<\/p>\nSunday Oibe, Secretary of CAN in Northwest zone, in a statement on Friday, lambasted Hayab for not consulting the zone before his declaration.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe assure him that he will not get away with this offence this time. We have consulted with the Chairman of CAN in the North West Zone, Bishop David Bakare, who is our critical stakeholder\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Chairman of CAN in Northern Region, Rev. Yakubu Pam, will always consult everybody on every serious matter before he makes a comment, especially if it has to do with the entire North. The Secretary of Northern CAN, Danladi Yerima would not have been part of the lies by Hayab, without the consent of Northern CAN.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth Reverend Pam, Yerima and Bakare said there was no meeting where a decision was taken to support Ayokunle. Let us make it clear that Hayab is on his own, what he said is his personal opinion.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Northern CAN did not partake in the meeting convened and attended by him alone. We are calling on the public, especially Christians in Northern Nigeria to disregard Hayab and his lies.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see it as gross insubordination; if because of the gentility of Rev. Yakubu Pam and amiable nature of Danladi Yerima, he decided to embark on this ambiguous adventure and controversy, he failed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was the same thing that Hayab did under Archbihop Peter Jatto and was suspended and sacked as the Public Relations Officer of Northern CAN. He has the penchant to speak with the media without authority.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is this same Hayab who said Northern CAN was illegal and removed the signboard of Northern CAN. Yet, he is now using the Northern CAN to play selfish politics.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are aware of his pranks; five Christian leaders have told us that Hayab had informed them that Ayokunle (incumbent President of CAN), has asked him to carefully select some of the prominent church leaders for them to go and break fast with President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso Rock Villa on Monday May 27 2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe invitation of those that will break fast with the President will be restricted to persons who are loyal to Ayokunle as a ploy to woo voters. Now, the is Ayokunle the President of Christians selected by Hayab to break fast with Buhari or President of every Christian in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese and others are the questions Ayokunle must answer as we prepare for the general election of CAN scheduled for June.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
