Genocide: Slam treasonable felony charges on those who reported Nigeria to Trump – Group
The National Patriotic Elders for Peace and Harmony of Nigeria, has urged President Tinubu to slam Treasonable Felony charges against citizens who reported alleged massacre of Christians to America.
Speaking in a press release, President of the Elders, Dr Bature AbdulAziz, said what those who lack patriotism and respect for Nigeria did was nothing but treasonable felony, which they should be prosecuted for..
“Nigeria is a sovereign Country with sufficient laws and legal backings to take care of every concerns of it’s Citizens, therefore, reporting to other Countries is nothing but downgrading the sovereignty of the nation and anybody who does that should be punished.”
The Forum urged Northern Governors to immediately converge a regional meeting, involving all religious and ethnic groups to discuss issues surrounding critical insecurity challenges and the continued killings of innocent citizens.
He said the silence of the Northern Governor’s in the face of the growing American President Donald Trump’s threats of war is not golden, asking them to document all killings and present a detailed report of insurgent activities based on different demographics and attributes.
“The assumption that over 500,000 Christians were killed should be backed with facts, data and figures by the Northern Governors before the appropriate authorities and stakeholders, this could only be done when the governors are serious”
AbdulAziz claimed that the American government is fully aware, with backed data, that the motive of the killings in Nigeria are not driven by ethnicity, religious or regional categories.
“A Cross fact checking would clearly show that must of those killed from 1999 to date, 75 percent are Muslims across the country and places and towns affected by this grave insecurity are muslim populated areas. Often times, these communities and towns are burned, lynched and destroyed”.
Dr Bature AbdulAziz, said, “looking at the geographical locations of the country, the Northwest area of Kaduna, Zamfara, Kebbi, Sokoto, Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa are predominantly Muslims areas and they are the most affected communities were killings and displacement unraveled”.
He said, “the Northeast of Gombe, Bauchi, Borno, and Yobe are also predominantly Muslims areas and killings there clearly show large Muslims population suffered loses of lives and property more than anybody”.
The elders explained that, the North Central of Taraba, Plateau, Adamawa, Benue and Kwara have a higher christian percentage, however, the clashes are a result of Normadic and Farmers problems in most cases having each group suffering loses.
He claimed Muslims loose their lives the most due to tribalism and violence by the hosting communities. This hostility often times result in the killings of their families, cattle and displacement of the herders
“Therefore, it is surprising for the US government to believe a false narrative without allowing it beautiful Intelligent networking to give them the accurate position of things”.
“We are of the belief that America has another agenda behind the issues of false Christians Massacre, possibly due to the Government of Tinubu aligning itself with the Palestine/Israel two States solution at the United Nations general Assembly or because President Tinubu tilts to France and other Countries and they are not happy”.
Dr AbdulAziz, reminded the Government of Donald Trump that over time, Nigeria has played central roles in keeping peace not only in Africa but across the globes, thereby preserving Democracy in must African Countries.
“Any attack on Nigeria would means destroying several African Nations because most of them rely heavily on Nigeria and will also affect democracy, therefore, we are appealing to Trump to rethink his decisions”.
