An earth-shaking event of equal epochal proportion occurred in the country recently, which shook the very foundations of our collective existence as a nation. The event also showed nakedly, the steepness of two of Nigeria’s fault lines: religion and ethnicity.
The withdrawal of the invite, coming from a premium association such as the NBA, would have added a positive fillip to efforts to hold government and its officials accountable for their deeds and misdeeds while in office but that s not to be as it unearthed the deepness of our religious division in a negative manner.
There won’t been any need for worry if the debate on the move by the two camps are healthy and intellectual, rather, the talking points have continued to suggest that the action had other ulterior motives behind it other than what the public had been made to believe. Sensing dangers in the demands of both Akintola and MULAN, the already jittery leadership of the NBA now gave an open cheque to MULAN to nominate another ‘Muslim’ governor and they did by naming the new kid on the bloc, Governor of Borno State, Professor Baba Zulum, as El-Rufa’i’s replacement.
Contrary to popular belief, the killings in Southern Kaduna have affected adherents of both religions not just one, a situation that would have warranted the Muslim lawyers to influence some positive changes, rather than take sides. Muslims have been killed, so also Christians too.
