Oritsejafor Rallies Support For Emergency Rule

[Shola Sholaz]

National President of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritse-jafor has appealed to Nigerians to support the current emergency rule in three North Eastern states, arguing that no progressive nation would fold its hands and allow few fundamental insurgents to overrun its democratic structures with impunity.
.
Speaking in Warri, Delta State, the founder of Word of Life Bible Church stated that Nigerians should sup-port the programme because Jamaa'atu Ahlus- sunnah lid-da'wati wal jihad pop-ularly known as Boko Haram is a pseudo-Islamic terrorist group which had actually re-moved the Nigerian flag from several local gov ernments of Borno State and hoisted theirs.
.
He further argued that what that suggested is that the Borno State governor had lost grip of the state political mach-inery, noting that the current military operat-ion aimed at crushing the Boko Haram insurg-ency in the north-east region of Nigeria was the best alternative to restore peace to that region.
