Don’t arrest Jonathan – Northern CAN warns Buhari

The Public Relations Officer, 19 Northern States and Abuja of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Joseph Hayab, has observed that the popularity of the present administration in the country was rapidly dwindling among Nigerians, advising that any attempt to arrest former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will not speak well of the country.

In a statement he issued and made available to newsmen in Kaduna Tuesday said, “Every honest Nigerian knows that the fellers on the ground is that this administration’s popularity is dwindling rapidly among Nigerian people. It is, therefore, not advisable to think or plan to arrest former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

“Let me warn that such a misadventure will set a wrong precedent and only open door for mischief people to set this nation into confusion.

“What Nigerians need urgently is availability of fuel, electricity, prompt salary, security of lives and property, among other issues that are begging for urgent answers.

“If the purported plan to arrest him is to please the international community and prove to them that we are fighting corruption, then let us know that this same international community are busy celebrating him as hero of democracy and even those who seriously wanted him to go for a change to happen are now singing a new song about him.

“Former President, Jonathan is deservedly seen in Nigeria and beyond as a hero of democracy because of his actions before, during and after the 2015 elections.

“As such, it will be an ill advice for the Buhari administration to initiate the arrest of such a statesman at this time and with the current realities.

“Our government must know that there are individuals serving today that are also been accused of corruption but since there are claims that nothing has been established against them, they are walking and speaking like saints.

“While ignoring all these, Government now wants to arrest a man of peace like Jonathan? CAN Northern States wishes to advice that such an action, if actualized, has the capacity to lead to serious confusion that will affect Nigeria economically and otherwise.

“We believe Former President Jonathan deserves praise and should receive gratitude from those in power today not scorn.

“Let it not be that this purported planned arrest is meant to distract Nigerians from speaking or complaining about the reality of what and how they are feeling since the past eleven months, we are afraid that such an action may spark a chain of reactions.

“If our President wants to arrest anything for now then he should arrest the incessant spate of herdsmen attacks in Nigeria which has led to the deaths of almost a thousand of innocent Nigerians under his watch.

“He should arrest the dangerous slide in the power sector.he should arrest the slide in the economy.

“We believe at this time and with the current realities that our former president most not be denigrate but honour, because honour must be given to whom it is due.”

    It would be the dumbest thing to arrest Jonathan. Period! Arrest Jonathan and that would signal Buhari’s exit from office. Jonathan, like other former heads of state, belongs to this club of former heads of state. And if Buhari thinks these gentlemen don’t hold any clout in Nigeria, then he better had another think coming.

    Never seen a president more ungrateful and clueless than the IMBECILE called Muhammadu Buhari!!!

    I warned Nigerians during the electioneering to stop presenting Buhari as the messiah…

    Some of them had the temerity to clap back at me with the refrain: We don’t care he is the Messiah!!!

    That was when I knew that Buhari will end up the most disgraced of Nigeria’s presidents!!!!

    Jesus will never share his glory with any man, lease of all with the twat and scumbag, certificate forger and perjured holier-than-thou swine called Buhari!!!!

    Nigerians have seen natin yet under Buhari!!!!

    Brace up for the worst, because the 1D0T has initiated a war with HEAVEN that he can never win!!!!!
