Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has been given seven days by the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, within which to make public the identity of the person that donated a private jet to its president, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, or risk being exposed.

Describing El-Rufai as a liability in the country’s political system, CAN said if he was broke, he should beg Jonathan for a job, rather than engaging in blackmail.

El-Rufai had at the weekend, described Pastor Oritsejafor as the chief propagandist of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and one who lacked credibility.

But CAN in a statement in Abuja by the Head of TEKAN/ECWA Block in CAN, Rev. Emmanuel Dziggau and National Director (Research, Planning & Strategy), Elder Sunday Oibe, who gave El-Rufai the ultimatum, admonished former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), to dissociate himself from people like El-Rufai, who would use him to gain political relevance.

“It is laughable for an individual like El-Rufai looking for relevance to be alluding to Ayo’s credibility. If Pastor Ayo doesn’t have credibility, who else have credibility in Nigeria of today? Is it El-Rufai?

“The fact that El-Rufai in his tweets abused our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and Christians ignored him doesn’t give him the impetus to make unguarded comments about Pastor Ayo who is the leader of Christians in Nigeria,” the statement read in part.
