Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Youth Wing, Saturday,
reacted to comments by the Chairman of Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, Bauchi
State chapter, Idrees Safiyanu Gambo’s against members of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God, RCCG vying for elective position in 2023.
Recall that MURIC, in a statement by
the Bauchi Chairman, warned that any political party that picks any member of
the RCCG will kiss the Aso Rock goodbye.
But the National Chairman of CAN’s Youth Wing, Belusochukwu
Enwere, who spoke in Owerri, Lambasted MURUC, arguing that MURIC’s statement
was an insult to Christians and an abuse of the freedom of the people.
He said, MURIC’s statement shows the low level of the said
group and how blind they are in the 21st century.
”For MURIC to say they are challenging RCCG for having the
effrontery to launch a political and good governance wing is an insult to our
fathers and the entire Christians in Nigeria, especially the young people”.
“MURIC calling another faith-based group that will queue
behind any candidate from RCCG a traitor is an abuse of office and their
freedom of association as stipulated in the Nigerian constitution, and their
warning to Islamic organizations and Muslim communities against supporting RCCG
is indirectly telling them not to support a Christian candidate in 2023.
“It is the turn of Christians to produce the next president
of the country in 2023. We call on them to join hands with us to preach for
peace, oneness and help make Nigeria a better place where both Christians and
Muslims will be seen as one and have equal rights in all
ramifications.”Vanguard quoted him as saying.
