The Christian Association of Nigeria (Youth Wing), has strongly
faulted a recent comment credited to the Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Babachir Lawal, where he claimed that Christians were behind the
death rumours on President Muhammadu Buhari.

The group said the SGF
had told lies against the body of Christ.
The organisation wondered
what the SGF wanted to achieve by accusing Christians of being responsible for
the rumours concerning the ailing health of the President.
YOWICAN in a statement
issued by its President, Daniel Kadzai, slammed Lawal for trying to ridicule
the Christian community.
YOWICAN said, “We wish to
state categorically that the SGF has no ecclesiastical authority to speak for
his church (ECWA) or the Christian community. Let him not be deceived by his
position in government as if he is equal to a spiritual leader speaking for the
Christians.
“How will he (SGF) come
out and even indict every Christian in Nigeria that we are the people fueling
the controversy about the President’s health?
“If these people now
declare war against Christians and kill everybody because of the allegation, is
that not a serious disaster for us?
“Babachir David Lawal has
said what the church did not permit him to say and we have not given him
mandate to speak on behalf of the church.”
