A Christian group under the aegis of Congress of Northern Nigeria Christians (CNNC), has said Northern Nigeria is on the verge of becoming the minority in subsequent elections beginning from 2023.
CNNC said given the prevailing security challenges in the Northern part of the country where Christians and other tribes not perceived as northern Muslims have been consciously targeted and killed, hence they have renewed a new quest of identity away from the North.
The Chairman of the Christian Group, Engr. Daniel Kadzai, while responding to the spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed in his statement on Channels Television, where he vowed that the North will continue leading Nigeria, arguing that the region has the majority to produce the next president through the ballot.
According to Kadzai, “The North can be fractured into many ethnic groups. The North-central are even saying that they are not part of the North and are pushing to be recognized as the Middle-belt region.
“Also Hausa Christians in the North do not want to align with the Fulani. So who is the majority and which majority is Baba-Ahmed referring to?”, Kadzai queried.
