    Insecurity: Foreign terrorists have taken over Nigeria- Christian Elders

    Insecurity: Foreign terrorists have taken over Nigeria- Christian Elders

    … Says indigenous ethnic nationalities should define their friends, enemies

    ***Seek ban on nomadic cattle rearing

    ****Demand new constitution, ask Tinubu to appoint special investigator to probe killings

    ***Says indigenous ethnic nationalities should sit to renegotiate Nigeria

    A coalition of statesmen in Nigeria under the aegis of National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) on Thursday blamed foreign invaders masquerading as religious extremists for the spate of killings and blooshed in the country.

    The organisation which membership comprises renowned technocrats and cuts across VIPs from different sectors said indigenous ethnic nationalities have the same and common enemy in the foreign invaders.

    NCEF also told President Bola Tinubu to implement the report of the 2014 National Conference without any further delay, while there should be an immediate ban on nomadic cattle rearing and abolishment of RUGA project.

    NCEF wondered why the present administration have not dismantled terrorists, even though the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari failed to act.

    The Chairman of the forum and former Deputy Governor of Taraba State, Dr. Samuel Gani and Secretary, Pastor Bosun Emmanuel, at a press conference, called on the indigenous ethnic nationalities to come together to renegotiate Nigeria.

    Details Below…

    PRESS CONFERENCE
    STATE OF THE NATION:
    RACIAL DISPLACEMENT INVASION

    Distinguished members of the Press, and fellow citizens of the Federal
    Republic of Nigeria, we welcome you to this Press Conference. We thank
    you for joining us as we deliberate on crucial issues that concern our
    country. It is our hope that the government and people of Nigeria shall
    consider the issues we shall raise in this conference.

    National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) wishes to commence this Press
    Conference by expressing heartfelt condolences to our compatriots who
    were bereaved of their loved ones in various fatal incidents. We
    remember a distinguished member of the NCEF, Elder Shyngle Wigwe,
    whose children died in a fatal helicopter crash in USA. We also remember
    our fellow Christians who were brutally murdered by Islamist insurgents
    in the Northern parts of the country. Worthy of mention are the
    Nigerians killed by kidnappers and those felled in various avoidable
    death occurrences. May the departed souls rest in peace and may God
    comfort and strengthen the families they left behind.

    As we mourn those who have died, particularly those murdered by
    religious insurgents, we urge the living to consider that the same threat
    is hanging over the heads of the survivors, if government does not attach
    seriousness to the activities of terrorists in the country. The problem
    facing Nigeria is a complex one and it is evident that we are facing an
    organized invasion by foreign forces masquerading as religious
    extremists. Nigeria is facing a racial and cultural domination agenda
    disguised as religious intolerance. In addition to the wanton murder of
    announced that they have selected Nigeria as food hub for OIC member
    nations. This announcement was made without prior discussion with the
    ethnic nationalities that own the land, and without the consent of State
    Governors who statutorily control allocation of land in the country.

    In Plateau and Kaduna states, data exists that hundreds of villages of the
    ethnic nationalities have been taken over by foreign Fulanis. The owners
    of the land have been driven into IDP camps while the names of the
    villages have been changed to Fulani names. In Plateau state, over 102
    villages were reportedly taken over by Fulani invaders while in Kaduna
    state, over 109 villages have been dislodged. The owners of the land are
    in IDP camps. Recently, a community leader in the Niger Delta, Mr. Asari
    Dokubo, posted in a video clip that thousands of Fulanis have entered
    the country and they have taken over villages in Bayelsa and Rivers state.
    He raised alarm that a displacement invasion is ongoing. Similar reports
    have been made in Taraba, Benue, Adamawa, and in other parts of the
    country.

    The recent visit of Hamas terrorists to Nigeria, bearing in mind that
    Hamas is not the government of Palestine, neither does it represent the
    Palestinian people in any legislative capacity, also raises concern about
    government’s commitment to fighting terrorism. Shortly after the
    abduction of 287 secondary school children in Kuriga, Kaduna State, a
    security expert, Dr. Kabiru Adamu, stated on Arise TV that the location
    of the camps of the bandits was known to government four years ago.
    Even if the Buhari administration failed to act, what stopped the Tinubu
    administration from dismantling the camps of the terrorists?

