The National Council of Muslim Youth Organisations, NACOMYO, Southern zone, has called on Nigerians to be patient with Buhari-led administration, adding that the government’s efforts will soon yield dividend of democracy.
The call is contained in a communique jointly signed by the National Vice President, Alhaji Mustapha Balogun and the Secretary, Abdul Mojeed Momoh and made public at the end of its 3rd annual Da’wah retreat held in Ado-Ekiti.
The group said, “The Nigerian State is going through a particularly difficult time.
“While we recognize that though the problems have been long in existence yet, the populace holds the hope that the result of government’s efforts to combat the problems would be swift in coming.
“The Council noted with grave concern the spate of kidnappings in the South East and South-South regions urging government to step up security of lives and property of the citizenry.
“In the same vein, the political violence in Bayelsa and Rivers States, cultism in the South-South and ritual killings in the South West are becoming worrisome as these have resulted in unnecessary loss of lives and property in those States.”
Reacting to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp situated in Edo State, South-south Nigeria, the council stated that it supported and appreciated the efforts of governments, religious bodies and civil society groups in offering succor to the displaced citizens in the North East, but regretted that the Christians see it as an opportunity to further their evangelical mission.
The statement added, “We are, however, dismayed that a Christian group in Edo State – International Christian Centre for Mission – is taking advantage of the sufferings of some of the hapless people of the North East to further their evangelical mission.”
