Arewa Christians  and Indigenous Pastors Association, ACIPA Wednesday declared that any political party or candidate that neglects Arewa (Northern) christians in their permutation does so at their own peril.


In a press release, chairman of the Association, Rev Luke Shehu stated: "We are aware of intent of religious bigots or those sympathetic to radical Islam to hijack Nigeria into a full-fledged muslim control and a sham democracy"


The Association strongly advised christian leaders never to compromise Nigeria's democracy to those sympathetic to radical Islamist and religious bigots. "They only believe in the supremacy of their religion while pretending to be democrats and lovers of peace", it stated 


ACIPA further slammed candidates and parties covertly or overtly supporting Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgered and Questioning, LGBTQ, describing the phenomenom as unacceptable to christians and Nigerians
