The Federal Government will next year begin a programme, which among other objectives, is aimed at developing bio-fuel as an alternative to crude oil.

The Minister of Environment, Mrs. Amina Mohammed, who disclosed this in an interview in Abuja, said that the Jatropha Value Chain Project, would not only provide an alternative to fossil fuel but also create jobs.

Mohammed stated this just as the Minister of State for Environment, Mr. Ibrahim Jibril, during a press briefing in Abuja on Friday, said Jatropha had been identified by the Nigerian Bio-fuel Policy and Incentives in 2007 as the most preferred non-food plant for bio-fuel feedstock for production in the country.

On her part, Mohammed allayed fears that the project would not be sustainable, saying government would involve communities, youths and traditional rulers.

“Funding will come if we can show the revenue stream. Talking about the Green Bond, government will have to put fund for it. We intend to do it in the 2017 budget,” she added.

According to her, the Federal Government would create value chain for the plant over the next five years because the programme was part of efforts to diversify the economy.

Explaining the ministry’s programme on the plant, Jibril said the Jatropha programme would reduce dependence on fossil fuel and ensure clean environment.

He stated, “This policy as well as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation’s Renewable Energy Division was set out to link the agriculture and energy sectors and promote job creation, technology acquisition and also attract foreign investment in the bio-fuels industry.

“The Jatropha value chain project is being proposed as a means not only for the successful production of a viable green alternative to fossil fuels, but also for providing an additional means of livelihood for local communities that are losing ground water and vegetation every year due to desertification.”

Unconfirmed reports reaching Nairametrics may have confirmed speculations that the flexible exchange rate market introduced by the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, is being manipulated.

According to an email exchange purportedly exchanged between members of the Banker’s committee, obtained by Nairametrics, some commercial banks appear to be conniving to influence the currency market. Here are a few excerpts of the exchanges;


Key outcomes for us to note as follows

.CBN has directed that Minimum tenor of currency forwards be 60 days. This comes on the back of banks doing 2, 4 and 7 day forwards outside of the official rate in order to fill orders at a higher rate.

.If the CBN Funds are used for settling LC’s then for every LC that is settled a new one of 50% of that value must be written. Sources tell Nairametrics that this is simply a continuation of current in-force rules.

.Banks will not be able to sell to BDC’s going forward as double cheques are being written.

.Same goes for buying currency from corporate…double cheques are being written to make up value (Olam specifically mentioned here).

.Banks may not bid for Dollars at a rate exceeding N315 for amounts less than $1.5 m, but on large amounts banks should call him (Emefilele) to agree upon a different rate should they wish to trade higher (basically to manipulate the official rate at a level Emefiele decides).

.Any banks lacking clarity on exactly what the regs around the currency are should call Herbert (possibly of Access Bank) for clarity.



Whilst the email exchange is yet to be confirmed independently, our source reveal it was obtained from someone with access to email exchanges within the bankers committee. The email exchange also aligns with rife speculations about a rate ceiling imposed on bidders by the Apex bank.

Controversies have currently bedeviled the recent flexible exchange rate market introduced by the Central Bank in June 2016. First the exchange rate remained fixed at around N280 to the $1 for almost a month even though the black market, which has continued to be referenced by traders, traded at around N335 to $1.

It took several analysts accusations that the newly floated currency is being rigged for the CBN to eventually allow the market to determined prices that now saw the exchange rate depreciate to about N315.


In contrast, the parallel market has depreciated to multiple lows reaching a new low of N470/$1.

One of the major reasons why the exchange rate disparity between the parallel market and the interbank rate is liquidity.

With commercial banks ‘refusing’ (as the BDC’s claim) to sell forex remittances to BDC’s, a lack of liquidity at the retail end of the market has sent rates up on the streets of major cities in Nigeria.

Another reason of course is a clear suspicion of the manipulation of the interbank market, in a bid to control the exchange rate, thus discouraging corporates from selling their forex in the official market.

They then turn to a virtual black market to sell their forex benchmarking their price at the black market rate which many believe is more market driven.

The email above, if confirmed to be true, further validates rumours that the current interbank market which is said to be floating, is actually being controlled by a group of commercial banks with clear instructions from the CBN.

As usual, we do not expect authorities to investigate or confirm suspicions that the market is being manipulated by some people with vested interest.

