CAN Is Now Another Opposition Party In Nigeria – Femi Adesina

Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is now extremely political, according to President Buhari’s spokesperson, Femi Adesina.

Femi believes the religious group now talks like an opposition political party in Nigeria, rather than a religious body.

According to him, CAN is now becoming too reckless with its public utterances and it has to stop.

He added that the insecurity in Nigeria has nothing to do with religion because it is pure evil from the pit of hell.

His words, “If any purging is to be done, is it not by those making allegations? The allegations lasted for many years, but truth eventually overtook them,”

“If CAN would then still dwell on the discredited accusations, it must be the one to purge itself, as millions of Nigerians, including Christians, have already done. The insecurity in the country is not about any religion. It is pure evil, from the pit of hell.

“Let’s consider this part of the press statement. Maintenance of security is the least responsibility of any government that knows its worth. Not news. The constitution says so. But don’t you glean a hint of bile and bias in ‘that knows its worth?’ Oh, CAN, this is not the mind of our Master.

“He gives praises when due. Security is number one on the priorities of the Buhari administration. It has pumped time and humongous resources into it, and while the job is not fully done, we are not in the same position we were before the administration came.”

“CAN says kidnappings and killings are shameful to a government that boasts that it has conquered insurgency. Boasts. So that is all that matters to CAN, as if it was an opposition political party? Boasts. No. This would not augur for unity and cohesion in a country.

“We are not asking the Christian body to be in bed with government, that would not help anybody, but the organization has been sounding too long like a political party.”
