The Public Relations Officer, 19 Northern States and Abuja of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Joseph Hayab, has warned that any attempt to arrest former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will set the nation into confusion.
In a statement he issued and made available to newsmen in Kaduna Tuesday said,
“Every honest Nigerian knows that the fellers on the ground is that this administration’s popularity is dwindling rapidly among Nigerian people. It is, therefore, not advisable to think or plan to arrest former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
“Let me warn that such a misadventure will set a wrong precedent and only open door for mischief people to set this nation into confusion.
“What Nigerians need urgently is availability of fuel, electricity, prompt salary, security of lives and property, among other issues that are begging for urgent answers.
“If the purported plan to arrest him is to please the international community and prove to them that we are fighting corruption, then let us know that this same international community are busy celebrating him as hero of democracy and even those who seriously wanted him to go for a change to happen are now singing a new song about him.
“Former President, Jonathan is deservedly seen in Nigeria and beyond as a hero of democracy because of his actions before, during and after the 2015 elections.
“As such, it will be an ill advice for the Buhari administration to initiate the arrest of such a statesman at this time and with the current realities.
“Our government must know that there are individuals serving today that are also been accused of corruption but since there are claims that nothing has been established against them, they are walking and speaking like saints.
“While ignoring all these, Government now wants to arrest a man of peace like Jonathan? CAN Northern States wishes to advice that such an action, if actualized, has the capacity to lead to serious confusion that will affect Nigeria economically and otherwise.
“We believe Former President Jonathan deserves praise and should receive gratitude from those in power today not scorn.
“Let it not be that this purported planned arrest is meant to distract Nigerians from speaking or complaining about the reality of what and how they are feeling since the past eleven months, we are afraid that such an action may spark a chain of reactions.
“If our President wants to arrest anything for now then he should arrest the incessant spate of herdsmen attacks in Nigeria which has led to the deaths of almost a thousand of innocent Nigerians under his watch.
“He should arrest the dangerous slide in the power sector.he should arrest the slide in the economy.
“We believe at this time and with the current realities that our former president most not be denigrate but honour, because honour must be given to whom it is due.”
I dnt knw y dis pple ar tryin to cause a civil war again
And who told u Buhari has d power to arrest Jonathan..then who told u Jona chop Buhari mate…rubbish
What is the meaning of this post..pure lies
No body can Arrest Jonathan,bcos there will be war
I blame Jonathan for this. If he had arrested buhari when he made that stupid comment “I will make that seat ungovernable for you” he ( buhari) wouldn’t have seen this presidency seat to do all these rubbish. Killing people anyhow and arresting anyone he sees.
Pls the don’t have to try this nonssense bcs is going be war
Well done Buhari, you’re doing extremely well….!
That’s the kind of Rubbish talk that makes all things go wrong in Nigeria too many have two Heads !!!
Instead of him to look into our economy that have crashed or his agent (fulani)that are killing people like cow he is busy looking for who to arrest you already a failure
Oga president every time jonathan, anything jonathan. Okay, if u arrest am now will everything be okay gain in nigeria? Nonsense. Oya arrest am nah, make we see wetin go be ur excuse again. Clueless and empty president.
Who lives in glass house doesn’t play with stone, Buhari should beware
Just like buhari, Goodluck has a lot of followers who are ready to die
And that’s exactly what we need now. Let Nigeria be thrown into confusion. So, Mr. President, I am in support of your secret plans, go ahead and arrest him. He deserves it after all. Meanwhile, he had chances to bring you to book for several issues in Nigeria, but played cold blOoded. That’s by the way, arrest him, and see the live version of the nightmare you had last night.
Pls arrest him n see
Stupid aimless Igbo Rants ! On the appointed “War” time, 95% of you Wailers would be busy displaying Second hand Clothing in Aba, Oshodi and Sabon Gari, respectively… War of empty Mouths !
You are a pathological liar and a brainwashed demented fellow for still telling this lie that buhari promised to make Jonathan administration ungovernable.
Buhari is adding problems to d ones on ground y nt do smtin abt our economy and boko haram is there nt only dem fulani don start their own,ure there thinking of jonathan….so dat dem go give u king of arrest abi wetin ?
Ibb,obj,must go to jail
Where on earth did he ever made such statement? Why is it difficult for Nigerians to use common sense for research? It’s such a shame that someone is still believing that lie.
Who is he arrests him and nothing will happen
Buhari is a Dictator,let him arrest obasanjo,babangida if he want to fight useless corruption
Frustrated? Benin is not far!
Alamajiri
This is what the fulanis did to the igbo’s. ..This is not funny anymore..
I think buhari is still the problem. .
here he is thinking on how to arrest Jonathan. ..am surely disappointed. .. This buhari should go back to his cows…
news said that the herdsmen kill more than 100 igbo’s. ..If naija is too big for this buhari to handle. then he should let biafra be!
am just suggesting anyway ..but they shud have value for life …pls .
For all I know, he can’t arrest Jonathan rather he can only probe him…..
u be the Igwe of mumu world over
Buhari is a member of boko haram and he promised his boys that he will get Jonathan arrested Buhari send his boko haram boys yesterday in Eungu state to go and kill our people it’s his plan with the Nigerian D.S.S police so that the can see what the will use to jail Nnamdi kalu because he Buhari know that if his boko haram boys kill our people we will kill them back and the Nigerian D.S.S police will now come out to say that Biafra killed Hausas fulani men so that the can jail Nnamdi kalu but there evil plan will not work there are many ways for us the Igbo speaking Biafrans to get the Hausas fulani boko haram in our land
It’s you people who are liars, very far from truth. Also who said, “if I’m given the opportunity, I will kill more igbos” ? Is it not the same your so called president, of which that’s what he’s really doing right now.
U say u will stop boko haram u didn’t I love jonathan k u guys said jonathan is nt doin any thing buhari u said u r the best bt we r nt seen anything
That is not Nigeria problem, we have many more ways to get our problems fix than running after a that did not sow what you want him to reap.
He has no time yet
And time is no longer on is side
God punish Buhari

Contact me for a visa to canada.usa.australia
Story that touches the heart of elephant. Thz just a mere rumor. Buhari is deadly but he cannot arrest his shadow.
He can’t.
That will be the end of Nigeria and emergence of Biafra and other sub countries .
The quick emergence of Biafra is looming,
You don’t need to respond to Tajudeen’s comment
If Jonathan have any question to Answer let him go an answer it nobody is above the law
In a country where law is working nobody is above the law boat buhari or whoever you think you are!!
PMB is in FCT not in Enugu or imo we all have governance who is in the state so in this case the have the right to do something about this before PMB! ! Thank you all
