The Christian Association of Nigeria has denied the
allegation that N7bn was offered as bribe by the Presidency to campaign for
President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election.
The General Secretary of CAN, Dr. Musa Asake, in a statement
issued on Friday in Abuja, the association said the All Progressives Congress
presidential candidate, Gen.Muhammadu Buhari (retd), had fallen into wrong
hands, “because his endorsement for the March 28 general election by Northern
Christian Leaders Eagle-Eye Forum led by one Aminchi Habu was fraudulent.”
The statement read, “We are therefore calling on security
agencies to investigate the activities of the Voice of Northern Christian
Movement and Musa Dikwa himself to unravel the N7bn mystery which is intended
by their sponsors to throw the country into serious crisis.
“For the avoidance of doubt, CAN has no knowledge of any
N7bn transaction as alleged by Musa Dikwa who claims to be the Executive
Director of a non-existent group, Voice of Northern Christian Movement.
“CAN is not a political party, let alone getting involved
in partisan politics. Christians who are members of CAN belong to different
political parties. It is therefore surprising to hear that CAN is campaigning
for one candidate.
“Revered men of God including the CAN President, Pastors
Ayo Oritsejafor; Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel and Pastor Bosun
Emmanuel (Secretary-General of National Christian Elders Forum) are too upright
to be linked with any such deal.”
