Ayo Oritsejafor Is Making Mockery Of CAN - Cardinal Okogie

A formerly Archbishop of Lagos in the Roman Catholic Church, Olubunmi Okogie, said the current president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Ayo Oritsejafor is making a mockery of the association

Mr. Okogie described Ayo Oritsejafor as “fallen from grace to grass”,  and added that he has also lost grip of the leadership of CAN.

During an interview with the New Telegraph newspapers, Mr. Okogie said Mr Oritsejafor “unrighteous” quest to remain in power and his “romance” with politicians have finished him and derailed the once respected Christian body from the lofty dreams of its founding fathers.

“My brother, I must tell you this; CAN leadership today is zero. CAN has no leader,” he said.

“Thank God you are talking to one of the founders of CAN, and I was there as their leader for eight years. Then, the whole country knew that CAN had a leader, not by my own might, but by God. Because what we were doing then, we had only one voice. But the problem we have now is that people are struggling for power in unrighteous way. And because he is struggling for power, he can do little or nothing.

“And we didn’t buy the position. But this time around, because they are rushing to be in power, nobody obeys them. And look at how they are making mockery of themselves and making mockery of “religion”. Is that religion? Today, they are with the federal government. We saw the writing on the wall when we left. The very first person that took over started romancing with Obasanjo. Then one or two CAN presidents tried their best before it got to this present CAN president, Oritsejafor. This is not right. Look at how Oritsejafor has fallen, from grace to grass,” he added.

Hmm, you sure took your time to praise yourself in the same breath. You sure are a humble one.
