Buhari has not assumed the mantle of leadership and his state of Katsina has already concluded plans to start demolishing churches.

[b]THE President of Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor; ECWA President, Rev. Jeremiah Gado and President of Tarayyar Masihiyawan Nijeria (Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri Christians), General Ishaku Ahmed Dikko (retd), have criticised the planned demolition of over 99 years old ECWA Church Headquarters Mission in Mataazu in Mataazu Local Government Area of Katsina State by the Katsina State Urban and Regional Planning Board (KSURPB).

They vowed to resist the action, which they described as "pure persecution of Christians."

The Board had issued a three-day demolition notice to the church just as the state government was said to be preparing to construct a road that will pass through the church compound which also has a school and staff quarters.

A member of ECWA church told journalists recently in Abuja that the planned demolition was generating tension that could cause a religious crisis in the state.

But a memo conveying the ultimatum entitled: "Stop Notice" from the Katsina State Urban and Regional Planning Board, signed by one Hussain A. Lawal (Development Control Manager) for General Manager dated January 6, 2015, sent to ECWA Trustees accused the church of building without the necessary legal requirements of planning permission from KSURPB or in violation of such permission.

The memo obtained by journalists reads in part: "You are hereby advised to stop all the development work at Matazu ECWA Church. It is believed that you are proceeding with development of the site without the necessary legal requirements of planning permission from Katsina State Urban and Regional Planning Board or in violation of such permission.

"If you are developing the site without planning permission, or in contravention of conditions of such permission granted, you are committing an offence. In receipt of this notice, you should stop such development work with immediate effect and present a formal application for planning permission to the Development Control immediately.

"Failure to act within three days of this notice may result in further action by the Board. This notice will cease to have effect only after the issuance of planning permission by the Katsina State Urban and Regional Planning Board."

Reacting to the development, Oritsejafor, said: "I am very upset about this; it is very unacceptable because this is pure religious persecution."

Meanwhile, the indigenous Hausa/Fulani Christians in Matazu local council have written to Governor Ibrahim Shema appealing for a re-visitation of the proposal for a road to be constructed through ECWA Mission Compound by the council.

Spokesperson of the group, Dr. Yunusa M. Matazu said: "The proposed road will only succeed in dividing the compound into two as the compound is not a thoroughfare as such leading to nowhere.

When Government starts demolishing churchs, what then do you expect the northern youths to start doing

that was how they started with Sharia implementation till it was taken over by people (Boko Haram) who know how to implement the proper sharia. Now that seat of power seems to be beckoning to them, they have already started demolishing churches. Boko Haram has abondoned churches and this government wants to remind them of it. Igniting a fire that you cannot quench

The last time I checked, Ibrahim Shema was still in PDP!

What has this got to do with Buhari?

The current governor of Katsina State is a PDP Man.

Direct your grievance to Ibrahim Shema, the PDP Governor and tell GEJ to call his boy to order and leave Buhari out.

The Governor of Katsina is a PDP member who happens to support Jonathan.

This propaganda against Buhari must stop.

the katsina governor is an unrepentant supporter of gej. he's on record for advocating death for opposition supporters, which of course are APC supporters. he's championing gej's re-election bid like somebody possessed

how does his policy concern buhari?

Must the church be found operating as a lawless organization? Why can't they get the necessary approval before the construction of the church? And some idiots are already trying to link this to Buhari when the ruling Governor is actually in PDP?

The church should present their proof of approval from the relevant regulatory bodies , negotiate with the govt where there is none or go to court. Racing false alarm or trying to add drama to a purely legal matter is shameful and they should present their case without overheating the already charged atmosphere.

Buhari na governor of the state? Abi na APC dey govern the state? Smh

What kind of crappy propaganda is this Is GMB the governor of the state Is Katsina under APC...So how come they are linking the demolition to him

I thought CAN president is close to GEJ, why not talk to him and leave GMB out of this crappy and useless propaganda...Yeye dey smell

The other day Barcanista observed that PDP propaganda mercenaries are inadvertently campaigning for GMB , and a look at the pitiable attempt by this hopeless OP to rope in Buhari's name to this whole brouhaha gives due credence to Bacanista's observation...
Moreover, the governor of Katsina state, Ibrahim Shema is PDP inside out...The same man caught on clip asking his supporters to kill his opponents... Yeye dey smell
