PRESS RELEASE

OBASANJO'S CLAIM OF 'FULANIZATION' AND 'ISLAMIZATION' AS THE BASIS FOR 'BOKO HARAM' INSURGENCY, KIDNAPPING AND BANDITRY, IS RECKLESS UNPATRIOTIC AND UNCALLED FOR

On Saturday, the 18th day of May, 2019, a former head of State and former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was a guest speaker at the second session of the Synod of Anglican Dioceses held at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul's Anglican Church, Oleh in Isoko Local Government of Delta State.

Speaking on the topic: "Mobilizing Nigeria's human and natural resources for national development and stability", Chief Obasanjo claimed that "FULANIZATION and ISLAMIZATION of West Africa" is now the main reason for 'boko haram' insurgency, kidnapping and banditry. In his words, the former president said: "It is no longer an issue of lack of education and lack of employment for our youths in Nigeria which it began as, it is now West African Fulanization, African Islamization and global organized crimes of human trafficking, money laundering, drug trafficking, gun trafficking, illegal mining and regime change".

MSSN B- Zone believes that the statement relating the crimes to Islam, and most especially coming from a former head of State and former President, is not only reckless, it is unpatriotic and uncalled for.

If despite the incomparable loss of lives by Muslims in the boko haram insurgency and other criminal activities, people like Obasanjo still find it difficult to believe that the crimes have no way in Islam and can go ahead to associate them to Islam, it is most unfortunate and highly dissapointing to say the least.

If we must remind Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, perhaps he has forgotten, his regime as President of Nigeria gave rise to regional insurgency such as Niger/Delta militancy and Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) with the militants being mainly southern christians, yet, nobody ascribed the militancy to 'CHRISTIANIZATION'

Also considering where Obasanjo chose to make the reckless statement, the congregation being purely southern Christians, it shows Obasanjo deliberately made the wrong assertion to instigate tribal and religious crisis. This is worrisome and unbecoming of somebody of Obasanjo's status as former head of State.

In the circumstance, MSSN B-Zone condemns in the strongest term the statement made by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo claiming what he called ISLAMIZATION as the reason for boko haram insurgency and other criminal activities.

We want to state it for the umpteenth time that insurgency, kidnapping, banditry, drug trafficking been perpetrated across all states in Nigeria and by people of different religions and tribes, have no basis in Islam and have nothing to do with Islam and Muslims.

We call on Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to be careful in his statements and stop making statements defamatory and indicting of Islam and Muslims in Nigeria in order not to put Nigeria in an avoidable tribal and religious crisis.

We finally call on well- meaning Nigeria and international community to call Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to order in his reckless statement capable of throwing Nigeria into conflict. As an old man and a former President of the country, he should be more patriotic and concentrate on actions that can bind Nigeria together rather than those that can break it.

The MSSN should be aware the actions of the president is in line with what OBJ has said. For example when the former Minister of Finance(from South West) was removed from office, who replaced her? And when Mamman Daura the former DSS boss was removed from office, due to insubordination, as the law demands, his replacement should be the next most senior officer in DSS, which the VP did, while PMB was outside the country, but on returning back he removed the South/South nan and replaced him with a Northerner. My question now is where are the 90% of the Service Chiefs from?

book haram are the true soldiers of Islam according history of Mohammed , he was a terrorist too! in the issue of killing Muslims even in hadith and Koran any Muslim that refused the ideology of Mohammed is termed infidel and the fate of infidel will be fall him or her. terrorism is part Islamic teaching until you people scrap it off people will take you serious. just because I commented on a Islamic page on Facebook they started threatening me .

Kokoebapluse:



What you don't know is Boko Haram kill muslim even more than christain. Boko Haram blow mosque ,market anyone they see they kill. Boko Haram are not muslim but terrorist. Pls stop criticising.

Queenest11:
Who God name they shout in their operations, it's not Alla Ku ba? Who are they? Are they not Muslims? I don't blame you sha, is a shameful thing to associate with as a religious.

coolzeal:
The killings by Boko Haram terrorists and their Fulani terrorists or bandits are systematic way of wiping out the Christian minorities in the North.. Forget about the few mosques bombed, it's just a front. Watch carefully as they are making advances towards South. Even Trump admitted the killings of Christians in Nigeria and TY Danjuma too. Wake up dumb South, we can't know better than OBJ.