Vested interests are raking in billions in arbitrage from this market and so it favors them to continue to widen the disparity. They present a deceptive view of an interbank market where rates are stable to pacify a President with socialist inclinations about markets, while allowing the economy burn. The exchange rate at the black market is on its way to hit N500 in the next couple of weeks as the handlers of our economy continue with a rogue handling of the forex market.

The Ogun State Government, on Wednesday, signed an agreement with a consortium of four private companies to build the second largest refinery in sub-Saharan Africa and the largest petroleum product depot in Nigeria.

The Chairman, Petrolex Group, Mr. Segun Adebutu who led other partners in the consortium to the office of the Ogun State Governor for the agreement signing ceremony, said the two projects, when completed would generate not less than 2000 employment opportunities for the citizens and greatly increase the socio-economic condition of the state.

He said the refinery is situated in the Odogbolu Local Government Area of the state.

Speaking during the ceremony, Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, assured the consortium of his administration’s commitment to fully support the project.

“We have the political will and we would support the project fully. You can be rest assured that I will get involved, when necessary, in order to ensure that the project is a success,” the governor said.

Governor Amosun added that, “any government that will get it right indeed must be private sector driven.”

In this respect, Governor Amosun said Ogun State does not just want any investment but that which will truly support the dreams, goals and economic drive of the present administration in the state.

The Governor disclosed that his administration will always support people of like minds who will in turn bring positive economic development to the state.

The firms involved in the consortium include Petrolex Oil and Gas, Hyundai, Ajayi Legal Partner and Wema Bank PLC.

RECENTLY, Patrick Falola, Commander of the Armed Forces Hospital in Kano and former Director of the 68 Military Reference Hospital, Yaba, Lagos, was demoted from the rank of Major General to Brigadier General by a Special Court Martial for alleged fraudulent misapplication of the hospital’s property.

Major General Falola was first arraigned in May 2016 on a two-count charge before a court martial presided over by Air Vice Martial James Gbum for admitting international students from Espan Formation University, Cotonou, in Benin Republic between July and September, 2015, for training at a military hospital.

The court martial discharged and acquitted him on charges of conduct prejudicial to the service but convicted him for using the Nigerian Army’s property to train students from the Republic of Benin without following the necessary procedure.

While AVM Gbum, who presided over the court martial, declared that the court’s decision was based on Sections 103 and 66 of the Armed Forces Act Cap A 20 Laws of the Federation 2004, Lieutenant Colonel Ukpe Ukpe, the prosecuting officer, claimed that the judgment was a balanced one as the court was very liberal in meting out punishment.

However, the defence counsel, retired Wing Commander Enokela Onyilo-Uloko, insisted that the conviction had no legal backing and was an attempt to tarnish the clean record of his client. He stated further that there was no law stating that senior officers must take permission from the higher authorities before allowing such training.

He consequently declared the intention to appeal the judgement.
Considering that the judgement of the Army court martial is subject to confirmation by the Nigerian Army Council, we call on the council to disconfirm the decision.

The punishment is uncalled for, and entirely meaningless given the circumstances. It seems at best a disincentive to hard work and public service.

During the proceedings, the Army presented the service record of the General to the Special Court Martial. He was described as an officer of impeccable character noted for his intelligence, honesty, transparency, dedication to work and enthusiasm for military service. It was also noted that he had always been an outstanding medical officer of the military.

The General, as senior consultant ophthalmologist, was reported to have served Nigeria as the chairman of the Ophthalmological Society of Nigeria (OSN), Lagos State chapter.

It was noted in the records that he significantly upgraded all the hospitals where he served. For example, he refurbished and set up the Intensive Care Unit and Neonatal Unit at both Greek and Yaba hospitals. He transformed the Bonny Camp (Lagos) Eye Centre to a world-class status; he introduced laser equipment worth millions of naira at no cost to the Nigeria Army, but by sheer dedication to work and resourcefulness.

He is reputed to be an exemplary military administrator, clinician and surgeon. He was singly commended for his prompt and professional handling of the cholera outbreak in Jos, Plateau State, and his proactive initiatives to prevent Lassa fever and Ebola outbreaks in the barracks. Over the years, no charge of breach of military discipline was brought against him.

