REVEALED: How Buhari Plans To 'Install' Northern Ally As CAN President

Ayo Oritsejafor, CAN President

A group Christ Redeemers Union (CRU), has alleged that the Presidency was interested in the election of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), for selfish reasons. The tenure of the present CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor ends in July. The National Director of CRU, Dr. Ebenezer Olusola Abednego whos spoke to reporters in Abuja said: "There is tension in CAN and the action of the Presidency has polarised the association along North–South dichotomy as northern religious leaders are being lobbied to support the plot. "We have it on good authority that any leader being installed by the Presidency in CAN would avoid any virulent criticism of the Buhari government and this has informed its desperation to install a leadership that will not be critical."
Reacting, however, the Special Adviser to the President (Media and Communications) Mr. Femi Adesina said: “It means that some Nigerians don’t know their President. Your President, Muhammadu Buhari, does not interfere in things like that. Adesina added: "If he doesn’t interfere in state elections where his party, APC, is having candidates, how will he interfere in CAN elections?"
