..Faults FG’s refusal to proscribe armed herdsmen as terrorists

By Luminous Jannamike

ABUJA – The Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, has faulted the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government’s adamancy in refusing to proscribe armed Fulani herdsmen as terrorists.

He also decried the manner in which the government handled the issue of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), lamenting that injustice was meted out on them
Vanguard recalls that the federal government had proscribed IPOB following its declaration as a terrorist group.

However, speaking at his Abuja residence during an interactive session with a faith-based group, Catholic Singles Forum (CSF), the Archbishop said: “The federal government was quick to declare Biafra agitators as terrorists. But Fulani herdsmen are killing people today and similar action has not been taken against them.

“If something is not done about the security situation in the country, people will keep losing faith in the government and others might soon pick up arms to defend themselves,” he warned.

The Catholic prelate also spoke on several other issues affecting Christians in the country such as the proliferation of churches and forgiveness.

On the issue of proliferation of churches in Nigeria, Onaiyekan said: “Christianity has been turned into cliques that cause disunity as the proliferation of church across the country is not for the love of God but basically for survival.”

On forgiveness, the Archbishop posited that God’s ways are not those of men; stressing that there is the possibility that even Judas Iscariot, one of the apostle of Jesus Christ who betrayed him, may have been forgiven and admitted into heaven.

“I won’t disagree that Judas may have found his way into heaven. Therefore showing how wonderful and merciful God is.
“You don’t lose anything when you forgive. The problem is people think they would be perceived as weak when they do so. Vengeance has never made the world a better place,” he said.

Buhari and his followers think that using the terrorist tag, they have successfully caged IPOB

What Buhari does not know is that ideologies cannot be stopped by using the military or proscription.

Another thing Buhari does not know is that the terrorist tag he rushed to put on IPOB exposed him as the fraud he is because he could not do the same to the Herdsmen who did far worse than IPOB

The Iwo emirate will not like this.

Buhari vegetables Python Dance on a separatist group, IPOB will be one of the Achilles heels that will characterize his govt as a vengeful regime devoid of competence forever.
Buhari will be remembered for mowing down unarmed separatist group, IPOB while empowering the real terrorist groups, boko haram and Fulani herdsmen through amnesty, supply of arms using helicopters and millions of euros.
A pathological bigotric and a tribalist buhari in 1984 is still the same man today.

“If something is not done about the security situation in the country, people will keep losing faith in the government and others might soon pick up arms to defend themselves,” he warned.

The states below have re-itirated same thing countlessly yet our president is adamant and even wants to declare amnesty to bokoharam.

Miyette Allah which has variously admitted to being behind the killings particularly in Benue State is one such Fulani organisation that can be proscribed.
As for what they want are you kidding me?
Isn't it obvious?

All who have a hand in this evil government will die a very painful death I tell ya.

With all due respect Mr Onaiyekan, there is big difference between IPOB (already inciting war and calling for Buhari's head) to a faceless group suspected to be herdsmen.
For all we know, they could be rogues working for a political group to discredit the other.

You don't just expect govt. to label Fulani herdsmen who don't spread hate messages via radio or threaten to burn down the "zoo" as terrorists. There is still something fishy going on.

The IPOB matter should just rest abeg. They are terrorists, SEALED & STAMPED

Dear Cardinal, don't bother yourself. The curse that have befallen nigeria and all that pay allegiance to it will never be remedied. It will continue to be the posterboy for hunger, strife, deaths and sufferings among the comity of nation.

It is the recompense it will continue to pay for years till it's eventual and unceremonious disintegration as Biafrans continue to shine proudly in eyes of the civilized world.
