Bashir Yusuf, former Political Adviser to former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has launched into a tirade on Twitter, attacking the person and integrity of the President of CAN, Rev. Ayo Oritsejafor.

Malam Yusuf, who was Atiku's agent during the last PDP primaries and a staunch member of the Northern Elders Political Leaders Forum used such strong language and terms to describe Rev. Oritsejafor, calling him a "bigot" and a man who had "childhood grudges against" his "own mum".

In his Tweets, Malam Bashir Yusuf carefully quoted one of Rev. Oritsejafor's interviews out of context to paint him as a bitter man who is out to set the nation against the path of peace.

Yusuf have mental problem.

Oritsejafor has said some really ret@rded things against muslims recently which have the potential to cause serious sectarian animosity. He definitely deserves all the abuse he's getting.

Yusuf definitely went a little too far, especially with the quotes about the pastor's mother and the one about drugs, but his heart is in the right place.

ARE YOU SAYING IF CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THIS BOMBING HERE AND THERE YOU AND YOUR SO CALL MUSLIMS WILL NOT SAY THINGS MORE THAN WHAT CAN PRESIDENT HAD SAID? HELL IF MUSLIMS WERE BOMBED BY CHRISTIANS JUST AS MUSLIMS HAD BEEN BOMBARDING US IN THIS COUNTRY TRUST ME MUSLIMS WILL NOT USE ONLY WORDS TO REACT BUT THEY WILL RETALIATE BAD WAYS AS WE ALL KNOW THEIR BEST WAYS OF RETALIATING IS BY KILLING PREGNANT WOMEN AND CHILDREN AS THEY BELIEVE WHEN U KILL 77VIRGINS AWAIT U IN HEAVEN. NOSES

I used to despise Oritsejafor, but no more, he's now one of my favorite public speakers. So you want people to be preaching peace while productive innocent people are killed by hopeless illiterates ?

Oritsejafor was really biting too far with his anti-Islam comments!

Instead of attacking Rev. Oritsejafor, this Yusuf would have directed his energy toward differentiating the belief and virtues of Muslim brothers from these terrible acts of 'BH' and working with other Nigerians toward achieving Peace.

Besides, what I heard Rev. Oritsejafor say was basically: Christians may be forced to defend themselves if State Security lapses persist and Christians keep being targets of the group (BH).
I don't perceive any call for Christians to begin attacking Muslims within that message.

Also, Mr. Yusuf, at least having been a 'political adviser' is expected to understand that 'BH' have been carrying out their activities while flying the Islamic banner. So the call by the CAN President on Muslim Leaders to do more than they presently are doing is understandable.

i might have missed the bigoted statements made by oritsejafor. ''that christians may be forced to defend themselves''? what is wrong in such a call?

Oh please Atiku my man!
Good one from your rep.
A man who cannot honor his own mother?
No wonder his momma abandoned him. He must have made her have a 'supernatural C-section' blocking both her toto and arzzze completely. A divine pain in the arzzzzze!
What do you expect?
All these ye ye Men Of God.
What business do they have with politics?
I did not even think he was still alive.
