The President of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor has placed a curse on
sponsors of the Boko Haram insurgent group, which he described as a disgrace to
the African continent. Oritsejafor who said this yesterday
while receiving delegates of the Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri Christians Association
of Nigeria led by the national president, Major Gen. Ishaku Dikko (rtd), said
that his desire is for the peace of Nigeria.
“Boko Haram is a disgrace to
Africa as a whole and their activities have affected everybody. My prayer is
that very soon, the sponsors of Boko Haram and anyone who supports and sponsors
their cause would be brought to book so that the law would take its course and
they too would face the judgement of not God alone, but also of men,” he said.
Reacting to claims by the visiting
group of marginalisation of Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri Christians, the CAN
president also expressed his desire to see a Nigeria devoid of any
discrimination along ethnic or religious lines and urged civil rights groups in
Nigeria to champion the cause.
He said, “My desire is for the
peace of Nigeria. I pray for a Nigeria where people are not judged by their
tribe or religion but by d content of their character. I believe that is the
great Nigeria we are looking for. I have hope that this type of Nigeria
will still happen.
“I am troubled when I hear of
civil rights groups and I think they should champion this”.
