Christian Elders Forum condemns CAN’s visit to Buhari

The National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) has condemned the visit of the Christian Association of Nigeria to the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

In a statement on Monday, NCEF described the visit as evidence that the Christian Association has unholy ties with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The NCEF has had a long-standing dispute with the CAN, which resulted in the Christian association denouncing the forum and severing ties with it last December.

In its statement on Monday, NCEF accused CAN of partisan politics. It said CAN was treading a path that would destroy the future of Christianity in Nigeria.

The statement was published by The Nation newspaper online.

“NCEF wishes to state that the congratulatory visit to Aso Villa by CAN could not be in the interest of Nigerian Christians who daily bear the agony of thousands of their brethren being killed, maimed, displaced and marginalised in the Jihad launched in the northern parts of the country. It is well known the indifference of the Buhari Administration to the murder of Christians all over the country. This indifference has led many, including foreign observers, to conclude that the Buhari Administration is complicit in the genocide that is taking place in Nigeria,” the paper said in its report.
