Has anyone observed that the Northern and some Yoruba Muslims will support everything Buhari either good or bad while Southern and Yoruba Christians will oppose and criticize him too.

The truth is that, the country is divided into two already, we now look at issues from religious and Tribal eyes.
Point of correction, I'm a Muslim and Yoruba and I support Buhari and APC because of being a progressive party unlike PDP that ruined everything over the years. Sure some people might based their support on tribalism and religious bigotry but not me and I'm sure there are millions others like that who does same. If tomorrow another good man comes who is a Christian and he's a good man, I will gladly support him without thinking

Eyah.
When Danjuma was butchering innocent Igbos during the civil war he wasnt thinking they too were christians.

Now that a clearly corrupt "christian" judge who by right should be above reproach has been exposed, he remembers who and who isnt a christian.

People like danjuma are the problem of this country. Foolish and useless elites who only take the side of their interests. Now it is to fan religious sentiments since ethinicity cant be brought to play here.


Forget that Danjuma.

All this noise from him is simply nothing.

The gaffer is just fighting for his oil blocs which he doesn't want Sai Baba to take away from him.

It's all for personal interest.

Nothing more; nothing less...

Sango priests are more pure and worthy in the eyes of God than all religious leaders in Nigeria


Their followers are even more worthy than them

Danjuma, other Christian elders reject Onnoghen’s suspension, ACF backs Buhari

The National Christian Elders Forum on Wednesday protested against the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, by President Muhammadu Buhari, describing it as an Islamic agenda.

The organisation called on Nigerians to mobilise themselves to resist the Islamists in the country.


The NCEF said the President’s decision to suspend Onnoghen was a “judicial coup.”

What was surprising, it said, remained the apparent unwillingness of Christians and other Nigerians to understand the core problem of the country.

Members of the group include Lt.Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (retd.), Solomon Asemota (SAN), Prof. Joseph Otubu, Gen. Joshua Dogonyaro (retd.), Dr Kate Okpareke, Dr Ayo Abifarin, Gen. Zamani Lekwot (retd.), Elder Moses Ihonde, Elder Nat Okoro and Elder Matthew Owojaiye.


Others are Justice Kalajine Anigbogu (retd.), Elder Shyngle Wigwe, a former Deputy Inspector-General of Police, L. Dabup, Sir John W. Bagu, Dr Saleh Hussaini, Elder Mike Orobator, Justice James Ogebe, JSC (retd.), Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Chief Debo Omotosho, Dame Priscilla Kuye, Dr S. D. Gani, Mrs Osaretin Demuren and Prof. Yussuf Turaki.

The NCEF’s statement, which was signed by its chairman, Asemota, was titled, “CJN Onnoghen: What is really at stake and the way out.”

The group said, “In 2015, Nigerians unwittingly elected an Islamist government into office, supposedly on a platform of democracy. It is with this as background that the questionable suspension of the CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen, should be situated. The ‘judicial coup’ is not only against the judiciary, but also the constitution that is under attack and with it, the sovereignty of the Nigerian state as a democratic nation.”


The Christian elders also restated their commitment to prayerfully support Christian presidential candidates and indeed any candidates who would be committed and loyal to the tenets of liberal democracy, human rights and equality under the law.

Asemota said the Islamists that belonged to the Salafist sect believed that modern society should run according to the 6th century pattern of Islam.

“Islamism is not a religion but a political ideology which holds that wherever Islam is, Islam must dominate,” he said.

He added, “That is one reason why Islamism is called “political Islam. However, while all Islamists are Muslims, all Muslims are not Islamists. The National Christian Elders Forum is calling on Nigerians to mobilise to resist the Islamists in Nigeria and ensure that they do not return to power again so that Nigerians can concentrate on building a just and equitable society.”


According to them, infrastructure that is sustaining Islamism in Nigeria must be dismantled and democracy must be promoted.

This is a list of old politicians struggling for relevance in a country that is fast moving on without them.

I do not see any "Christians" on the list.

These people refused to follow the path of truth and they called themselves leaders . We really need PMB to stamp out corruption in the land,those who don't agree with him are corruptible elements ..They should keep silence because the masses are happy & we are tired capitalists handouts
