Arewa pastors accuse CAN of plot to discredit Buhari's government

- Arewa pastors have accused the Christian Association of Nigeria of a sinister plot to discredit the Buhari-led government

- The plot, according to the pastor, is being executed in connivance with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha

- The group also accused CAN of making efforts to divide Nigeria along tribal, religious and political lines

A non-denominational Christian organisation, Arewa Pastors Non-Denominational Initiative for Peace, has accused the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) of a sinister plot to discredit the President Buhari-led government.

The plot, according to the group, is being executed in connivance with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha.

Leadership reports that the national president of the association, Bishop John Abu Richard, stated this on Tuesday, May 27 while briefing journalists.

According to him, members of the body were unanimous in their condemnation of the activities of the CAN leadership.

The statement reads in part: “We also observe with shock the day to day anatomisation of the federal government led by President Muhammadu Buhari by the hijacked CAN.

“We completely condemn the hijacked leadership of CAN who worked against President Muhammadu Buhari by declaring him a jihadist that is masterminding the killing of Christians, pastors, burning of churches with an agenda to turn Nigeria to an Islamic state.

“This they campaigned from church to church and other communication channels. It is disheartening that Rev. Samson Ayo Kunle and Rev. Dr. Yakubu Pam have hijacked CAN and are using CAN as a platform for self-aggrandisement, political gains, self-promotion, securement of federal government appointments and completely self-gain and etc.

“It is also highly regrettable that the SGF, Mr. Boss Mustapha who is supposed to protect the interest of his principal is corroborating, colluding, assisting the present CAN of Worms led by Rev. Samson Ayo Kunle and his northern counterpart, Rev. Dr. Yakubu Pam who are always anti-Buhari to silence the genuine Christian religious bodies that believe in the corporate existence of Nigeria.”

The group also condemned the what they termed “unrelented efforts” by the CAN to divide Nigeria along tribal, religious and political lines, particularly its support for comments by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who had accused President Buhari of fulfilling his agenda of fulanizing and islamizing Nigeria.

“We members of Arewa Pastors and some senior Christian clerics across Nigeria strongly condemn this hate statement by former President Olusegun Obasanjo hence the statement is capable to divide the country,” the group said.

Meanwhile, Women Aspirants Forum of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has begun 21 days fasting and prayer to help usher in President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term in office.

National leader of the forum, Mrs Adedoyin Eshanumi told journalists in Abuja on Sunday, May 26, that the fasting and prayer was to facilitate the removal of any obstacle that could hinder the president’s second term inauguration on May 29 in Abuja.

Eshanumi also said that the fasting and prayer was to make God to grant the president the good health, strength, and wisdom needed to lead the country to the next level.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,
