The leadership of the Catholic
Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria has accused the President of Christian
Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, of smearing the image of
the body, saying it was wrong for his private plane to be associated
with the controversial arms deal in South Africa.The Bishops said
military aircrafts could have been conveniently used for that purpose.
Speaking on the BBC Hausa service monitored by The Nation Correspondent
Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama, Archbishop of Jos and President of CBCN,
said they had been watching with
“sadness how Oristejafor had been hobnobbing with the Presidency for
long,” and accused the CAN chief of dragging Christianity into the
mud.He said..“It is not proper, the guilty must be punished. It is not acceptable for a Christian leader to be seen always with the President. We in the Catholic have always picked holes in Oritsejafor’s style of leadership in CAN and we even wanted to stop attending CAN meetings at the national level,
