Sanusi wants Can, Afenifere, JNI, Others Banned

CENTRAL Bank Governor Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has recommended the ban of religious and socio-cultural groups.

Sanusi listed such associations to include; the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Afenifere, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Ja’amatu Nasril Islam (JNI) and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

He described the groups as political associations in religion and regional garbs.

Sanusi said: “When I was approached to speak on the economy at the forum called the Northern Reawakening Forum, my initial reaction was that I don’t go to these regional and ethnic groups because I have a very strong views against Arewa, Afenifere, Ohaneze and other regional and ethnic groups.

“And I think these regional and ethnic groups should be banned; including, by the way, Ja’amatu Nasril Islam (JNI), and Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

“They should be banned because they are not religious organizations; they are not cultural organisations; they are political associations in disguise of religion and region.”

From one controversy to the other...do you agree with him?