As many senior military officers have pointed out, Falola’s predecessors who had similarly admitted students for training without any authorisation from the Army headquarters were not prosecuted because no such requirement for permission is contained in the extant military laws.
Again, the distinguished officer has not been accused of benefiting in any way from the said admission of foreign students for training at a military hospital.

How then could he have been guilty of fraudulent misapplication of the hospital’s property? The trial conveys the impression that he is merely a victim of circumstances being punished for some undisclosed offences.

We call on the Army Council to consider General Falola’s outstanding service performance in reviewing the decision of the Special Court Martial.
Indeed, upholding the decision would send a wrong signal to conscientious and diligent officers that the Army is an organisation that does not give due regard to meritorious service and outstanding performance in case of trouble.

Indeed, we are of the view that the allegations could have been addressed administratively without the full drama of a court martial given the nature and consequences of the issues involved.

Lagos- Against an earlier statement of possible shut-down of the country’s power supply over cash liquidity and gas supply difficulties in the power sector, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has faulted such claims, describing it as “inflammatory and insensitive to Nigeria’s national security.”

The minister made this known at the opening ceremony of the Power Nigeria Agenda 2016, yesterday in Lagos.
It will be recalled that the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Egbin Power Plc, Mr. Dallas Peavey Jr, had warned that the country’s electricity woes may worsen in the coming weeks as liquidity and gas supply issues continue to threaten operations of Egbin, noting that owners of the plant might be forced to consider shutting it down if the challenges remain unresolved.

Dispelling the remarks, Fashola said: “The statement is inflammatory and it was insensitive to our national security.”
Speaking further, he said: “If the commentator was not introspective, he would mention that the debts were not incurred by this administration, and that debt and settlement are continuous events in the power value chain, bills are served, claims are made, they are verified and settled.

“Also, he would have spoken about approval and payment that have been made this year. It is a continuous verification for claims and settlement of debts.

“All of the debts that are owed and legitimately contracted, verified will be paid. There is a clear policy decision in that area, but it requires all operators, those who claim and those who have to pay to operate in a transparent manner. We will not pay debt that are not properly verified and accounted for.”

He, however, refuted claims that the grid is very fragile and cannot support 1300MW not to talk of 5000MW.
He said the grid currently has the capacity to support 5300MW which is expanding on a daily basis.

“We are synchronizing with the Generating Companies and the Distribution Companies (DISCOs) in order to ensure the service end that connects both, which is the Transmission Company of Nigeria is able to respond adequately on demand. These are some of the serious issues that we take up at our monthly power meeting. Our next meeting will hold in Sokoto,” the Minister said.

President Muhammad Buhari has received concrete evidence that his Chief of Staff (CoS), Abba Kyari, took N500m from operators of MTN to help the telecommunications giant mitigate the fine imposed on it by the federal government, SaharaReporters has learned.

Sources say the evidence was presented to President Buhari several times including during the Sallah holiday.

The mind-boggling revelation is the latest in the mounting allegations of corruption involving members of the top echelon of President Buhari’s administration.

Confronted with the evidence, the CoS reportedly claimed he was helping the All Progressives Congress party raise funds for the gubernatorial election in Bayelsa State, to which the president is said to have asked him if he was the party chairman, but did not relieve him of his post.

SaharaReporters has previously revealed several corrupt actions of the Chief of Staff. They include taking money from Jide Omokore, a shady businessman who was massively involved in corruption in the oil sector in the preceding administration.

Following acceptance of the money, Mr. Kyari reportedly took Mr. Omokore twice to meet President Buhari to enable the businessman to make a promise to refund some of the funds. A source told Saharareporters Omokore promised to refund N500 million

When Omokore was eventually arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the CoS reportedly told President Buhari that it was the EFCC chair, Ibrahim Magu, who had bungled progress concerning Omokore. SaharaReporters has also previously reported that Mr. Kyari wants to remove Magu from the anti-graft body in favor of a candidate who is more amenable to his wishes.

On his part, Omokore is also known to have bribed the judge handling the case with $2million. He was released on bail without leaving the court premises.

Other members of President Buhari’s inner circle have been exposed as engaging in serious cases of corruption but the President has not acted on their cases, either. In some instances, they reportedly got members of President Buhari’s office to absolve them of any “wrongdoing”.

