A group, the World Zionist Union has faulted claims by the Federal Government that the ongoing National Identity Number (NIN) enrolment and synchronization will help reduce insecurity in the country and advance other national security interests.
In a recent letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, the group maintained that the mindset and people that created the problems cannot be the same mindset and people that will solve it.
The letter signed by Dr. Christopher Asadu, Prophet Godfrey Gbujie and Dr. Chigozie Chukwuokolo read in part: “The official argument that the synchronization policy would help the national security interests of the nation is very questionable and a fallacy because the compounded national security problems of Nigeria are traceable to bad and unpatriotic political governance which His Excellency’s office and government are very culpable for and cannot be exonerated from.”
The group also alleged that most discerning Nigerians are already suspecting the Presidency of a deliberate plan through the NIN enrolment, to boost the Fulani and Muslim population and offer Nigerian citizenship to the countless Arab and Muslim immigrants freely roaming the streets, market places and forests in Nigeria. According to the letter, it is believed that with the NIN, they will qualify for enumeration in the next national population census and subsequently will be qualified to vote.
“After all, is it not His Excellency’s government that officially introduced the National Immigration Policy of ‘Visa on arrival’ which encouraged the influx of millions of uneducated, unskilled and unemployable foreign Arab Muslims – many of who are suspected to be Islamic terrorists?”
The group among other things called for the cessation and outright ending of the NIN synchronization or that the policy be suspended until it shall have been discussed exhaustively nationwide and approved or disapproved by a reasonable majority of Nigerians in a referendum.
The group regretted that the rush to NIN centres by Nigerians occasioned by the questionable urgency with which the federal government has attended the NIN enrolment, violates COVID-19 protocols, mocks the COVID-19 claims of the federal government while making the proposed mass vaccination programme of citizens, suspect.
