90% of northern politicians are members of Boko Haram – CAN

 

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has reacted to the Monday car park attack in Kano, saying it has exposed the hypocrisy of those canvassing for amnesty for the dreaded Boko Haram members.
The Public Relations Officer of CAN in the 19 Northern States and Abuja, Mr. Sunny Oibe, alleged that 90 per cent of politicians in the North were members of the sect.
He said, “We commiserate with families of the people who lost their loved ones and they should take solace in God, who is going to fight on their behalf.
“The latest attack has exposed the hypocrisy of the people calling for amnesty for Boko Haram members. It is surprising that they are demanding amnesty for people, who have been killing innocent citizens on daily basis.
“We are sad about it and the latest attack goes to show that they are not ready for any ceasefire. All the people calling for amnesty are part of these problems because they are shielding these people and almost 90 percent of core northern politicians are members of this Boko Haram.”
The Arewa Consultative Forum, a Northern socio-political group, has described the Monday bomb blasts in Kano as sad and shocking.
ACF in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Anthony Sani, on Monday condemned the attack, saying that it was uncalled for.

Over 60 people were on Monday killed in the explosion that hit a car-park in Kano.