Among others:

The Chief of Army Staff, Yusuf Buratai, was found to have used Nigerian Army funds to purchase homes in Dubai;
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Abdulrahman Dambazau, bought homes for millions of dollars in Boston in the United States;
Several other aides and officials within the government have been exposed for involvement in illegal employments and forgery of age and certificates.

As in the case of Mr. Kyari, they have so far all been shielded by President Buhari. Speaking earlier this to journalists in Daura, his hometown, the president said his “anti-corruption war” was being implemented on the basis of justice and fairness.

The embattled self -confessed spokesman of the Boko Haram Islamic sect, Ali Sanda Umar Konduga (a.ka Al-Zawahiri) who was sentenced to three years imprisonment without option of fine and released last week, was rearrested at the Maiduguri residence of Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume by some good Samaritans and Policemen attached to Government Reservation Area (GRA) Police Station.

Sources said, Konduga was identified, beaten and rearrested on Wednesday after he sneaked into the Senator’s house the third times beginning from Sunday 11th September 2016.

Konduga according to family source, “kept on coming to the Senator’s house purposely to apologize to the immediate family for indicting Ndume, who was charged for providing Konduga with politicians’ phone numbers and not disclosing information to authorities under Nigeria’s Terrorism Prevention Act”.

Konduga was arraigned before Abuja High Court along with Senator Ali Ndume (Borno South), whom he (Konduga) said was sponsoring him to undertake Boko Haram activities.

Ndume had pleaded not guilty to charges of passing classified information to an unauthorised person and of criminal intimidation.

Investigation by our Correspondent revealed that, the said Konduga, whose Father and family had earlier claimed is mentally unstable, sneaked into Ndume’s house a day to Sallah at about 8pm last Sunday.

Konduga insisted that he wanted to see and apologize to the Senator who was out of the country and still in Saudi Arabia for the 2016 Hajj exercise.

Sources said, “When the Maigadi (Gate man) accosted Konduga that the senator was not in the house, requested to see Justice Aisha Ndume, one of the senator’s wife, but was asked to come back the following day.

“As luck will have it, Konduga revisited the house on Wednesday at exactly 4pm, where he was identified by some Ndume’s close associates, who accompanied the senator to the Federal High Court, Abuja then.

“Policemen in charge of G.R.A police station were alerted and swooped into action leading to the rearrest of Konduga. He is now in police custody, while Senator Ndume have been informed” the sources said.

Already investigation further revealed that Konduga has been taken to Federal Neuro-psychiatric Hospital, Maiduguri at about 10am on Friday (Today), to ascertain his mental health, after which, if prove mentally okay, he will be handed over to appropriate authorities by the police.

When our Correspondent visited the said Neuro Psychiatric Hospital, the Prosecutor who accompanied Konduga (Names Withheld) declined comments, even as he referred our reporter to the Divisional Police Officer (DPO).

However, Senator Ndume in a telephone interview with our Correspondent confirmed the rearrest of Konduga in his residence in Maiduguri by the Police, insisting that he did not have further details, as he is presently out of the country for 2016 Hajj.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has uncovered another $5million (N1.040billion) cash allegedly given to Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose by former Minister of State for Defence Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, it was learnt yesterday.

The cash is part of the N4.7billion slush funds traced to Obanikoro’s company, Sylva McNamara.

Out of the $5 million, EFCC’s investigation has shown how Fayose allegedly gave his associate , Abiodun Agbele, over $1million as part-payment for the acquisition of four chalets in Lagos.

The bubble burst when Agbele took the $1million to a Bureau De Change (BDC) operator, Ahmed Uba, who transferred the cash to Still Earth as part-payment for the properties.

Also, the EFCC has grilled Ekiti State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General Kolapo Kolade, who admitted that he facilitated the agreements for the four properties.

Kolade, who may face EFCC interrogators on August 30, it was gathered, said he was paid N1million for the job.

According to a top source in the commission, the ongoing investigation of Fayose for allegedly receiving N1.219billion from Obanikoro, also revealed that he got another $5m cash (N1.040billion) from the ex-minister.

“Our investigation so far has shown that out of the $5m Fayose gave Agbele $1million which Agbele gave to a BDC operator who transferred the money to Still Earth as part-payment for the properties bought.

