Northern
Christians under the aegis, The Concerned Christians of Nigeria and Northern
Nigerian Christians, have announced their decision to pull out of the
Christian
Association of Nigeria CAN and revert to what they described as the
pre-independence Northern Nigerian Christian Association (NNCA).
The Northern
Christian bodies said recent political happenings and 'corruption' in CAN with
particular reference to what they described as the "controvesial"
emergence of the new CAN President, Rev. Supo Ayokunle(above), forced them to
pull out of the Christian body.
At a joint
press conference in Jos in Plateau state, Rev. Luka Shehu of Concerned
Christians of Nigeria and Hon. Peter Luka of Northern Nigerian Christians
accused the leadership of CAN of acts of corruption as well as neglect of
northern Christians especially in the North-East.
"Considering
our common shared values and peculiarities as Christians from CAN and after
wide consultation among Christian leaders, traditional rulers, youths and
women, we under this auspices from the north have unanimously decided to revert
to the pre-independence Northern Nigeria Christian Association,".
