The Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN) have blamed Christians for continued persecution of Christians in
Nigeria.
CAN President, Samson Olasupo
Ayokunle lamented that Christians do not have the boldness like Esther to fight
for their faith, hence the reason for their continued persecution in Nigeria.
According to him, “Most
‘Christians’ in politics places political advantages above the spiritual and
that have contributed to the continued persecution of the church in Nigeria.”
Ayokunle also lamented Churches
inability to get Certificate of Occupancy (CofO) in some parts of the north,
which according to him is against the constitution of Nigeria.
He said this at a breakfast
meeting with the Christian Press Association of Nigeria (CPAN) with the theme
‘Christian response to global persecution’ in Lagos.
He added that the spate of
kidnapping, banditry and other civil unrest will stop if the current administration
reduced unemployment, among the teeming young population in Nigeria, stating an
idle person is a willing tool for the Devil.
Ayokunle also berated the lack of
unity among Christians to speak and pursue a common objective.
“The Church is so rich but cannot
put resources together for a single purpose,” he said.
