Why Shouldn't Can/ayo Oritsejafor Meddle In Partisan Politics??? by Freest(m): 11:02am On Sep 18, 2014
I've read/heard many condemnation about the alledge involvement of CAN president Ayo Oritsejafor in pertisan politics. Now, my question is why wont CAN president involve himself in partisan politics... personally, i think Nigeria has come to a point where you cant seperate Religion from politics especially 2015 General elections. At this point, politics has mingled into religion and even policy making. The emir's involves themselve, the extremists wants a caliphate, Apc wants a Muslim as president or threathen to rain Brimstone's, even in previous elections the sultan of sokoto has always been a key factor in deciding some key political position in this country. Now CAN is meddling, everybody is complaining. Personally i see no reason why CAN shouldn't be involved in partisan politics at this point, cos in Nigeria, that's exactly the point we are. I might not be perfect in my school of thought though so you could share your views...

As a politician in Nigeria, you tend to insult people who opposes your thought/opinions. Orisejafor before meddling into politics wasn't just an ordinary man, he was and still is the President of CAN, Christian Association Of Nigeria.
His affiliation with politics is not good for the position he holds in Nigeria as a religion leader. I never liked his character for once even as I am a christian, I love APC, I want APC in the federal level next year, CAN came out publicly in the guise of saying its president's(Ayo) balls and insulted the party APC and its members synonymously referring to them as a muslim party, is that suppose to be so from a group that is suppose to be bringing/putting Nigeria back in/to the path of "peace, love, unity"
If as a christian leader, he can hate on some christians because of his affiliation with politics, its obvious he can even "kill" CHRISTIANS when he becomes a politician fully.

Ok... Nice point. Now, although he may have gotten some things wrong, or abused the use of some statements, i still believe its nothing from the norm for him to meddle. As i said, even other religious leaders meddle too, though not obviously and they do so with discretion. I saw a thread this morning of catholic bishop(or pope) who meddles in politics. Perhaps being discrete and fair is adviced, but it shouldn't be ruled out that its a wrong thing to do. Inasmuch as politics is a game you can't play without words, spiritual leader and religious leaders past I've had cause to get involved yet fairly and made great decision to some positions, eg the sultan of sokoto who has been a key but silent factor in National politics.

Sheik Ayotallah Bin Oritsejafor should be sacked with immediate effect. He has ridiculed what Christianity stands for and has insulted Christ.

Why Ayo Should Stop Meddling Into Politics:
1. His position as CAN President bestows on him "the spiritual leader of Nigerian Christians".
2. I support the separation of Church and State. I don't want any politician spending 2 Trillion Naira and tell us he was directed by the Holy Spirit.
3. By pestering one Political Party or a Politician and attacking the Opposition, Mr Ayo has lost his Neutrality and significance. Remembers all the Christians in Nigeria are not in one political Party.
4. His Blings, politics of coins and sucking up politicians - makes his less "Christ-like" but more Worldly and in contradiction to most core aspects of Christianity.
5. The President of CAN is a respected Spiritual Father - not a political jobber and tout.
6. Revelation 21:8 was very clear that all "illegal arms smugglers" will have their part in the lake of fire.

Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor (as CAN President) has no reason what so ever to meddle in Partisan Politics.

Read my Post above. If he want to become a politician, he should resign - am sure he can become a Local Government Chairman or even a Governor. He was the type of People Jesus warned against and the type of folks he chased out of the Temple - those that feed fat on God's people and abandon the primary aim of Preaching the Gospel of Christ.

When last did Mr. Ayo preached to someone to repent? He is just busy hiring out his Jet for Arms and Money Smuggling.

While Imams and Emirs e.g Sanusi can meddle in politics, Christians are expected to stay mute and pray to God until boko haram over run their domain, thank God for people like Ayo Oritsejafor ja re.

Christians in Bornu, Jos, Kaduna have almost been decimated yet you won't find the Catholic church taking a stance, when all its congregation are wiped out, lets see how they'd get their lucrative Sunday offerings.

You made some great points and I've come to understand some of your views...
6. Investigation shows he didn't smuggle neither was he a part of it. He only gave his jet on business ish...
5. I made my point when i quoted that at this time in Nigeria politics, i believe it cant be seperated from religion. 'I THINK PERSONALLY THAT NIGERIA POLITICS IS MORE RELIGION INSPIRED' simply with what is happening all over, i think its expedient the Christian body still has a part or a say in politics although not the way it is being handled by can President.
4. This is Nigeria politics, there is bound to be rumours and conspiracy. There is no one that meddles who isn't rubbed off with something just to stain his name. To calm a mad man you must touch him, you must get stained in the process, so that is expected.
3. I support you in that. He should be fair and not party oriented nor have any link or supporting party.

No one asked Oritsejafor not to participate in politics. Of course, he is free to. But not in the capacity as C.A.N president. Not by releasing personal attacks in disguise of a press statement under the umbrella of C.A.N. Oritsejafor should separate his political self from the Church, and not insult the institution... Grab?

I have not heard of any Emir or even the Sultan of Sokoto play partisan politics the way Ayotallah Bin Oritsejafor does. Since when SLS became Emir of Kano,have you heard him meddle in political affairs?

Oristejafor without the church or can is just any other citizen. And my point is, we need the church/can as a body that has a say in Nigeria politics. The point is not Oristejafor but can. The Christian body!!!

Everyone or every Christian has what they where called to do. He cant leave the business of Organizing can to start being an evangelist, after all he has a church where he minister's. But at this dispensation, his purpose is in the national issues of Christian in this country and those issues includes politics, cos politics affects Christians too
