Eid-el-Maulud: Alex Otti's Refusal to Greet Muslims, Demonstration of Intolerance, Divisive Tendencies - Group

A group in Abia State, Abia Renaissance Movement, ARM, has berated Governor Alex Otti for not being sensitive to the pluralistic state of Abia by ignoring the Muslim celebration of Eid-el-Maulud on Wednesday, 27th September, as he did not send any official message to the Muslim faithful in the state, an act which the group described as "insensitive and intolerant" and unprecedented in the state.

In a statement signed by its Convener, Comrade Ukachukwu Chinonso and the Secretary-General, Comrade Mrs Maria Nwokoma, and made available to the media in Umuahia on Thursday, the group said it was even worse that Alex Otti chose the day to demolish people's properties in Umuahia thereby inflicting pains on the people on a day they were supposed to be celebrating the Islamic holiday.

Part of the statement reads:

"Muslims all over the world marked the joyful commemoration of the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) on Wednesday, 27th September. Nigerian Muslims were not left out of the celebration as leaders across religious lines sent heartwarming messages of celebration to the faithful.

"We are however shocked that, apart from ignoring our Muslim brethren in Abia, the Governor, Mr Alex Otti, desecrated the day by choosing to demolish buildings along Ossah Rd on Eid-el-Maulud day thereby inflicting pains on Abia Muslims at at time they were supposed to join their counterparts all over the world in celebration.

"One way or the other, Muslims were directly or indirectly affected by the demolition.

"This act is not only wicked but also goes a long way to show that Alex Otti is not only insensitive but also intolerant of people of other religions.

"The question we want to ask is this, if it was Christmas, would Otti not have sent solidarity messages and season's greetings to Abia Christians? Would he have chosen such a day to demolish people's properties?

"We are sad that Otti does not realise that religious tolerance even of the minority is a panacea to restiveness and instability. His treatment of the Muslims in Abia is unprecedented and unacceptable. It is the first time in the history of the State that our Muslim brothers and sisters would be shabbily treated by a sitting Governor.

"In the past, leaders in the state have always shown brotherhood by sending messages to Christians and Muslims alike during their religious festivities, to deviate from that agelong practice now is a recipe for disaster. They should not mistake this act of Otti to be that of all Christians.

"We therefore urge our Muslim brethren not to take such official intolerance to heart but continue to pray for responsible and responsive government that will unite our people across sociopolitical and religious divides because that is the only way we can guarantee true prosperity of our people", the statement concluded.
