President of the Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman has condemned the removal of Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK) as a subject of study from the secondary school curriculum.
He declared that the move was designed to make the country an Islamic state.
In a statement he issued on Sunday through his Communication Manager, Phrank Shaibu, the cleric said the move had confirmed the fear that Muhammadu Buhari planned to Islamise Nigeria.
He said the plot became obvious since Islamic/Arabic studies was left as a subject while CRK was just tucked under civic education.
His words: “The new curriculum which is the brain-child of the Nigerian Educational Research Council and which is mischievously crafted to force Islamic Studies down the throat of non adherents is unjust, discriminatory, a subtle attempt at islamization, and therefore unacceptable.
“This is a well orchestrated and articulated plot. Let nobody try to fool Nigerians that it was a mistake or a coincidence. Why is it that CRK would be removed as a subject to be studied from the secondary school school curriculum while Islamic/Arabic studies is retained? This is a plan from hell and it shall not stand.”
He said it was not a mere coincidence that the “plot” was hatched when Fulani herdsmen were killing in different parts of the country, and the youths in the North were giving the Igbo sack notice.
He said: “Over 7000 people have been killed by these Fulani herdsmen with our security forces unable to stop the bloodshed. So called Arewa youths backed by some discredited elders have also issued a treasonable ultimatum to Igbo people without any reprisals from the Buhari government. So, is it a coincidence that Christian Religious Knowledge has been expunged from the school curriculum?”
He stated further: “This evil policy must be reversed immediately. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Christain Religious Knowledge (CRK) must be restored to the school curriculum. And I’m happy that the CAN has taken up the battle to ensure that those who seek to banish our faith do not succeed. We will continue to speak out until satan and his agents are put to shame.”
“For as long as Fulani herdsmen continue to kill, rape and burn people’s homes without restraint. In the event that the safety of an ethnic group cannot be guaranteed in any part of the country. Then Nigerians should know that it is not a coincidence. And my God shall not fold arms while the devil and his children seek to destroy the destiny of Nigeria”, he declared.
He stated that, “We have the strength of character, the courage and the conviction to mount a sustained campaign in defence of justice, and in defence of our religion. We will not give up our religious practice because of someone else’. Nigeria belongs to us all and not for a few bigots who currently occupy positions of authority.”
He argued that the earlier Buhari’s men come to terms with the fact that Nigeria is a secular state and cannot be Islamized or made a Christian State under any guise, the better for everyone.
