\nThe Shehu of Borno and Vice President of Supreme Council for Islamic\u00a0 Affairs in Nigeria ,\u00a0 \u00a0Alh.Abubakar Ibn Umar Garbai El-Kanemi on Tuesday said he has Christians as Village and District heads as part of his fatherly disposition to accommodating all his subjects and ensure religious harmony .<\/p>\n

El-Kanemi stated that\u00a0 Borno State accommodates everyone and does not segregate\u00a0 base on people’s religious beliefs,\u00a0 saying that Christians in the state have been giving their pride of place<\/p>\n

The visibly elated Monarch was quick\u00a0 to tell the visiting President of Christian Association of Nigeria,\u00a0 ( CAN) Reverend\u00a0 Samson Ayokunle that Christians are occupying key offices in his Emirate Council and promised to sustain it .<\/p>\n

Speaking at his place in Maiduguri the Borno State\u00a0 Capital,\u00a0 the Shehu of Borno emphasized the need for religious tolerance amongst adherents of the country’s two main religion- Christians and Muslims, noting that religious leaders must do more to ensure peace in their domain.<\/p>\n

” Borno is the home of Islamic Education in Nigeria, nonetheless,\u00a0 due to our caring and acoomodating disposition, some of my red -cap chiefs are Christians and I enjoy working with them . I have village heads who are Christians and the District Head of Chibok which part of Borno Emirate is also a Christian. ” Shehu of Borno\u00a0 said<\/p>\n

The Shehu of Borno\u00a0 added that he has also sponsored some of his domestic staffs on Christian pilgrimage to Jerusalem with a view to enhancing their religious beliefs\u00a0 .<\/p>\n

Pointing in the direction of one\u00a0 his staff who is a christian,\u00a0 the Shehu of Borno said: ” I sponsored him to Jerusalem and some of the security operatives working\u00a0 here who are christians\u00a0 have also been employed\u00a0 by me after their retirement from service.<\/p>\n

On the decade long\u00a0 Boko haram insurgency,\u00a0 the Borno Monach assure that with current efforts being taken by the Federal government,\u00a0 peace will soon return to Borno State.<\/p>\n

He louded President Muhammad Buhari for appointing some indigins of the state into Strategic Security positions,\u00a0 adding that the gesture has assited immensely in fighting the Boko haram terrorists.<\/p>\n

Earlier , the CAN President Reverend Samson\u00a0 Ayokunle\u00a0 commended the Shehu of Borno for his fatherly disposition at accommodating Christians in the state.<\/p>\n

Reverend Ayokunle\u00a0 stated that his mission to the state is to\u00a0 come and identify with Christians , particularly those in the Internal Displaced Persons ( IDPs) camp\u00a0 and give them food items amongst others to celebrate Easter<\/p>\n

” We\u00a0 came here to visit some people (IDPs)\u00a0 and pray for and encourage\u00a0 them and bring relief materials that will help them continue to cope with their lives . Part of what we have distributed are food items which\u00a0 include 500 bags of Rice .<\/p>\n

” We also brought sewing machines , so that those who have the skills in their different IDP camps will continue to earn money with out depending on any .<\/p>\n

” It is our prayer that very soon,\u00a0 we will be able to overcome this challenges (Boko haram insurgency) in this part of the world, and all IDPs will be able to return to their homes .<\/p>\n
