The Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN) has again defended its President, Pastor Ayo Orirsejafor and
questioned if the founder of Household of God, Pastor Chris Okotie, is a Christian.
Pastor Ayo has been under attack for the alleged involvement of his aircraft in the controversial $9.3m smuggled
into South Africa by two Nigerians and an Israeli.
Recently, Chris Okotie via his
FaceBook Page said:
“This is without prejudice to the
on-going investigation on the matter. Denials of his culpability by the Federal
Government, CAN officials and his own recent defense, does nothing to reduce
the moral burden this whole saga places on his shoulders. As the titular leader
of Christians in Nigeria, there’s now a serious crisis of confidence on his
leadership and he ought to respond to it by resigning from his exalted
position.”
In reaction to Okotie’s post, The
Director of National Issues in CAN, Mr. Sunny Oibe, said:
“Is Chris Okotie a Christian? How
many wives has he? He should go and sort out himself. Even the government has
exonerated Pastor Ayo of all the allegations. So, who is Okotie? Well, it is
laughable if Chris Okotie should demand that Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor should
resign as President of CAN.
“Chris Okotie should remove the log
in his eyes before he begins to see a peck in somebody’s eyes. Pastor Ayo had a
soaring integrity before he was elected the President of CAN. Who elected Chris
Okotie to become the spokesperson of Christians in Nigeria?
“CAN will not like to join issues
with Okotie because doing that will amount to making him popular. He is looking
for popularity which he doesn’t have through Pastor Ayo and he is not going to
get it.”
Drama in CAN... What do you say????
