CAN President, Pastor
Ayo Oritsejafor

The Christian
Association of Nigeria has denied the allegation that its leaders were offered
N7bn by the Presidency to campaign for President Goodluck Jonathan’s
re-election. The association also
called on security agencies to investigate the Voice of Northern Christian
Movement and its Executive Director, Mr. Musa Dikwa, for making the allegation.
The association also
linked the allegation to those using different Christian organizations to
perpetrate fraud.
In a statement issued
on Friday in Abuja by the General Secretary of CAN, Dr. Musa Asake, the
association said the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (retd), had fallen into wrong hands, “because his endorsement
for the March 28 general election by Northern Christian Leaders Eagle-Eye Forum
led by one Aminchi Habu was fraudulent.”
The statement read, “We
are therefore calling on security agencies to investigate the activities of the
Voice of Northern Christian Movement and Musa Dikwa himself to unravel the N7bn
mystery which is intended by their sponsors to throw the country into serious
crisis.
“For the avoidance of
doubt, CAN has no knowledge of any N7bn 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 the CAN President, Pastors Ayo Oritsejafor; Bishop David Oyedepo of
Winners Chapel and Pastor Bosun Emmanuel (Secretary-General of National
Christian Elders Forum) are too upright to be linked with any such deal.”
