no comments concerning south Kaduna killings. That de governor of Kaduna is in control of the matter. But now a mosque in unimaid was bombed this morning and some Muslims killed. Your useless trabalistic president sent his condolences. Just so biased and tribalistic.

i got you but we do not need an extra greek gift from the nigerian state our republic will take care of state creation. We igbo's do not need anything from nigeria again. Not even the presidency

will the capital be southern kaduna too

but then if they give them southern kaduna then there must be Biafra



so this is a nono

Until these so called southern Kaduna christians begin to confess their atrocities towards fellow Igbo christians, the Almighty God may just be trying to punish them enough for them to wake up from their wickedness.

This kaduna problem is too much. I think the gov. Should give them a state it will definitely help the situation.
Just my opinion.

If its state, they should 4get it..we already have enough states up north. Cunning people.

Good idea, as well, fulani state is also needed in the south.
Equation balanced.

J

They are not getting any state and if they do, other regions will clamour for theirs.