“Going through the accounts of Fayose, you could see a lot of transactions. Kolapo Kolade , now a commissioner in Fayose’s cabinet was the one who arranged the agreement between Still Earth and J.J. Technical.

“We have interrogated the owner of the BDC Jamil Uba, who told us how he asked his staff to attend to Agbele. Jamil said ‘I instructed Abba Ahmed Uba to transfer the money into Still Earth accounts because Abba Ahmed Uba was working under me that day when Agbele sold $1million at the rate of N208, which is equivalent of N208million.”

The EFCC team has also discovered that one of the companies used for the purchase of the properties , J.J. Technicals Limited, was not in the picture until the owners were invited for questioning.

The source said: “Agbele got Maroun Mechleb, a Lebanese and contractor to the Ekiti State Government to provide a company, J.J. Technicals Services Limited whose name was used in making the agreement for the sale of the four chalets in Victoria Island by Still Earth.

“J.J. Technicals Services belongs to Maroun Mechleb’s junior brother, Joseph and his brother-in-law. They gave him the company’s document to help them prospect for contracts in Ekiti State. He gave the company’s document to Agbele without their knowledge.”

The two Lebanese, Joseph and Maroum Mechleb have told the EFCC that they had nothing to do with the purchase of the four properties in Lagos.

The source quoted Maroun Mechleb as saying: “I also saw an agreement with my signature between Noga Hotels Nigeria Limited for the sum of $1.1m. I am not aware of the agreement even though my signature appears on it. The agreement is between Noga Hotels Nigeria Limited and J.J . Technical Services. My brother who owns the company does not know anything about the whole agreement with Noga Hotels Nigeria Limited.”

According to the source, Joseph Mechleb said: “I did not know that the company was used to buy any property. I don’t know of any property(ies) that J.J. Technical Services bought. I hear of Fayose but have never heard of Biodun Agbele.

“I don’t know of any company with the name, Still Earth. I got to know of a property that was bought with J.J. Technical Services few weeks ago when our manager told me that the EFCC has invited me to Abuja. I am not a signatory to the said account.

“I don’t know the said property. I don’t know where it is located . I have never heard of any property purchased with J.J. Technicals before.

“I have not done any project in Ekiti State before. I only go visiting and sight-seeing. I visit our site in Imore, Ikere Road. I don’t visit Fayose in Ekiti. It is Maroun that works in Ekiti

State.”

Kolade, who was grilled by EFCC, it was learnt, said he knew of the agreements for the four chalets.

He said: “Sometimes in early January 2015, Abiodun Agbele approached me that he and his friend wanted to buy a property in Lagos and gave me the particulars of the property situated on Victoria Island and that I should keep them and conduct a search.

“I did and advised him that the property is free from encumbrance. About a month later or there about, he came to me and said the property had been paid for and that I should help them go to Lagos to collect the agreements from a company called Still Earth. I went to Lagos and collected the agreements. It was in respect of two chalets; the agreements were between Still Earth and J.J. Technicals.

“The two agreements I signed for them at Still Earth, I brought them to Ado -Ekiti. Upon looking through the documents given to me at Still Earth, the agreement with which Still Earth bought the property from a company called Noga Hotels was also given to me.

“I noticed that Still Earth Company newly bought the property from Noga and had not perfected their papers.

“The staff of Still Earth said they could get Noga Hotels to make an agreement directly with my clients, J.J. Technicals so that they don’t do double consent but the money she asked for was ridiculously high and going through the document, I saw that the lawyer that acted for Noga Hotels is one Adekunle Ojo, who incidentally is my friend.

“I told my client, who asked me to discuss with Lawyer Adekunle Ojo if he could work on the agreement between Noga Hotels and J.J. Technicals Services. I called Mr. Adekunle Ojo, he agreed , he said his chambers will collect N500,000 if he did that. I told my client, they said he should go ahead.

“The money was given to me and I paid it into his account. When the documents were ready, he handed them over to me and I handed them over to Agbele and one white man who both came to me to collect same.

“The white man signed and they took the agreement away and gave me N500,000 as my fees. That is all I know about the first two chalets.

“After about two months or thereabout, Agbele called me that he has given my number to the Still Earth people and they will call me. Later that day, someone from Still Earth called me that I should send my e-mail address. I did and the person sent to me an offer letter in respect of yet another two chalets in the same estate on Victoria Island.

