The Nigerian Christian Graduate Fellowship (NCGF) has tackled the President of the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs and the Sultan of Sokoto, his Eminence, Saad Muhammed Abubakar III for asking the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to analyse issues before reacting. CAN had supported the US government for placing Nigeria on a Watch list of countries that violate religious freedom. Reacting to Sultan’s statement, NCGF said it finds the Sultan’s outburst as unjustified and rather unfortunate. “We thought the Sultan should address the subject matter of the international opprobrium, which Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen have brought to the nation, rather than make scape goat of the Christian Association of Nigeria. Or is his Eminence contesting that there is no religious intolerance in Nigeria?
