Contrary to report by a group under the aegis of Concerned Christians of Nigeria and Northern Nigeria Christians that Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Northern Nigeria has withdrawn its the membership from the national body, the Northern group said it is still part of CAN.
The group had also called on the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), to investigate the activities of CAN under the leadership of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor.
The Public Relations Officer of 19 Northern States and Abuja of CAN, Rev. John Joseph Hayab, told New Nigerian in Kaduna Monday that the group should shield their sword and ensure dialogue for better understanding and harmonious working relationships for all Christians in the country.
He noted that though there were issues regarding the election of the national body of CAN, “We have engaged our Christian elders from the North to reach out to the new leadership of CAN with a view of finding a better way of resolving problems emanating from the election.
“We have also made these issues known to the new leadership and our prayer is that the body of Christ in the country is carried along so that the name of the Lord will be glorified in our lives.
“There is no time since the inception of the new leadership of CAN that the Northern body has withdrawn its membership. What we are saying, if there is any problem, it should be handled with all sense of maturity with a view of solving our problem,” he added.
He called on Christians in the country to pray for the new leadership of CAN for them to carry out their assignment diligently and with the fear of God.
