Speaking yesterday after a closed-doors meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan, president of Nigerian Bishops Conference, Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, said that the principal aim of Boko Haram was to eliminate Christianity and pave the way for total Islamization of the country.
The bishops particularly indicted the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), over the poor distribution of relief materials.
The bishop who led the delegation which included John Cardinal Onaiyakan, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Abuja and Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah, Minister of Works, Mike Onolemenme, Minister of State Education, Prof. Viola Onwuliri, and Federal Capital Territory Minister of State, Olajumoke Akinjide, said they were dissatisfied with the way relief materials were being disbursed and asked to be involved in the distribution.
On what transpired in the meeting, Kaigama said: “We had some concerns about the situation of security in the nation as well as political developments. In general terms, we shared with him in a conversation and discussion. We just wanted to remind him of things he already knows, there was nothing we said that was new, we just wanted to lay emphasis and we wanted him to know we are concerned.
“They are reviewing strategies and by the grace of God this terrorism that we are witnessing will soon be a thing of the past. This is the assurance we are coming away with.
