A senatorial aspirant for Edo Central senatorial district, Mr. Egheomhanre Eyieyien, yesterday, urged Christians to respond to recent outbursts of the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, concerning President of Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor.
Eyieyien noted in a statement, yesterday, that El-Rufai remains the National General Secretary of All Progressives Congress, APC, and some people listen to him.
“CAN cannot and should not ignore El Rufai’s outbursts because lies have a way of being perceived as truth when often repeated. El-Rufai has taken up a crusade against CAN President, Pastor Oritsejafor and has said several damaging things.
“He claims he knows the person that bought the jet which members of Word of Life Bible Church, Warri, Delta State, contributed money to buy as a gift for Pastor Oritsejafor to celebrate his birthday and his 40th year in ministry.”
Eyieyien said that the umbrella body of Christians in the country should challenge El-Rufai to disclose who he says actually provided the funds.
“How can such an issue be ignored by CAN, when it calls to question the integrity of the official leader of Christians in Nigeria?
Eyieyien added; “How can El-Rufai say that the President of CAN is the ‘propaganda spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party’ and some people cannot see the agenda at play? Is the CAN President a politician? Is he a member of any political party?”
