ABUJA – The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Tuesday, called for the arrest of the former Head of State and Presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, (CPC), General (rtd) Muhammadu Buhari, following his frequent provocative statements.

The President of CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, in a statement signed by his Media Assistant, Kenny Ashaka, and made available to Vanguard in Abuja, said that Buhari, having in various occasions justified the action of the sect…, therefore, he stands a big security threat to the country’s corporate existence.

Oritsejafor maintained that it was so unfortunate that when every Nigerian was praying for successful military onslaught on the insurgence, Buhari rather than sharing the same feeling with well-meaning Nigerians was busy indulging in careless statements, without regards for victims of the sect’s violence who were mostly Christians.

The statement read, “The retired General was widely reported by several national newspaper Correspondents, who monitored the Liberty Radio programme “Guest of the week”, to have questioned the “special treatment” given to the Niger-Delta militants by the Federal Government while the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses destroyed by government.

Seems like the president of CAN is a PDP card carrying member or is he the new PDP information minister

Kids EVERYWHERE!!!
@TOPIC: Why is CAN so much involved in politics these days? I just don't like how they seem to be meddling in the politics of Nigeria as if CAN is a political party. When last did CAN try to see to the spiritual advancement of her millions of members?
Is MEND a christian militia that CAN should be rooting for?
Don't get me wrong, am not against CAN popping up a few times in political issues but their involvement seem to be on the extreme these days. Is Buhari's statement a threat to the christian faith? We have the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary; CAN should let them tackle the problem(s).

Buhari wanted federal government to pay boko haram for killing innocent Nigerians

Buhari is one of the major problem of this country.

OBSESSION!!!
Quit sniffing my nyash dude.

This is one area I dislike my President, he is too gentlemanly with some set of disgruntled elements the more reason many ones abuse that long-suffering attitude from him! How I wish he can be a bit hard with people like this noisemaker!

Oritsejafor should register CAN as a political party abeg.

Dudu_Negro: Oritsejafor should register CAN as a political party abeg.

lol. It's merged with PDP for a very long time.

Prof Corruption:

lol. It's merged with PDP for a very long time.

You forgot to add PDP ,INEC,police,IMF Merger

Honestly,Buhari must be sick to have made such statement.

confusion247: Buhari wanted federal government to pay boko haram for killing innocent Nigerians

and it's all confusion247 in the North just like ur user name because dem boko boys reject the amnesty. Guess they wanted the oda type of amnesty.. SOE.

I wonder why a man like buhari is allowed to roam free after inciting violence and hatred. The man should be arrested, tried as a traitor and then hanged. Simple!

teemlo: Seems like the president of CAN is a PDP card carrying member or is he the new PDP information minister

Na wah for you ooooo! Don't you know that Pastor(Rogue) Ayo has turned CAN into the religious wing of PDP?

This Oritsejafor is a misfit! He has so soon politicised his position. Atleast I can now see why revered group like the "Catholics" had to part ways with the Oritsejafor "Christian Association of Nigeria Political Party (CANPP)". I wonder if he has suddenly become the NSA or DG SSS or DG NIA! When will this idiot face his task and stop meddling in the nation's'political trend? Btw what Buhari said and what Dokubo recently said which one is more threatening as a nation? It is sad that i share same country with this "she-goat" called Oritsejafor!!!

His statement is unbecoming of a religious leader.

CAN presido de complain cos militants were targeted by buharis comments...I think say Niger delta militants are very religious ppl...if Can had accused Gen Buhari of inciting religious violence/hate then I would hav said good, they are withing there rights but wen CAN is complaining about Niger Delta militants then am sure its PDP CAN talking

donigspain: OBSESSION!!!
Quit sniffing my nyash dude.

I've never had time for donigians; i've made my point clear ;-)

Arresting people is an action reserved for when those people have broken the law or are reasonably thought to have, even if Buhari may have been wrong, if criticizing the government(because that is all he did) is wrong now they should let us know. The CAN man is very stupid, I imagine he was one of those calling for Amaechi to be arrested.
