CAN, PFN, demand President Buhari’s resignation

By Egufe Yafugborhi
WARRI – THE Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and
the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, Thursday
called for resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari,
alleging that he is no longer fit to lead the country.
South South chapters of CAN and PFN, at a joint meeting
in Warri, Delta State said the president’s silence on the
killings of Christians in Northern Nigeria has become
worrisome to the point where self help becomes the
compelling option for Christians to protect themselves.
Briefing newsmen following a closed door meeting,
Bishop Simeon Okah, National Vice President PFN (South-
South), said, “Number one issue is this Fulani herdsmen
in our bushes. We are no longer going to fold our hands
and watch while they kill our people.Some governors are
saying they are not from the North. That claim is an
insult to us.
“Today our children are now being deported from
America and here we have people from outside our
country killing people and raping our daughters, mother
and wives. Our farmers no longer have farmlands to
farm. I think it’s high time we started defending ourselves
if the government cannot help us.”
The economy is dying. When Jonathan handed over to
Buhari, the exchange rate was between N170 to N190 to
a dollar. Today, it is N550 to a dollar. Imagine how things
had gone bad? While the church will pray, if he (Buhari)
cannot save the country, let him resign for the country to
move to where God wants it to be.”
The clergy also affirmed support for Apostle Johnson
Suleiman over his recent alleged inflammatory statement
which pitted him against Directorate of State Security,
DSS, stressing that Suleman spoke the minds of
Christians over the said comments.
