PREAMBLE
The Christian Social Movement of Nigeria, in collaboration with Coalition of Christian groups, convened a Consultative Assembly to evaluate the escalating threats facing Christians across Nigeria. The meeting combined spiritual emphasis, data-driven presentations, historical analysis, and constitutional diagnosis.
Speakers at the Consultative Assembly included the Chairman, Governing Council of CSMN, Elder Sunday Oibe, Engr. Mark Lipdo, Dr Tony Nwaezeigwe, Barrister Tony Nnadi, and Pastor Bosun Emmanuel. There was an interactive session after the presentations as the participants at the Assembly added their perspectives to the issues confronting the Church and the country.
The following resolutions emanated from the Consultative Assembly, for the consideration and necessary action of the Church and Nigeria as a country.
1. The Assembly acknowledges the overwhelming evidence of sustained, vicious, and targeted violence against Christian populations in Nigeria by Islamic terrorists, and resolves to speak with a unified and unambiguous voice regarding the genocide. The Assembly welcomed the intervention of the United States of America and urged that the American government should expedite action on its proposed intervention to bring the bloodshed to an end.
2. The Consultative Assembly strongly condemned the utterances of Christian leaders who deny genocide against Christians in Nigeria. The assembly regretted that some of these Christian leaders had earlier affirmed genocide against Christians but changed their stand due to compromise and political patronage. Participants called for greater unity amongst all Christian groups to resist a common foe.
3. The Assembly lamented that despite being the largest demographic group in Nigeria, the Christian bloc has been unable to maximize its voting assets due to disunity during election cycles. The Assembly urged for greater efforts at building Christian unity. Christians were reminded that Christian Social Movement of Nigeria (CSMN) is the socio-political arm of the Church and should be supported by Christians so that Christians can unite and build formidable presence at elections to provide righteous leaders for Nigeria.
4. The Assembly identified the 1999 Constitution as the major enabler of instability and facilitator of the strategic expansion of terror networks. It resolved that Nigeria must initiate constitutional renegotiation by the ethnic nationalities to resolve the ideological crisis (Democracy versus Sharia) plaguing Nigeria in its current illegal constitution.
5. The Assembly further endorsed the position of the US Government that the driving factor of the genocide is ideological and expansionist, not climate or economic. The Assembly urged the government of Nigeria to take urgent steps to resolve the incursion of Sharia ideology in the Constitution of Nigeria by commencing urgent arrangement for a conference of the ethnic nationalities to renegotiate Nigeria and establish democracy as the only national ideology of the country.
6. Irrefutable data presented during the Assembly confirmed the intentional decimation of the Christian population in Nigeria by Islamic terrorists. The intensity and consistency of the attacks against Christian communities in Nigeria confirm that the attacks are intentional and relentless. Data revealed that November 2025 was a particularly terrible month of attacks against vulnerable communities across Plateau, Benue, Kaduna, Kogi, Taraba, Niger, Kebbi, and Kwara states.
7. Data analysis during the Assembly also confirmed that the pogrom is spreading towards the South of Nigeria with increasing intensity. It warned that the Government of Nigeria must be proactive to stem the tide of nationwide breakdown of law and order. The Assembly reiterated the urgency of the intervention of United States of America as the situation in the country is getting worse.
8. The Assembly endorsed the Christian-wide minimum ₦500 monthly contribution model as the foundational financial architecture for Christian advocacy, IDP relief, media engagement, and legal interventions. All Nigeria Christians were encouraged to support Lay Faithful Trust Foundation established by CSMN to mobilize critical funding for effective Christian advocacy.

9. The Assembly emphasized the attainment of financial independence for Christian advocacy. The existing practice whereby government, politicians, and opposing faith provides funding for some arms of the Church and some Christian leaders was condemned. Christians were called upon to unite and contribute funds to make Christian advocacy financially independent and effective.
10. The Assembly resolved to convene a fresh Consultative Assembly to focus on the matter of new constitutional arrangements for Nigeria as panacea for lasting peace and unity in Nigeria.
God bless Nigeria.
