JasonScoolari:
The current leadership of CAN is just completely stupid.

The same Christian Association of Nigeria leaders who gathered to congratulate the lifeless Buhari but couldn't gather to visit Leah Sharibu's family, or Southern Kaduna people killed by herdsmen, or the family of Eunice Elisha, beheaded for preaching? Now they want a christian as the SP for their selfish gains.

God will punish them one after the other.

Many who called or did not call Buhari lifeless have died and passed on one way or another and still counting but the man is still alive and kicking. Death, health and general wellbeing is not what any sane person should use to mock another because we are not in control of these things. Thanks.

Why can't we have all Muslims?

Would Muslims (especially MURIC) have kept silent if all the top positions were occupied by Christians?
You see, this is one of my biggest issues with APC as a party. They don't understand what equity and justice are. This could never have happened under a PDP government.
Don't force people to accept situations you can't accept if tables were turned. That's what it means to be fair and just.

If you read that article, considered the tone of their submission and this is all you can say, then I can boldly conclude that you're an Islamic bigot.

We all know that Nigerian Muslims can never allow a situation where all the arms of government (including both arms of the National Assembly) will be headed by Christians. Religion is a very sensitive issue in Nigeria and I hate it when people like you claim it doesn't matter because the injustice suits you.

It's better religion finally kills Nigeria cos as the country presently is, it is a dead nation. Let each region go and govern themselves as they deem fit.

Saraki (SP) - Muslim
Ekweremmadu (DSP) - Christian

Dogara (Speaker) - Christian
Lasun (Deputy Speaker) - Muslim

This is how it has been with PDP since 1999. There has never been a time that both SP and Speaker were both Christians or both Muslims, neither was there a time their deputies were of the same religion with them.
Go and make your enquiries.

Who were the President and CJN in 2007?

In 2011 when a Christian became the president, he (or rather the party) chose Mulikat Akande to be Speaker but the opposition led by Tinubu sold the slot to the NW. Even at that, both Mulikat and Tambuwal are Muslims.

There is nothing wrong with lobbying like APC and presidency are currently doing. At the end of the day, it is only the NASS members that will have the final say on the issue in their chambers.

My only concern is that even the christian Vice President we have has received more denigration than support from these pastors for occurrences that are well beyond his control. Will having christian Speaker change their tilted view about this government? I don't think so.

None of the misgivings put on record about the present government is unfounded. We are fully aware that the man in Also Rock has his cult following on account of his unrepentant stance on religion. His four years was unconstitutional, inequitable, unprofitable, unfair, unhealthy and downright dangerous.

2007 - 2011

President - Muslim (Yar'Adua) then Christian (Jonathan)
SP - Christian (David Mark)
Speaker - Christian (Patricia Etteh), then Muslim (Dimeji Bankole)

Mind you that CJN then was a Muslim (Idris Kutigi).
