Insult? Nah bros, perhaps you’ve mistaken me for an Ipob youth.
It’s ok, that won’t dissuade me from schooling you. So, to Awoniyi’s reference, ACF was created to fight for the right of the Northeners and the middle beltans in unison (emphasis on Unity).
This was done in 2003 (wiki) to make the middle Beltans trust the northern majority and this, of course, was a really nice, humane move, kudos to ACF . The screenshot below will open your eyes to see that the middle Beltans don’t see themselves to be northerners.
Again, middle Beltans/North-central ppl are not Northeners and it’s wrong to pick them to represent the interest of the whole north (they will obviously not gain much support/popularity. Away from that, My friend, you’re actually telling me that CAN didn’t see any core Christian Fulani, Kuje, Kanuri, Nupe or even Igala man to make their president since 1988, huh?
CAN has had 7 presidents since inception, having just two northerners in a society that’s divided into two major parts (North and South) is bad enough, ok? Now these two not being originally Northeners by tribe/birth makes things worse and denies them the moral right to preach equity to others. I hope you got my drift now?
Stay blessed.

truthfinder319:
Just one so far and a Yoruba man for that matter. Why don't we have Taraba, Plateau, Benue etc and even the SE where majority are nominal Christians. I say nominal because most Nigerians only claim religious affiliation when it is convenient. Most are wicked and that is why religion and spirituality hard reflect in their character

Agboriotejoye:
Nupe and Igala are also Middle Belters hope you're aware. If Nigeria is divided into only North and South as political urchins claim, then that means Middle belters are neither here nor there according to you

obaaderemi:
Too much words after quickly consulting Wikipedia.

Short reply: AREWA Consultative Forum is a northern group. The word AREWA itself means North, in case you are confused. The north sees itself as monolithic politically. That's why people like Danjuma could be sent to avenge the killing of Sardauna.

Don't try to twist stuff with me, I'm not your regular ipob/Agbado/BBN- engrossed specimen. If the north could consider Sunday Awoniyi northerner enough to lead one of their most important regional bodies, who are you to tell us Onaaiyekan is not northern enough?

Fact-Check: Is it true that CAN has Never Had a Northern Christian as its President Since 1976?

DeleTaller:
CAN is not even Godly formation ...Just an association of some churches who only wish to be a member.. They have turned it to be a political forum and that is why thousands of other churches chose not to be part of them. CAN CAN DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY SO CAN'T TRUST CAN.

Agboriotejoye:
Compton11. A northerner once emerged as CAN President. When will a Southerner become President of NSCIA?

21siyanbola:
Has there ever been a southerner as SULTAN?

Philipponzaghi:
Lol the person that did this fact-checking don kolomental.

So Archbishop John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan, a Yoruba man is now the candidate of the Northern minorities Christians?

If Tinubu pick a Yoruba Christian from the Northern geopolitical zone, will the other Northern Christian tribes in Jos, Benue, Taraba, Southern Kaduna, and other places accept him as one of their own?

CAN marginalizing middle-belt Christians and those in the core North. CAN should be ashamed of themselves.

enumerica:
Is it true that Sultan has never been a southern?

compton11:
u mean a Yoruba man from north central that doesn't even see himself as northerner just like oyedepo?

So if the man was chosen by tinubu as VP candidate,won't dumbass nigga like u and the likes of babachir lawal complain?

Agboriotejoye:
When did you and Oyedepo converse that he told you he does not see himself as a northerner? Are you never tired of taqiyya

Oyedepo started his church in Kaduna

How do you know they will complain? Are you their spokesman or does taqiyya involve abrogating people's mind to yourself?

Morphinne:
Thanks for the correction bro but I intentionally included them for a reason. The Nupes and Igala are not found anywhere else other than their indigenous homelands of Niger and Kogi states respectively. So I’m still solidly on my stance that it would have made a little more sense if such people are called northerners than calling someone whose root can only be traced to Ife /Oyo, a northerner. Even the Yorubas in Dahomey, Togo and Ivory Coast will tell you they are descendants of Oodua.

enumerica:
Is Sultan not the head of Muslims in Nigeria?

Are there Muslims in the south as well?

Why is is that a southern can not be the head of Muslims in Nigeria?

BlazinGlory40:
This is not about ethnicity sir! It’s about the argument that a northern christian has never been CAN president which the article has disproven. Is Kogi in the north? Yes! Is a yoruba christian from kogi a northern christian? Yes! Finito!!!

Seefinish:
is Kogi state in the south west?
Ok. Also publish the names of chairman of National Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs from inception till date and see whether any Yoruba Muslim has ever been the President General
In the year 2000, a Yoruba Muslim was stabbed to death by Hausa Muslim for leading a prayer in a mosque in Jos. He was tagged unclean and unfit. Go to Jos today, Yoruba has their own mosque. Yoruba can never be the President General of National Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs. They should first become the President General of National Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs before they talk about CAN national president

BlazinGlory40:
Is kogi in the north central? Yes or No?

aod1:
Do not portray your ignorance here. They are an association that represent the interests of Christians and Christianity, that makes them a valid pressure group. You most probably didn't do social studies in primary school.

paramakina202:
And no Igbo man have become CAN president since 1976 even we are the only christian majority tribe in Nigeria and we not complaining.

IamAtikulate:
Even in Aba in Abia state, Yorubas have their mosque. The North don't allow them to pray in the central mosque.

Gospel2Day:
You're ignorant of what becoming CAN President entails.
CAN is made up of blocks of Christian Denominations, not just Christians.
Every time it is the turn of a block to present a president for the Christian Body, it is usually the leader of the block that is picked, whether Catholic or Anglican or Baptist or African Churches block or Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN).
The truth is that most if not all churches in the North began in the South with their headquarters in the South.
So, when it's the turn of let's say Baptist to present a president for CAN is it not the general overseer of Baptist that will occupy the position?
Let Northern Churches too have their own block of churches started by a Northern Christian and with massive growth like their counterparts in the south, then you will hear a Danladi Garba as CAN President.
My Dad pastored in the North. I lived there. Most members of churches in the North are Southerners living and working there. There are few core Hausa-Fulani northerners Christians, expect in southern Kaduna, Gombe, Bauchi, etc.
So there's nothing like CAN marginalizing Northern Christians. CAN Presidents are leaders of Blocks of Denominations that make up the Christian Body.
Shalom.
