CAN president, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor has been under fire after his private jet was used to smuggle $9.3m into South Africa. Despite the government saying the money was legitimately meant for the procurement of arms, many have still wondered why the man of God's jet was used out of all other Jets in the country.

He finally broke his silence during the National Executive Council Meeting of CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria)yesterday .He also said the jet wasn't a gift from the president but members of his congregation..He said
“I wish to assure you that I will not do anything to tarnish the image of Jesus Christ or compromise the divine standard of the church.As you are all aware, the media has been awashed in the past few days about an unfortunate incident involving the movement of funds from Nigeria to South Africa. In the unfortunate news reports, attempts have been made to link me directly with the transaction.
“So far, I have refrained from making any direct public response pending the time that I would have briefed the leaders of the church and explained my position on the issues to them.I believe that the primary institution that I owe any explanation to is the church.At the risk of being seen to be defending myself, I wish to confirm to the distinguished leaders of the church that the Bombardier Challenger 601 aircraft in question is mine. The aircraft was presented to me as a gift by members of our congregation and ministry partners worldwide at my 40th anniversary of my call into the ministry.
May I be permitted to stress that the aircraft was not given to me by the President of Nigeria,neither was it a settlement for any political favour or patronage.With the benefit of hindsight, the President of the country was a guest in our church during the anniversary celebration when the jet was presented to me. This has construed an implication that it was a gift from the President of the country.The President of Nigeria has nothing to do with the gift of the aircraft. By the way, I still wonder why all those saying this cannot come out to show proof so that the matter can be put to rest once and for all. Let me say that this might be an issue of the court in the near future.”
“In order to ameliorate the cost of maintenance of the aircraft, I sought and got permit to allow the aircraft fly in and out of Nigeria.Based on this, I leased the aircraft on August 2, 2014, to a company to run it. It was the leasee that entered into an agreement with the people who carried out the transfer of funds. Having leased the aircraft to the Green Coast Produce Company Limited, any transaction undertaken with the aircraft can no longer be attached to me.
“In as much as I am shocked and distressed by the incident, I wish to appeal to Christians in Nigeria to remember that a war has been waged against the Nigerian church. This war is being fought on many fronts and this unfortunate incident is another dimension in the assault against the church.
It is clear that those who manipulated this conspiracy desire to create a schism in the church,”
What a shame
ReplyDeleteI saw it coming, some bad news are not meant to be attributed to a genuine man of God. I think he's a materialistic pastor. Refrain n do the right thing early enough. God is watching u ooo. Golden
ReplyDeleteIssues concerning church, am not always quick to judge or conclude, I rather fold my hands and see who carries the day, but one thing is certain, whatsoever you do, so shall you be judged.. My one piece!!!
ReplyDeleteLong story
ReplyDeleteWe know you would or may not launder money. But receiving an aeroplane from the church to evangelise the gospel is a temptation. Now you lend it out to meet the cost of maintanance, but devil been a smart guy now exposes you to the world that you have turned the gospel jet to jet of merchandising. Pls. make amend and sell the jet to help the cause of poverty alleviation for the poor. The Muslims in the North would not buy jet for their pleasure, why we not exhibitting nature of Jesus and stop been selfish and proud.
