The Christian Association of Nigeria, in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja by the General
Secretary of association, Dr. Musa Asakehas denied the
allegation that its leaders were offered N7bn by the Presidency to campaign for
President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election.
The association called on security agencies to
investigate the Voice of Northern Christian Movement and its Executive
Director, Mr. Musa Dikwa, for making the allegation.
Going furthere, 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.”
“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.”
