Zamani Lekwot (rtd), Dr.<br \/>\n(Mrs) Kate Okpareke, Dr. Ayo Abifarin, Bishop Joseph Bagobiri, Archbishop<br \/>\nMagnus Atilade, Elder Moses Ihonde, Elder Nat Okoro and Prof. Vincent<br \/>\nAnigbogu.<\/p>\n<p>Others are Gen. Ishaku Dikko (rtd), Justice Kalajine Anigbogu (rtd), Elder<br \/>\nShyngle Wigwe, DIG P. L. Dabup, Sir John W. Bagu, Dr. Saleh Hussaini,<br \/>\nElder Mike Orobator, Chief Olaniwun Ajayi, Justice M. Ogebe (rtd), Mrs.<br \/>\nPriscilla Kuye, Chief Debo Omotosho, Dr. Musa Asake, Joseph Daramola,<br \/>\nPastor Olatunbosun Emmanuel (Secretary).<\/p>\n<p>The coalition in a statement by Asemota obtained in Abuja, said it was<br \/>\nobvious that the All Progressives Congress (APC), which promised Nigerians<br \/>\nchange from the lawlessness and impunity that seem to characterise this<br \/>\ncountry, was drifting the country to a wrong direction.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from NCEF, other members of the coalition include Nigerian Christian<br \/>\nGraduate Fellowship; Think Tank for the body of Christ; Christian Lawyers<br \/>\nFellowship of Nigeria; Association of Christian Schools in Nigeria;<br \/>\nStudents Christian Movement; Christian Professionals Forum; Intercessors<br \/>\nfor Nigeria and and International Prophetic Ministerial Association (Inc.<br \/>\nWorldwide College of Bishops and Ministers: Africa, UK and USA.<\/p>\n<p>The coalition also has Intercessors Without Walls; Wailing Women<br \/>\nInternational; Full Gospel Businessmen Fellowship; Nigerian Fellowship of<br \/>\nChristian Students; Ministers Prayer Network; International Christian<br \/>\nEmbassy Jerusalem and University Joint Campus Christian Fellowship as<br \/>\nmembers.<\/p>\n<p>The statement by Asemota reads: &#8220;As Nigerians, we congratulate the Muslims<br \/>\nin the nation on their successful completion of the Ramadan fast in 2016.<br \/>\nHowever, we are disturbed by the apparent shoddiness and confusion the<br \/>\nFederal Government brought into the declaration of the Public Holiday<br \/>\nrounding up the Muslim religious exercise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Federal Government had earlier declared Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th<br \/>\nJuly as Public Holiday only to reverse itself and declare Wednesday 6th<br \/>\nand Thursday 7th July 2016 as Public Holiday. If this was done before<br \/>\nTuesday was observed as Public Holiday, it would have been tolerable but<br \/>\ndeclaring Thursday 7th as Public Holiday in addition to Tuesday and<br \/>\nWednesday is a mark of institutional unseriousness. The implication now is<br \/>\nthat three days would be work free in the week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are equally appalled that the Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman<br \/>\nDambazau based the decision to declare Thursday as Public Holiday on the<br \/>\ndirective by the President General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for<br \/>\nIslamic Affairs, Alhaji Sa\u2019ad Abubakar III, the Sultan of Sokoto, to the<br \/>\neffect that the Ramadan fast continues today (last Tuesday) as a result of<br \/>\nthe non-sighting of the moon.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are not aware that Nigeria has transmuted into a religious theocratic<br \/>\nstate in which the leader of a religious group issues directive to the<br \/>\nFederal Government. If the President General of the Nigerian Supreme<br \/>\nCouncil for Islamic Affairs confirmed Wednesday and Thursday as Public<br \/>\nHoliday for the Ramadan fasting, then who advised the Federal Government<br \/>\nto declare Tuesday a Public Holiday?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As innocuous as some people may want to present this development, it is a<br \/>\ndangerous signal confirming the worrisome direction of the party that<br \/>\npromised Nigerians change from the lawlessness and impunity that seem to<br \/>\ncharacterize this nation. Since the inception of the Buhari<br \/>\nadministration, it has left no one in doubt of its discriminatory leaning<br \/>\ntowards Islam as the preferred religion in Nigeria, in violation of<br \/>\nSection 10 of the constitution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Buhari Administration needs to be reminded again that Nigeria is not<br \/>\nan Islamic Theocratic State that receives \u201cdirective\u201d from a Sultan.<br \/>\nNigeria is a democratic and secular nation and preferential treatment<br \/>\nshould not be accorded any section of the nation but all should be treated<br \/>\nequally.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If indeed a mistake was made in declaring Tuesday a Public Holiday that<br \/>\ndoes not warrant declaring Thursday a Public Holiday. Both the Federal<br \/>\nGovernment and leaders of Islam should have maintained the statutory two<br \/>\ndays Public Holiday and learnt a lesson on how to not to repeat the<br \/>\nmistake in future.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is very embarrassing the tardiness and shoddiness that the Buhari<br \/>\nAdministration has brought into governance in Nigeria. Decent and<br \/>\nrespectable people are ashamed at the flagrant acts of discrimination,<br \/>\nnepotism, and impunity of the APC led government.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We wish to state clearly that declaring Thursday an additional Public<br \/>\nHoliday is not only wrong but an insensitive approach to the management of<br \/>\nthe economy. The economic well being of the nation should not be<br \/>\nsacrificed on the altar of religious fervor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nevertheless, having illegally appropriated an additional day as Pubic<br \/>\nHoliday during the Eid-el-Fitri, the Federal Government and leaders of<br \/>\nIslam should be prepared to repay the nation the extra day during the next<br \/>\nEid-el-Kabir in which we expect only one day should be approved as Public<br \/>\nHoliday. Nigeria should not be turned into a lawless nation. The APC led<br \/>\ngovernment should call itself to order.<\/p>\n<p>COALITION OF CHRISTIAN GROUPS<\/p>\n<p>1.
