Seized aircraft in SA: CAN reacts, attacks El Rufai, Lai Mohammed & Sahara Reporters

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, released a statement
yesterday reacting to reports about the seized private jet in South
Africa that implicated its National President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor.
CAN called out El Rufai and APC national spokesperson, Lai Mohammed
for attacking Oritsejafor and Sahara Reporters for reporting in their
own words 'falsehood'. Find the statement below...

Our attention has been drawn to the desperation of some elements
working for a particular political party within our society to tarnish
the image of the President of Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor
Ayo Oritsejafor. They are working for the All Progressives Congress
and they are not unknown to us.
Let Nigerians have this background for them to judge themselves. These
shameless characters including a former Minister of the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT), Nasir El-Rufai and National Publicity
Secretary of All Progressives Congress, Lai Mohammed, went to UK to
embark on an image laundering for their political party, the APC.
El-Rufai had once said there are three sets of Boko Haram in Nigeria:
Islamic Boko Haram, Politicians' Boko Haram and Christians' Boko Haram
which he said are being funded by President Goodluck Jonathan and
coordinated by CAN President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor.

He went further to claim that the CAN President has been given N50
billion by the President and a Jet. The same characters, went head to
sponsor a negative report in Saharareporters. I had expected that by
now no sane mind will take any report by Saharareporters serious
because it is an online news medium which thrives on falsehood and
survives on false propaganda and blackmail. The aircraft in question
is owned by Eagle Air Company and the CAN President is an interested
party in the company.

Since August 2 2014, this Aircraft has been leased to Green Coast
Produce Limited.
They lease this aircraft and people rent it from them.
Anybody in this country will attest to the fact that Pastor Ayo
Oritsejafor has been following Chartered Airlines. All investigations
about the plane should be directed to the management of Green Coast
Produce Limited, a duly registered company. Further enquiries about
this should be confirmed from Eagle Air Company which leased this
Aircraft. El-Rufai has accused Jesus Christ severally in recent times.
El-Rufai and his group met and decided to launch a blackmail against
Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor because he is an ardent supporter of President
Goodluck Jonathan.

This, he did, to elicit sentiment from the society. We want Nigerians
to ponder over this: if Nigeria wants to buy arms, the government
knows where to get their weapons. How did Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor come
into this? The report is a well-organized orchestrated plan, all
because of their desperation for the 2015 general elections. If not
for the blindness and intellectual myopia of some Nigerians, people in
the calibre of El-Rufai shouldn't be taken seriously and should not be
walking on the streets. This was the same El-Rufai abusing Gen.
Muhammad's Buhari (retd) and ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, calling
them all sorts of names. El-Rufai is more of a Street Boy whose
history and antecedents are very much known.

He has been the person defending Boko Haram and this is an opportunity
for him to hide his misdeeds. We are waiting and we can assure you
that at the appropriate time, he and his allies will pay dearly for
it. The international community sees APC as an Islamic party; instead
of El-Rufai to deny that, he was busy orchestrating spurious
propaganda against Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor. The public should also not
forget that it was Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor who went to the United
States' Congress and suggested that Boko Haram Islamic sect should be
domesticated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). It is the same
El-Rufai who is accusing the CAN President as the person behind Boko
Haram.

A word should be enough for the wise!
