Middle Belt Youths Blast Former
Senator Waku Over Attack on
CAN President
Posted: July 20, 2012 - 23:11
The Middle Youth Forum today in
Abuja blasted Senator JK Waku
over his criticism of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN)
national president, Pastor Ayo
Oritsejafor, on his address to the
United States Congress.
“We wonder why the likes of
Waku, always make themselves
available as willing tools for use
by mischief makers and agents
of destruction who feels that this
country must only exist on their
terms,” the Forum said in a
statement sent to
SaharaReporters. “Our hearts
bleeds when people like Waku
who ought to be a shining
example to the younger
generation, turn their back
against their people in their most
trying moments.”
Asking where Waku has been
while Boko Haram bombed the
innocent, the Forum challenged
him to declare for whom he
speaks.
It said, “What Oritsejafor told the
US Congress was the true
position of things as it affects
Nigerian Christians. The forum
therefore, condemns Waku’s
recklessness utterances against
the leader of Nigerian Christians.
The patriotic youths of the Middle
Belt are proud of the CAN
President for rising up to the
occasion on matters that affects
his people. We call on the
authorities to keep vigilance on
the activities of elements in our
midst that are out to destabilise
this country.”
[Full Text of the Statement]:
“The Middle Belt Youth Forum
notes with grave concern and
disappointment the unfortunate,
but reckless and irresponsible
comments credited to one Sen.
Joseph Waku, vice chairman of
an organisation known as Arewa
Consultative Forum (ACF).Against
the leader of Nigerian Christians,
Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor over the
later's address before the United
States Congress’ Subcommittee
on Africa, Global Health and
Human Rights.We are baffled that
Waku, a Christian (if he truly is)
and indeed a Middle Belter could
make such unwarranted
comments on the leadership of
Christians in Nigeria, knowing
well the activities of the dreaded
Islamic terrorists known as Boko
Haram which has been bombing
and killing innocent Nigerians,
especially Christians in the
northern part of the
country.Waku's outburst
presents him as a desperate
agent paid by his masters to
execute an agenda.
“We wonder why the likes of
Waku, always make themselves
available as willing tools for use
by mischief makers and agents
of destruction who feels that this
country must only exist on their
terms. Our hearts bleeds when
people like Waku who ought to
be a shining example to the
younger generation, turn their
back against their people in their
most trying moments.As far as
we are concerned, Waku can
never be as more patriotic than
Pastor Ayo. This revered man of
God is a man of truth and
courage who love Nigeria more
than the likes of Waku. A good
leader is one who can boldly and
courageously stand up to speak
for his people when the occasion
demands. We are proud of Ayo
for boldly coming out to speak
on the challenges Christians in
the country are facing in the
hands of terrorists.
“Where was Waku all these while
when Boko Haram kept Bombing
and killing innocent citizens?
Does it mean he never saw
anything wrong with their
activities or their determination
to plunge the country into
religious war? Where was Waku
when Alh. Tanko Yakasai, Prof.
Ango Abdullahi, Sen. Kanti Bello
and other core Northerners
insulted the person and office of
the Senate President, Sen. David
Mark, to the extent that Alh.
Yakasai refered to Sen Mark as a
fool? Where was he? Let Waku be
sincere with himself. Between
Pastor Oritsejafor and Boko
Haram whose activities have
capacity to cause disintegration
of the country? The CAN
president was speaking for
Nigerian Christians. Who is Waku
speaking for? Is he speaking for
Boko Haram or who? Let him tell
us who he is speaking for.
“What Oritsejafor told the US
Congress was the true position
of things as it affects Nigerian
Christians.The forum therefore,
condemns Waku’s recklessness
utterances against the leader of
Nigerian Christians. The patriotic
youths of the Middle Belt are
proud of the CAN President for
rising up to the occasion on
matters that affects his people.
We call on the authorities to keep
vigilance on the activities of
elements in our midst that are
out to destabilize this country.”

Now i can see that youth from Middle Belt are up to reclaim their future and destiny from their oppressors.This is a good development that worth clapping,meanwhile they should start by showing some aggressive to the likes of waku and co that have sold there souls to their northern elites masters.Foolish politicians like waku and co always trade the future of their community for peanut.

Wake answer the question: who are you truly speaking for? Just like Jeremiah Hussaini, you are are a sellout.

Blast! As in bomb blast?

Waku has always been a sell-out so why am i surprised? I'm sure if he loses a family member to Boko Haram he will still defend their activity.

To Your Tents, O! Israel.
