Nigerians React To Nigeria Allegedly Becoming 34th Member Of Muslim Nations To Fight ISIS

According to a report on Vanguard, there has been an attempt by the APC government to subtly enlist Nigeria among Arab nations to fight ISIS.

It was reported on foreign news that Saudi Arabia was building a coalition of 34 Muslim/Arab countries to fight ISIS and Nigeria was named among the 34.

This is how Nigerians have so far reacted:

Rev. Musa Asake, the General Secretary of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)

“This singular gesture of the Buhari government betrays so much, and tends to confirm our fears that underneath everything this government is doing, there is an agenda with strong Islamic undertones, aimed at undermining Nigeria’s pluralistic character and neutrality regarding government’s affiliation to any one religion.
“While joining hands with other countries to fight ISIS is something good, our country must not be tagged as a Muslim or Arab nation. Christians must make a public statement showing their discontent on this development which portends great danger to national unity and integration.”

Al Jazeera says Nigeria is now part of a “34 member coalition of muslim nations” and that they will “fight terror in the name.of islam”.

Is this part of “change” agenda? Can’t they just, for once, think about the implications of what they are doing? Nigeria is not a muslim

….state. We are a multi-religious, multi-cultural secular state and 1 million Muhammadu Buharis and his Saudi friends cannot change that.

Nigerians on Nairaland also had this to say:

Come 2019 Nigeria might be gravely divided among Ethnic,religious and political lines with the precedence this administration is setting.Never before has this Country been divided along this lines as at present.
Wisdom is profitable to direct….
