The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has criticized the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) following President Donald Trump’s redesignation of Nigeria as a country of particular concern over alleged Christian g+nocide—claims the Nigerian government denies.
MURIC Executive Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, called the redesignation “blurred, misplaced, and distorted,” saying it misrepresents the true situation in Nigeria. He urged Nigerians to focus on internal “fifth columnists” rather than debate the U.S. decision.
Akintola noted that some Christian leaders had sent petitions to the U.S. Congress portraying Christians as the sole victims of t+rrorism in Nigeria. Instead of correcting this narrative, CAN allegedly amplified it.
He condemned CAN’s actions as a betr@yal, highlighting that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has favored Christians in appointments, with 62% of positions going to them, and that the First Lady has been particularly generous. “Despite all that was done for Nigerian Christians, they still deemed it fit to take Nigeria to the enabler of Gaza g+nocide,” Akintola said.
He described the act as the “Mother of all Betr@yals” and strongly denounced those behind the report.
