CAN president Rev Supo
Ayokunle has attacked
John Kerry over his recent
visit – The CAN president
accused the US
administration of
supporting the excesses of
the APC – Rev Ayokunle also said
that the government has
laid a siege on Christians kerry-sulatan- United States Secretary of
State John Kerry talks with the
Sultan of Sokoto during his visit The US secretary of state, John
Kerry has come under heavy
attack by the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN),
over his recent visit to Nigeria. Mr John Kerry was told off by
CAN, who say that his recent
visit to Nigeria was
discriminatory, personal and
divisive. Rev Supo Ayokunle, the
President of CAN, alleged that Kerry’s actions during his visit
would further the federal
government’s plan to continue
to persecute the teeming
population of Nigerian Christians. During his visit, John Kerry only
visited the Sultan of Sokoto,
Sa’ad Abubakar III, he also met
with the 19 northern
governors, of whom only three
are Christians. Also at the Presidential Villa,
where Kerry was hosted by
President Muhammadu Buhari,
he met with select northern
governors, which also led to
criticism as to who selected the governors that were allowed to
meet with him. According to Vanguard, Rev
Ayokunle, told journalists in an
interview in Abuja that Kerry
disrespected the heterogeneous
nature of Nigeria, while nakedly
showing favour to northern Nigeria and Muslims to the
detriment of the Christian
community. Ayokunle said that the attitude
and disposition of the Secretary
of States and the discrimination
he adopted during the visit
supports accusations that the
President Barack Obama’s administration, alongside Kerry
and other strategic US
politicians in the Obama’s
government openly supported
the All Progressives Congress
(APC) in the 2016 general elections, which produced the
current leadership of the
country. The CAN president also asked
John Kerry to “stop interfering
in Nigerian affairs”, explaining
that as far as he was
concerned the visit was a
complete flop and exposed Kerry’s negligence of Nigeria’s
unity in diversity ideology that
has remained the bedrock of
the country. READ ALSO: REVEALED! The real reason John Kerry visited
Nigeria – Femi Fani-Kayode He said: “Why did he meet with
19 states governors, without
southern governors, is Nigeria
the north alone, why did you
go to the north alone?” There’s a siege on Christians.
Kerry, his actions speak volume,
his actions, body language were
very divisive. “If US Secretary
of States is coming for official
visit, it’s understandable, but we demand explanation why he
was selective. Has the Sultan
Palace become another State
House? Was Kerry invited by
the Sultan? We have 36 States in Nigeria;
he only selected northern
governors to meet with them. It
was a visit to the north, not to
Nigeria. It was surely a very
divisive visit. With the visit to the north, Kerry’s visit has
heightened fear and tension
among Christians in Nigeria, if
they cannot bring us together,
they should not interfere in our
affairs.” Ayokunle while speaking on the
killing of Christians in northern
Nigeria, said that based on
government the selective
persecution of Christians mostly
by the Department of State Service (DSS) and the Nigerian
Police, it was obvious the
administration was anti-
Christians. He said: “Have the DSS
arrested the Muslim youths who
burnt down a Catholic Church in
Niger State because they were
worshiping on Friday? What
happened to the ECWA Pastor who was killed in his farm in Obi
Local Government Area of
Nasarawa State? What have
happened with Redeemed
Preacher who was murdered in
Kubwa, Abuja? Look at the recent case in
Zamfara State, Christians where
burnt alive. What has
happened? They will tell you,
they are still investigating. Have
they been arrested and charged them to court? If the
government cannot sit up and
protect Christians, tolerance is
going to break down, they
should do the right thing, they
should not provoke Christians. Have we ever seen this
government bring anybody to
book?” READ ALSO: Fast all in one — UC Browser He tasked President Buhari “to
come out clean”, adding that
“a government that doesn’t
listen is not for the people.” He said that the police were
slow in persecuting Muslims, but
fast in persecuting Christians.
The CAN leader called on the
Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) to
intervene urgently in the case of Mr Joe Chinakwe who was
arrested for naming his dog
‘Buhari’. He said: “The NBA should take
up that case and ascertain
whether the man has the right
to give any name to a dog.
They should come and protect
the man’s human rights and set the record why the case is
not a criminal offence.” Meanwhile, Femi Fani-Kayode also criticized the visit saying in part: “I wonder if they still believe
that Clinton and Obama love ALL
Nigerians and not just those
that they helped to get into
power last year? Think hard
and think deep Christian before it is too late and you are
overwhelmed. Consider the
religious war that took place in
Lebanon years ago and that is
taking place in Syria today.” http://davesblog.over-blog.com/2016/08/tension-christian-leaders-attack-us-secretary-of-state.html
