The Archbishop of Jos, Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama, has accused Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor of denting the image of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), over his recent involvement in the recent “arms deal” in South Africa.
Speaking on the BBC Hausa Service in Kaduna yesterday, Archbishop Kaigama, said they had been watching with sadness how Oristejafor had been hanging out with the Presidency for long.
He accused the CAN President of dragging Christianity into the mud.
Kaigama, who doubles as President, Catholic Bishop Conference of Nigeria also faulted the way Pastor Oritsejafor was running the Christian union like a political party.
He called on relevant authorities to investigate the matter objectively and ensure that those found guilty are punished accordingly.
“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 meeting at the national level”, he said.
