The Nigerian Christian Elders Forum (NECF), has alleged that the north wants to Islamize Nigeria.
This was revealed through their Chairman, Solomon Asemota who spoke when presenting a paper tagged, “A Quest for peaceful resolution of conflict of ideology, democracy and Islamism in today’s Nigeria,” at the Africa Peace, Security and Synergy Summit Washington, United States.
According to them, the average northerner believes he can turn the nation into a caliphate, stressing that the Boko Haram terror group was formed to achieve that.
“The prevailing mindset in the North is to turn Nigeria into a caliphate. In the circumstance it may not be far-fetched to suggest that their policies were responsible for, promoted or established directly or indirectly, Boko Haram as an insurgency and Fulani herdsmen all in a bid to justify the theocratic agenda they have for Nigeria,” Asemota said.
“One may ask why it was necessary that the leadership of the Armed Forces, Army, Navy and Air Force, the Police, Intelligence Services and most of the para-military – the NDLEA, Custom etc are headed by only Muslims.”
