N7B bribe: Buhari has fallen into wrong hands...- CAN

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the speculations that it received N7billion bribe across churches in Nigeria for President Goodluck Jonathan's  re-election campaign .
Rev. Musa Asake, the General Secretary of CAN described the allegation as baseless, incredible and worthless, urging the relevant security agencies to investigate it and bring those behind it to book.
“We repeat for emphasis, that neither Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, Bishop David Oyedepo, Pastor Bosun Emmanuel and CAN was given any money by the presidency, let alone N7 billion. The allegation is the height of mischief and desperation,” he said.
“For the avoidance of doubt, CAN has no knowledge of any N7 billion transaction as alleged by Musa Dikwa, who claims to be the Executive Director of a non-existent group, Voice of Northern Christian Movement. CAN is not a political party, let alone getting involved in partisan politics.
Christians who are members of CAN belong to different political parties. It is therefore surprising to hear that CAN is campaigning for one candidate,” Asake said.
He said the allegation would have been master-minded by those who were not happy with CAN’s recent statement where it denounced the endorsement of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) by a group of people using the name of different Christian organisations to perpetrate fraud.
“We still insist that Buhari has fallen into wrong hands because his endorsement for the March 28 general election by Northern Christian Leaders Eagle- Eye Forum led by Aminchi Habu is fraudulent.
We are therefore calling on security agencies to commence investigation of the activities of this Voice of Northern Christian Movement and Musa Dikwa himself to unravel the N7 billion mystery, which is intended by their sponsors to throw the country into serious crisis.
