Trump:Patriotic Elders’ Forum Wants Treasonable Charges Slammed Against Conspirators
By Abdullahi Yusuf
The National Patriotic Elders for Peace and Harmony of Nigeria, has urged President Tinubu to slam charges of Treasonable Felony against the unpatriotic Nigerians who reported alleged massacre of Christians in Nigeria to the US.
The President of the Forum, Dr. Bature AbdulAziz, said in a statement that those who reported the alleged genocide to the US were unpatriotic and should be charged for Treasonable Felony and prosecuted
“Nigeria is a sovereign country with enough laws to take care of every concern of its citizens, therefore, reporting it to other countries is highly conspiratorial and should not go unpunished,”AbdulAziz said.
He also urged Northern Governors to immediately convene a regional meeting, involving all religious and ethnic groups to discuss issues surrounding the lingering security challenges in the region.
He said the silence of the Northern Governors in the face of the growing American President Donald Trump’s threats of war is worrisome.
“They should speak up and document all the killings by the terrorists and present a detailed report of the killings approprietly,”he said.
He said the American Government is fully aware that the motive of the killings in Nigeria are not driven by ethnicity, religious or regional categories.
According to him,any military action by the United States against Nigeria cannot be justified because the reason being advanced by the Super Power-massacre of Christians, is unverifiable.
NPEPHN which spoke through its National President,Dr. Bature AbdulAziz, said the claim by the American Government that Christians are being killed in Nigeria is false, as terror attacks in the country are also suffered by Muslims.
“And when you look at the geographical locations of the country, the Northwestern states of Kaduna, Zamfara, Kebbi, Sokoto, Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa are predominantly Muslim areas and they are the most affected by the mayhem being perpetrated by the terrorists.
“The Northeastern states of Gombe, Bauchi, Borno, and Yobe are also predominantly Muslim areas which also suffer from the killings and destruction of property by the criminals,” Abdul Aziz said.
The President also explained that the North Central states of Taraba, Plateau, Adamawa and Benue, among others,have large Christian populations, but that the killings in such areas border on farmer/harder clashes with both warring parties suffering loses.
“It is,therefore, surprising that the US Government would believe this false narrative without verifying from the right intelligent sources.
“We believe that America has a hidden agenda behind the false Christian Massacre narrative, may be because the Government of President Tinubu has aligned itself with the Palestine/Israel two- State solution at the United Nations General Assembly or because President Tinubu is tilting towards France and other countries,” he said.
Dr.AbdulAziz reminded President Donald Trump that Nigeria had been playing central roles in peace keeping not only in Africa but across the globe, as well as promoting and preserving Democracy in most African countries.
“Any attack on Nigeria by the US government would, therefore,result in the destruction of several African Nations because most of them rely heavily on Nigeria for so many things,” he said.
