It is crystal clear from the above that CAN is not to be trusted. CAN disowns its own members who are not ordinary Christians but knowledgeable bishops and pastors. This shows that a caucus within the leadership of CAN has unleashed tyranny of the oligarchy on Christendom in Nigeria,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that several bishops and pastors dared CAN by attending the unveiling of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/07\/23\/umahi-loses-suit-seeking-to-be-recognized-as-apc-senatorial-candidate\/\">APC<\/a> running mate in spite of directives by the umbrella Christian body to the contrary is also symptomatic of the hypocrisy and ineffectiveness of CAN\u2019s noise over the Muslim-Muslim ticket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a toothless bulldog. CAN is long in rhetoric, short in facts. It also proves that serious-minded and knowledgeable Christians who can differentiate between right and wrong no longer follow CAN\u2019s instructions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Akintola also quoted verses from the Bible, and accused CAN of trying to divide the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe attendance of the unveiling of Tinubu\u2019s running mate two days ago and the attempt by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/07\/23\/inec-drops-abachas-son-names-wali-pdp-kano-gubernatorial-candidate\/\">CAN<\/a> to paint the Christian clerics who attended the event as fake is another attempt by Nigeria\u2019s Christian leaders to divide the country, whip up anti-Muslim sentiments and promote anarchy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCAN has shot itself in the foot. It insists that no Christian should vote for Tinubu\u2019s party but it forgot that at least a Christian cleric is the gubernatorial candidate in Benue State. CAN should permanently close this can of worms and never open it again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhereas Paul says, \u2018Do not lie to one another\u2019 (Colossians 3:9-10), Christian leaders find it expedient to pour torrents of lies on their followers. CAN leaders willfully ignore the warning in Proverbs, \u2018\u2026He who breathes out lies will perish\u2019 (Proverbs 19:9). Christian leaders are adept at crying wolf where there is none. They raise false alarm to cause confusion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has slammed the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) over its comments on the clerics who attended the unveiling of the All Progressives Congress (APC) vice-presidential candidate.
