CAN backs Osinbajo on alleged N90bn controversy

National President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Rev Supo Ayokunle on Friday declared Vice President Yemi Osinbajo innocent of the alleged N90 billion allegation against him.

He spoke during a visit to the Vice President in Abuja.

Ayokunle, who spoke with reporters at the Christian Ecumenical Centre, where he is meeting with top members of CAN said, Osinbajo is innocent.

While backing Osinbajo, the CAN boss vowed to mobilise Christians against any act to destroy the works of the Vice President.

Frank, a former deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress, had alleged that the Vice-President collected N90bn from the Federal Inland Revenue Service to fund the 2019 presidential election.

In response, the FIRS dismissed the allegation.

The Vice-President also said he was ready to waive his right to immunity from investigation in order to clear his name of certain accusations.

But addressing journalists after visiting the vice-president at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Friday, CAN National President, Rev Supo Ayokunle, explained that they visited Osinbajo to pray for him.

Ayokunle, who spoke with newsmen at the Christian Ecumenical Centre, where he held a meeting with top members of CAN, said Osinbajo was innocent of the allegations, describing them as baseless.

He stated that the church and all Nigerians were proud of the VP and would continue to pray for him.
