A pro-democracy group in Nigeria, Concerned Nigerians, has condemned Martin Luther King Jr’s family for giving leadership award to President Muhammau Buhari.
The Group noted that while the America’s foremost Civil rights activist stood and died for justice, the actions and inactions of Buhari since he was sworn in as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria negates the ideals and principles of Marthin Luther King Jr.
“Many today in Nigeria are in political servitude because they do not belong to President Buhari’s political party”, he said in a statement.
“Marthin Luther King Jr had a dream, a dream where his four little children Would live in a nation that they will not be Judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
“However, in our country Nigeria, the man that is being honored with Marthin Luther King jr’s legacy of equality and justice is known to be a despotic, tribalistic and nepotistic leader who has refused to adhere to the principles of federal character that allows equal opportunity for all.
“He categorized citizens from Southern Nigeria as 5% people that must not enjoy what people from his 97% region who overwhelmingly voted for him should enjoy.
“Minority Christians in the North have suffered so many losses, with the president abetting and pampering the perpetrators of the genocide that is ongoing in the North-Central region and Southern part of Kaduna state.
“We condemn in its entirety, this prestigious award that was conferred on the president.
