The Christian Association of Nigeria on Wednesday
dissociated itself from Bishops who attended the unveiling of the vice
presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Kashim Shettima,
saying they were desperados who went there for themselves.
The organisation said that although the presidential
candidate of the APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was free to “hire mechanics and other
artisans and sew clerical garments for them”, that effort would only add to
their many ropes but would not change the need for fairness and justice.
The Vice President of CAN (19 Northern States and Abuja) and
its chairman in Kaduna State, Rev. Joseph John Hayab, said this in an interview
with journalists in Abuja.
He said, “The people we saw at the unveiling of Shettima
paraded as Bishops are people who did not have enough time to learn how to wear
Bishop garments. Take a closer look at their photo and you will see another
Nollywood movie.
“CAN wonders why the desperation. First, a story was out
claiming to have come from the Chairman of CAN Borno state only to be refuted.
Secondly, there was another lie that BAT (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) and his running
mate were on their way to meet CAN President one night. A meeting that was not
true and was on a night that the CAN President was in Alabama USA attending the
Baptist World Alliance Conference of which he is the Vice President.
“Another desperation story was that they met Papa Adeboye
which the RCCG later refuted. If Christians are not important why the
desperation?
“BAT is free to hire mechanics and other artisans and sew
clerical garments for them. An effort that will only add to their many ropes
when the political exercise is over but will not change the need for fairness
and justice that CAN is calling for.
“CAN appreciate that we are in a democracy, no need to do
funny and dubious things just to prove a point because it will in the end
bounce back. BAT team should simply do what is right and stop the drama.”
