NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS REJOICE WITH ISRAEL ON JERUSALEM STATUS

CAN REJOICES WITH ISRAEL @70 AND DECLARES JERUSALEM AS THE CAPITAL OF ISREAL IS IN ORDER

Once again, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) congratulates the Israelis government on the relocation of the capital to Jerusalem and on the occasion of 70 years anniversary of their country.
Unarguably, the relocation is the Special Anniversary Present from the God of the Patriarchs.
We are happy that countries such as the United States of America, Guatemala, Honduras, Romania and Paraguay have relocated their embassies from Tel Aviv.
The declaration made by President Donald Trump on 6 December, 2017 was a fulfilment of the Biblical prophecy and it is our prayers that other countries including Nigeria will relocate their embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
At a press conference addressed by our late General Secretary, Rev Dr Musa Asake, on 16th January, 2018, we condemned in strong terms the position of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government that voted against the position of the US  on the historic decision.
In that statement, we declared, “The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is compelled once again, to draw the attention of the Buhari Administration to the non-aligned status of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in international conflicts. We have had cause to express great apprehension when in December 2015, President Buhari, without giving consideration to Section 10 of the Constitution, as well as to the sensitivity of Christians that constitute over 50% of the Nigerian population, led Nigeria to join the Saudi Arabia initiated Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC).
“Since then, there have been other disturbing actions of the President internally, that borders on adoption of Islam as state religion in a Secular State. These include the promotion of Sharia Compliant Finance, using State resources, violation of Federal Character Principle in the Constitution by appointing mostly Muslims to head Security Units in the nation, and the inability of the Government to arrest and prosecute rampaging Islamic militias, amongst others.
“Recently, Mr. President once again dragged Nigeria to interfere in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict by voting against the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel at the United Nations. The non-aligned status of Nigeria demanded that Nigeria should have abstained from voting, either for or against, when the issue came up at the UN...
 “The Christian Association of Nigeria is placing on record that the negative vote of Nigeria over Jerusalem is not the consensus of the citizens of this country and therefore, it should not be regarded as representing the choice of Nigeria. It is a sectional and unilateral imposition of the President Buhari Administration.”
The President, His Eminence, Rev Dr Samson Olasupo Ayokunle seek your assistance in disseminating this information to the public as he prays for your divine protection and all round prosperity.
Thank You.
