From Gyang Bere, Jos
The National Coordinator and Convener, Nigeria National Christians Coalition (NNCC), Titi Oluwadare, has said urged Northern Christians to form alliances with their Southern counterparts in order to form a formidable force in politics.
Oluwadare said the game politicians play is to give Southern Christians the impression that the north does not have Christians amongst them, thereby using divide and rule to conquer and silence Northern Christians. Oluwadare spoke yesterday in Jos during a one-day summit organised by the Nigeria National Christian Coalition, tagged: “Meet the Church”.
Represented by the National Coordinator, Nigeria Cry Out Movement, Pastor Zephaniah Ndaja, Oluwadare said the aim of the summit was to build a bridge between the Christians in the north and their southern brothers.
“Politicians have divided us for so long. What they use is divide and rule, because they know if Christians in the north have an understanding with Christians in the south, it will be difficult to sideline Christians in politics.
“These politicians come to use us when they need our votes and when they get to power they push us aside and make appointments based on their own religion.”
