Gado sponsoring division in CAN- Group

BY CALEB AYANSINA

ABUJA – The Patriotic  Christian Youths  of Nigeria  (PCYN), yesterday, accused the former aspirant in the just concluded election of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Revd Dr Jeremiah  Gado, of sponsoring division in the national Christian body after his defeat.

A media report (not Vanguard) had it that northern Christians under the aegis of the Concerned Christians of Nigeria and the Northern Nigerian Christians have pulled out of CAN over allegations of corruption as well as neglect of northern Christians especially in the North-East.

The President of PCYN, Evang. Simon Timothy  Nasso said those groups, who were  reported to have broken away from CAN had never been  members of CAN, and that, they were being sponsored by Gado. But when contacted, Gado denied sponsoring the groups behind the purported pull out, saying he did not have money for such sponsorship.
