Pastor Oritsejafor Emerges CAN President
ABUJA - The National President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, (PFN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor has emerged the new President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in an election held in Abuja.
He defeated the incumbent Most Rev. John Onaiyekan at the National Executive Committee, NEC in a keenly contested election.
Oritsejafor by this feat has become the first Pentecostal president of the 34-year old bodyof Christians in Nigeria.
Reports say that CAN presidency has rotated between the Catholic Church which had produced three presidents, the Anglican Communion and the Methodist Church Nigeria, who had one slot each.
Oritsejafor polled 66 votes while Onaiyekan garnered 38 votes to emerge winner from the 104 NEC members’ who were accredited to vote during the elections.
In preparation for the elections in June at the Electoral; College, Oritsejafor secured eight votes while the outgoing president, Most Rev.Onaiyekan and his vice president, Most Rev. Daniel Okoh had four and three votes each.
It was also learnt that with this development, Oritsejafor would be recommended to the National Assembly of CAN at the same venue for ratification as the next National President of the umbrella body of Christians in Nigeria.
It was also learnt that the ratification of Oritsejafor and his deputy would be done by simple majority votes by the representatives qualified to vote.
In his reaction, Oritsejafor attributed his victory to God who he said would also give him the needed enablement to accomplish the desires of the Christians in the country.

olede: It is too bad that at this stage christain are still worshiping islam as their gods in disguise. Have anyone see muslem mallams critising themselves on pages of newspaper as christain do. When shall all christain stop exposing themselves on pages of newspaper?

stebell: Me too i'm waiting for Anglican, Methodist n Deeper Life to also pull out. Enof of all these celebrity posers com M of G

We are talking the same thing, have u refuted my claim that CAN presidency is rotated btwn catholics and protestants? Before oritsejafor was Onaiyekan then Mbang, then Onaiyekan, then Akinola etc. its like north south zoning PDP does. Onaiyekan is expected to vie with him even though he know its their turn. When it was catholic turn, mbang contested with onaiyekan and lost. Its a mutual agreement thing.

I dont like dabbling into church politics bc it brings disunity among the body of christ. BTW d news is dat they pulled at d national level but not at state level, this is simply a vote of no confidence passed by the catholic church against d leadership of CAN at the national level but nt against CAN as a union of christians. If Oritsejafor is non-partisan, he is expected to listen to voice of wisdom and stop acting like a tyrant. Being CAN president is a call to leadership and shepherding of flocks and not about politicking.

Shalom

Also know that many church denominations are not members of CAN both at state and national level, eg Christ Embassy, does that not make them christians?

Thirdly, u accused the catholic church of keeping mum? thats laughable! Who among the christian leaders has been more vocal than Bishop hassan kuka of sokoto Diocese, Cardinal okogie of lagos, Cardinal Onaiyekan, Monsignor Osu, d director of communication Abuja Archdioces? How can d catholic keep mum when its mostly catholic churches dat rxv boko haram attack? St Theresa Madalla and co comes to mind. My broda the security challenge at hand requires more diplomatic resolution than mere shouting and telling xtians to arm themselves, is that d teaching of Christ? U should congratulate Cardinal onaiyekan for preaching peace even in d face of provocative attack on catholic church and other xtian churches rada than igniting fire. U handle this issue with maturity else it explodes and those telling u to arm ur self will enter their private jet and fly out.

I demand apology from u for spewing lies against d church in an effort to sound smart, u short ur self on d foot bro. Peace!

Deeperlife was never part of CAN

Trojavirus: That is not true. Initially they were not part of CAN but during African Wide Crusades organised by Deeper Life Church the church decided to join the body.

Arusi, I na eje uka?

caesaraba: Ah! Finally. Thank God!

Proudly Roman Catholic.

pictures: Oritsejafor was given a jet to make his work easier at his level ,I don't
know the main reason why these people are pulling out of CAN. Nobody has showed
evidence that the jet was solely bought by the govt. Oritsejafor
has single handedly lambasted Boko Haram without fear and risking his life ,he
should be highly commended for standing for Northern christians.
Okay , they want him to carry placard and be condemning govt all the time like
Bakare. Show me the difference between now and all past govts. None.
Now that it is south's turn to rule Nigeria, they are pulling out of CAN.
If there are issues with Oritsejafor's style of leadership ,
there are proper avenue of dialogue within the ministers in CAN to settle their grievances.

Not materialistic indeed.
Who owns madonna university scattered all around the place? They pay more than half what convenant university pays but they are not one - third close to convenant both in structures and standard.

Oh, I forgot he runs a charity nun home! huh?
