Some quotes from your link

“can is being dragged into partisan politics thereby compromising the ability to play its true role as conscience of the nation and the voice of the voiceless,” the bishops said.

But can blamed the catholic’s action on the loss of the Presidency of can to Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor. The Public Relations Officer of the 19 Northern States of can and Abuja, Mr. Sunny
Oibe, in an interview with journalists on Wednesday in Abuja also accused Catholics of arrogance.

Stop saying nonsense pls, after searching Google, you still couldn't found catholic pulls out because of arms deal. By the way, I don't care whether about your political factions in can. All I know is , You're all Christian.

All is not well within the umbrella body for Christians in Nigeria, the Christian Association of Nigeria (can), as the catholic Church has withdrawn its membership of the body.
The Diocesan Administrator of the catholic Diocese of Abeokuta, Monsignor Christopher Ajala, stated this at a news conference organised as part of the activities to mark the 15th anniversary of the creation of the diocese.
Monsignor Ajala stated that the catholic church suspended its activities in can because it 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.
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” he declared.

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.

Ajala declared that the Christian umbrella body was

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.”
