Today, we stand at a crossroads in the history of our nation. While the Middle East remains engulfed in a regional conflict triggered by the pursuit of security, Nigeria continues to grapple with an internal crisis of identity—specifically, the identity of those who seek to destroy us.
For too long, high-ranking officials and influential figures have utilized a vocabulary of kinship to describe individuals who have committed heinous crimes against the Nigerian people. We must address the documented record of these statements and the chilling message they send to the victims of insurgency.
Today, we stand at a crossroads in the history of our nation. While the Middle East remains engulfed in a regional conflict triggered by the pursuit of security, Nigeria continues to grapple with an internal crisis of identity—specifically, the identity of those who seek to destroy us.
For too long, high-ranking officials and influential figures have utilized a vocabulary of kinship to describe individuals who have committed heinous crimes against the Nigerian people. We must address the documented record of these statements and the chilling message they send to the victims of insurgency.
THE RECORD OF KINSHIP WITH TERROR
VP Kashim Shettima: As Governor of Borno State in 2017, the current Vice President famously dismissed calls for structural reform, stating, "Restructuring my foot! To hell with restructuring." While dismissing political reform, he simultaneously pioneered a narrative of familial ties with insurgents, frequently referring to Boko Haram members as "our brothers" and "children of the soil."
Murtala Nyako: In 2014, the former Governor of Adamawa State accused the federal government of "genocide" against Northern Nigeria, effectively framing the military's fight against Boko Haram as an attack on "our sons and brothers."
Sheikh Ahmad Gumi: The controversial cleric has consistently lobbied for the "protection" of bandits, famously stating that "bandits are our brothers" and advocating for their inclusion in national budgets and amnesty programs rather than military prosecution.
NSA Nuhu Ribadu: Most recently, even the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has used language " terrorist are our brothers" suggesting a "brotherly" approach to non-kinetic engagement with those spreading terror in the North.
A SOLEMN REJECTION BY THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
We, the Christian community and all lovers of peace in Nigeria especially the BIAFRA People, say NO.
We refuse to be "brothers" to those whose sole agenda is to slaughter innocent families, raze churches, and forcibly convert citizens through the barrel of a gun. There is no brotherhood in bloodshed. There is no kinship in kidnapping. To label a terrorist as a "brother" is to spit on the graves of the thousands of Nigerians—Christian —who have been murdered by these "terrorists."
We reject a system that offers rehabilitation and "payments" to terrorists while peaceful agitators are met with state-sponsored violence and genocide.
