The Northern wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari over his appointments, stressing that the President’s appointment has favoured the Hausa/ Fulani more than Christians.
Speaking in Kaduna, the secretary of CAN, Barrister Danladi Yarima stressed that Buhari had not been fair to Christians and had breached the law that created the Federal Character in his appointment.
Yarima said, “CAN is not satisfied with the appointments of President Buhari so far, neither is the body believing that the Federal Government is fair to its members in terms of appointments.
“The question one would ask is- why is it that when it comes to appointments, the federal character principle, even when it is adhered to, is always observed in the breach of the law that created it?
“Buhari should come out and tell us why every appointment now must be a Muslim or Hausa/Fulani Muslim. Is he telling us that in Kano, Katsina, Sokoto and other states he has appointed from that there is no Christian.
“Come to the Middle Belt, it has been worst hit by the appointment issue for every government in power, with the exception of Jonathan.
“For decades, the Middle Belters have always been at the receiving end and the reasons are obvious, 90 per cent of Middle Belters are Christians.”