“I told Agbele and he said I should accept the offer. I did by replying the e-mail. I didn’t hear anything again until one day Agbele called me again that I should help him collect documents from Still Earth Limited in respect of the two chalets.

“This second set of agreements was made between a company called Signachorr and J.J. Technicals Services. I took them to Ado-Ekiti and handed them over to Agbele. The white man did not come with him the second time.

“Agbele said I should help him approach Mr. Adekunle Ojo to help him write an agreement between Noga Hotels and J.J. Technical Services. I did and Mr. Adekunle Ojo sent the second set of agreement . I was also given N500,000 for him which I also paid into his account. I was also paid N500,00 for my efforts.

“When I approached Mr. Adekunle Ojo to help write an agreement between Noga Hotels and J.J. Technicals in respect of the two sets of agreement, he demanded for copies of the agreement between Still Earth and J.J. Technicals as a confirmation that J.J . Technicals actually bought from Still Earth.

“I was given a copy of the agreement to give him and I actually gave him. He also called to inform me that he also confirmed from Still Earth that J.J. Technical actually bought the properties before agreeing to prepare the agreements. I don’t know who J.J. Technical is.”

With about two weeks to the inauguration of the Christian Association of Nigeria President-elect, Dr. Samson Ayokunle, a group under the aegis of Christ Redeemers Union, on Monday, alleged that two ex-Presidents of CAN were hatching a plot to frustrate the inauguration.

The CRU alleged that a former President of CAN and the Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, had invited the outgoing President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, and some other Christians to a meeting on Thursday, July 7.

It said the meeting would take place, at the residence of another former President of CAN and the ex-Primate of the Methodist Church, Sunday Mbang, in Akwa Ibom State.

The CRU, in a statement by its National Director, Dr. Ebenezer Abednego, described the meeting as illegal.

While Ayokunle, President of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, contested the CAN presidential election under the platform of the Christian Council of Nigeria, his Vice-President-Elect, Prof. Joseph Otubu, of the Motailatu Church Cherubim and Seraphim Movement, contested under the umbrella of the Organisation of African Instituted Churches.

The inauguration of the new leadership of CAN will hold on July 20 during the forthcoming General Assembly of CAN in Abuja to be presided over by Oritsejafor, who is the Founder of the Word of Life Bible Church.

When contacted on Monday, Onaiyekan confirmed the meeting but stated that it was not opened to the public.

“Who told you about the meeting? I know you are a journalist, but just know that the meeting is not supposed to be given any publicity,” he added.

When asked for his reaction to the allegation that it was to scuttle the inauguration of Ayokunle, the cleric said he had nothing else to say.

“I said I’m not ready to comment on that meeting. I have no information about whatever is happening now in CAN. You know that if there is anything I wish to share with you, I will not hesitate. By God’s grace, when it is time, I will speak with you,” he stated.

In his reaction, Mbang, who is a former President of CAN, in whose house the meeting will allegedly hold, angrily distanced his group from the CAN elections and other allied matters.

Mbang added, “I don’t understand what you are saying. The issue you are raising has nothing to do with us; I repeat, it has nothing to do with us.

“The election, suspension and all others, we are not concerned. We are not a party to it. Have you heard me? Please ask me no further question. Full stop! Thank you.”

Efforts by our correspondent to confirm from Oritsejafor if he had any knowledge of the meeting were not successful and his telephone lines indicated that they were switched off.

While describing the purported meeting in Mbang’s house as illegal, Abednego vowed that the CRU would resist any plot to scuttle the inauguration of Ayokunle, which he alleged was to “create confusion in the body of Christ.”

He said, “We have been informed that the meeting was at the instance of Cardinal Onaiyekan, who is from the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria bloc. The aim of the meeting is to frustrate the inauguration of the newly-elected President of CAN, Ayokunle, and Prof. Joseph Otubu.

“This same ex-President of CAN had earlier expressed his disdain and had sworn that no member of the Pentecostals and white garment churches would be President of CAN.

“For us in CRU, the meeting is laced with serious mischief and we see it as a plot and booby trap to cause crisis in the body of Christ and disallow the incumbent from finishing his tenure successfully.
