The erstwhile president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor has made it known that during his tenure, a lot of Christians stabbed him at the back, insulted and plotted against him despite the fact that he laid his life as a sacrifice.
He furthered that as at the time he took over leadership, the situation of the country was quite intense as he calls on everyone to totally support the new president of the association Pastor Samson Ayokunle.
“We came in a period the challenges of the church had reached a point that lots of Christians in Nigeria had been displaced from their home and churches.
“Some pastors, particularly, in northern Nigeria were closing their churches. Lots of Nigerians had become internally displaced persons in their homes.
“As we are entering a more challenging period in the history of our nation.Unfortunately, it is also the time that we seem to view CAN with some contempt.
“Yes, CAN may have her challenges, but, for now, we have no other body that unites us. So, we must revere the structure and leadership. Let us continue to pray for our land and leaders,” he said.
