We are still under the national body of CAN – Northern Chapter

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Christians of Nigeria and Northern Nigeria Christians that Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Northern Nigeria has withdrawn its membership from the national body, the Northern group said it is still part of CAN.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 Crimes Commission, EFCC, to investigate the activities of CAN under the leadership of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor.
CAN Public Relations Officer for the 19 Northern States and Abuja, Rev. John Joseph Hayab, told DAILY POST in Kaduna, Monday that the group should sheathe their sword and ensure dialogue for better understanding and harmonious working relationship.

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 to 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“There is no time since the inception of the new leadership of CAN that the Northern body has withdrawn its membership.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 is that if there is any problem (s), it should be handled with all sense of maturity with a view of solving our problem (s),” 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.
