stormm: Monsignor Christopher Ajala, Administrator of Catholic Diocese of Abeokuta, has highlighted the reason the Catholic Church suspended its activities in the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), national body.


Speaking at a press conference to mark the 15th anniversary of the diocese in Abeokuta yesterday, Ajala declared that the Christian umbrella body was too close to government.

He alleged that the Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor-led CAN had derailed from the objectives of the body, adding that the Catholic Bishops Conference was not comfortable with the development, hence its decision to pull out.

[b]His words: “The Catholic Church took their stand before the purchase or the aircraft was donated to him. But what the Catholic Bishops Conference is complaining about is about the way they are running the national CAN now that is not meeting the objectives and the goals of CAN and the forefathers of CAN.

“CAN is now being run as part of the government and we said no. Because they (government) will dictate to us what to do and they will not take our advice seriously. The Catholic Church decided to withdraw from the activities of CAN at national level; we are still part of the state. We made our stand clear in November, last year, and by December, the man bought a jet. I don’t know how he got it but the president was there on that day the jet was delivered to him.

“So, what we are saying is that our religious leaders should be honest, upright and they should also be the conscience of this nation. If you are bought, the masses of this country are finished. If you can use money to buy our religious leaders, then there is no hope for the common man. That is the Catholic Church’s stand. We are supposed to speak for the people to correct the wrongs in the society and assist every government to know the will of God for them and we still stand by that.”
[/b]
Ajala equally warned that the emergence of a Northern president in the 2015 general election may not be the ultimate solution to the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria.

“You mentioned that if a Northern president is elected that this will stop, I doubt it. It is very clear now that it’s not the northern leaders that are responsible. If an Emir could be attacked, the Sultan also could be attacked. So, it’s not just a northern leader leading us; that’s not the issue. This group has its own objectives and we should be united in fighting them. Northerners and southerners should be united in fighting this evil.”

I'm of the opinion that Oritsejafor has sounded a tad too confrontational over the BH issue but I TOTALLY agree with your assertion. This move by the Catholic church is illinformed and their excuses totally disgraceful. There are better ways to manage divisions within the church and the Church MUST NEVER be subjected to such open ridicule. Once again, THIS IS DISGRACEFUL.

If reverand fada f.uckup its nt an ofence bt wen its a pentecostal its an ofence.

I have not even finished reading....but thank God i'm a catholic

Freezle: i really dont know what to say about them pulling out so i keep shut in this crucial time

CAN has been bastardized by Papa Ayo and his cohorts. I commend the Catholic church for this bold step. #ProudlyAnglican

Pulling out of CAN means they aint christians.

Nope, CAN is nothing outside Nigeria and doesn't make you a christian.

If the CAN president was to be a CATHOLIC i dont think they will pull out. Its a case of jealousy or envy. Obviously since Ayo became the president , the Catholic church has become silent and un noticed. What do they mean by being close to the Government? Is GEJ not a christain? by virtue of which he is a member of CAN. Pastor Ayo is the only Christain that have remain outspoken with the killing of christain in the north while others especially the Catholics keeps mum. Always diunity in Chistainity no wounder different denomination.

Pygru:
Sharapppppppppp!!!
The catholic church is still angry that they were defeated in the last CAN election by the pentecostals.

Usual PDP crap - whenever you tell them the home truth.difficult to differentiate Pentecostal from PDP.

Igwe.:



The highlighted is the reason and they have tried making their stand known but to no avail. is there any other way than the pass of vote of no confidence?

no other way,they pulled out so that orisa je efo led CAN would not rubbish the Catholic church

SHAME
Look at what the church of Jesus Christ has turned to!
I am catholic, i am anglican, i am redeemed.. A BIG SHAME TO YOU ALL.


As much as i agree that that the president of CAN has not been representing christians well, the catholic church should have called for dailogue rather than pulling out. This action just creates more division in the body of christ.

They are not comfortable with Ayo being close to the government or CAN?

Why the persistence mention of private jet in this report? #ISmellEnvy!

Kzinne: Jonathan or Abacha? Who would u pick?

Abacha! PTF and other good reasons.

.....

IYA NGBALI: no other way,they pulled out so that orisa je efo led CAN would not rubbish the Catholic church

we are saying the same thing. pulling out means. . . Vote of No confidence!
