Oritsejafor: Respond To El-Rufai’s Accusations, Eyieyien Urges Christians

[Shola Sholaz]

A senatorial aspirant for Edo Central, Mr. Egheomhanre Eyieyien, yesterday, urged Christians to respond to recent outbursts of the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, concerning President of Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor.
.
In a statement, yesterday, Eyieyien said El Rufai remains the National General Secretary of All Progressives Congress, APC, and some people listen to him.
.
He said: "CAN cannot and should not ignore El Rufai's outbursts because lies have a way of being perceived as truth when often repeated. El-Rufai has taken up a crusade against CAN President, Pastor Oritsejafor and has said several damaging things.
.
"He claims he knows the person that bought the jet which members of Word of Life Bible Church, Warri, Delta State, contributed money to buy as a gift for Pastor Oritsejafor to celebrate his birthday and his 40th year in ministry."
.
He said that the umbrella body of Christians in the country should challenged El-Rufai to disclose who he says actually provided the funds.
.
He said: "How can such an issue be ignored by CAN, when it calls to question the integrity of the official leader of Christians in Nigeria?
.
"How can El-Rufai say that the President of CAN is the 'propaganda spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party' and some people cannot see the agenda at play? Is the CAN President a politician? Is he a member of any political party?"
