Christians in the North, under the aegis of Northern Christian Elders Forum have warned politicians in the region against an imminent civil revolution.
NOSCEF in a statement signed by the its chairman, Evangelist Matthew Owojaiye and secretary, Engr. Iliya Yusuf, said the region is in a big mess with the danger of an imminent revolution, warning the northern political and religious leaders that it is not too late to prevent a bloody revolution.
The statement entitled: ‘Northern Moslem Elders Are Afraid: Revolution Is Coming,’ the Christian Forum warned their Muslim counterparts in the region to stop blaming President Goodluck Jonathan for the woes of the region, insisting that since the northern Nigeria has produced nine heads of state, “how come the people are poor when their own people have been in power most of the time?”
According to NOSCEF, the nation was startled recently with the news that over 80 per cent of oil blocs are in the hands of 11 northerners, while only one is a Christian. “The only Christian among them is distributing his money all over the country including a recent donation to Ahmadu Bello University where he dropped a huge N2.3 billion”.
On what to do to avoid impending holocaust in the nature of the Arab Springs, the Forum suggested total and general repentance on the part of northern leaders while coming together to arrest the growing mass poverty in the region.
“This they can do by tasking the 10 oil bloc owners the sum of N10 billion each as well as political office holders who had over the years milked the northern youths dry to provide employment for the youths of the region rather go cap in hand to the Federal Government for an imaginary amnesty programme,”NOSCEF stated.
