GENERAL
Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch
Adejare Adeboye, yesterday, defended the national president of the
Christian Association, CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, following the
controversy surrounding the seizure of $9.3 million arms purchase funds
by South Africa.
Pastor Adeboye who spoke in London during an
ecclesiastical visit said, “Pastor Ayodele Joseph Oritsejafor is a man
of God I trust and I can personally vouch for him. I believe on the
issue of his aircraft being chartered and the purpose it was used for he
had no prior knowledge. I’m sure God will continue to build his church
and the gates of hell will not prevail in Jesus name. One anointed
cannot attack another anointed. A pastor cannot attack another pastor.
Touch not my anointed is what God said. Some Nigerians have questioned
the use of Pastor Oritsejafor’s private jet by the Federal Government to
convey the money to South Africa, accusing him of involvement in money
laundering.
The Federal Government had to come out in defence of
the CAN president, arguing that Oritsejafor who is also the founder of
Word of Life Bible Church has no hand in the deal. The Senior Special
Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan (Public Communication), Dr.
Doyin Okupe, told newsmen in Abuja: “Oritsejafor is the President of CAN
and head of all Christians in Nigeria who is representing at least, 50
per cent of people in this country. When it comes to a man like that,
people should be cautious and circumspect.
Okupe also advised
Nigerians to stop playing politics with every issue of national concern,
saying it is not in tandem with patriotism.