    NCEF is calling on the indigenous Muslims in Nigeria to calmly examine
    these issues and take positions that will be in the long-term best interest
    of their ethnic groups. What is going on is more than religion. For
    hundreds of years, before the Europeans started slave trade in Africa,
    the Arabs have been preying on black Africans as slave market. The
    Arabic word “abeed” refers to a black African, as well as to a slave. The late Osama bin Laden shed more light on the Arabic word “abeed” in an
    interview in his lifetime when he said, “this is why whenever an Arab
    looks at a black African, what he sees is a slave.” This word, “abeed”, has
    not been expunged from the Arabic language.

    This is the time for the indigenous ethnic nationalities to carefully define
    their friends and foes. The amount of blood that has been shed in
    Nigeria, involving indigenous Christians, Muslims, and traditionalists,
    prove that the indigenous ethnic nationalities have the same enemy.
    That enemy is a foreign invader. The killings going on in Nigeria were not
    motivated by the indigenous ethnic nationalities. Unfortunately, some of
    the local actors were manipulated into thinking they were pursuing a
    religious agenda, but the puppet masters have no religious goal in view.

    It is all about racial displacement.
    In view of the foregoing, National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF), wishes
    to recommend as follows:

    1. The Report of the 2014 National Conference, which included a draft
    new Constitution for Nigeria, should be implemented without any
    further delay. NCEF joins its voice with that of the eminent
    Nigerians in the Patriots Group, that held a Conference on 18th
    March 2024, calling for a new Constitution for Nigeria. The
    perennial amendment of the Constitution by the National Assembly should cease, and the legislators should start work on a new Constitution for Nigeria. After five alterations to the Constitution, without any significant positive impact on the
    country, the National Assembly should commence work
    immediately on adopting the report of the 2014 National
    Conference with its draft Constitution.

    2. There should be an immediate ban on nomadic cattle rearing. Cattle owners should be compelled to set up ranches at their own expense as business entrepreneurs. It should not be the
    responsibility of the government to fund one enterprise at the expense of other businesses in the country. After all, when the cattle are sold, the proceed is not handed over to the government.

    3. The RUGA project should be abolished. In the first instance, the
    Federal Government has no statutory right to allocate land in
    Nigeria under the Land Use Act. This is the responsibility of the
    States. Any business investor that requires land should apply for
    land like other citizens. Preferential treatment should not be
    accorded any group in Nigeria.

    4. The ethnic nationalities should assert their right and ownership over their ancestral land and assert the dominion of their thrones
    in Nigeria.

    5. The ethnic socio-cultural groups such as Afenifere, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Arewa Consultative Group, Middle Belt Forum, and PANDEF should consider these issues in greater detail. Nigerians
    have no problem with each other. It is external forces that are
    seeking to tear the country apart for hostile takeover of the land
    and its resources. The demand for devolution of power should be
    intensified by the ethnic nationalities.

    6. President Tinubu should set forth his agenda for Nigeria instead of
    following in the infamous footsteps of his predecessor whose
    tenure brought only grief and penury to Nigerians.

    7. NCEF wishes to reiterate its earlier recommendation that President
    Tinubu should appoint a Special Investigator to conduct a
    Commission of Inquiry into the causes, as well as expose the actors,
    in the various acts of terrorism and religious insurgency that
    overwhelmed Nigeria since 2009.

    The purpose of this Press Conference is to awaken Nigerians to the
    reality of foreign invasion against the country. Nigeria is facing racial
    displacement invasion. It is this foreign invasion that is responsible for
    the insecurity in Nigeria and compromise of the delicate political balance
    in the country. While every Nigerian is free, according to Section 38 (1)
    of the Constitution to express his/her religious conviction, citizens must be careful not to jeopardize National Security under misguided religious
    fervour.

    God bless Nigeria.
