The Christian Association of Nigeria(CAN) who was accused to
have been bribed by the President of Nigeria denied claims that the association
got the said sum of N7billion from the
Nigerian Presidency to support the ruling People’s Democratic Party(PDP) for
the country’s forthcoming general
elections slated for March 28, 2015.
The association’s General Secretary, Musa Asake, CAN said, in
a statement, “Our attention has been drawn to a report credited to one Musa
Dikwa alleging that the leadership of CAN was given N7 billion by President
Goodluck Jonathan to campaign for his re-elections.
“Ordinarily, we would have ignored this baseless and
worthless allegation but for the vulnerable public which believes in anything,
no matter how incredible the source could be easily especially in this era of
politics.
“For the avoidance of doubt, CAN has no knowledge of any
N7billion transaction as alleged by Musa Dikwa who claims to be the Executive
Director of a non-existent group, Voice of Northern Christian Movement. CAN is
not a political party, let alone getting involved in partisan politics.
Christians who are members of CAN belong to different political parties. It is
therefore surprising to hear that CAN is campaigning for one candidate.
Revered men of God including Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor,CAN
President, Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel and Pastor Bosun
Emmanuel(Secretary-General of National Christian Elders Forum) are too upright
to be linked with such deal.
CAN is not surprised to see Musa Dikwa doing a yeoman’s job
the next day through his allegations. This is the hands of Esau but the voice
of Jacob. The allegation of Dikwa is masterminded by those who were not happy
with our recent press statement in which we denounced the endorsement of the
presidential candidate of APC, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) by a group of
people using the name of different Christian organizations to perpetrate fraud.
We insist that Buhari has fallen into wrong hands because
his endorsement for the March 28 general election by Northern Christian Leaders
Eagle-Eye Forum led by Aminchi Habu is fraudulent.
The allegation is the height of mischief and desperation.
We are Christians and our candidate is Jesus
Christ. So long as we believe that the church is under threat, we will speak
for Jesus
Christ and maintain the Wake Up Call to the Church.
