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.
