The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN has suspended its Gombe State Caretaker Chairman, Rev. Sunday Congo.

Congo was suspended after he wrote a congratulatory letter to the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, without the approval of the association’s National Executive Committee.

CAN State Secretary in Gombe, Apostle John Adedigba, in a letter on behalf of all the of the caretaker committee congratulated Pantami on his recent reported “promotion to the rank of a Professor of Cyber Security” by the Governing Council of Federal University of Technology, Owerri.

They stated in the letter that they were “proud” of Pantami as a “son”.

However, CAN in a letter by its General Secretary, Joseph Daramola, dated September 15 2021, titled: ‘Letter of Suspension’, sent to CAN caretaker committee chairman in Gombe, stated that the congratulatory letter was issued without the consent of the mother body.

Part of the letter read, “Following the recent publications of your congratulatory message to the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Pantami, CAN writes to inform you that your action has generated a lot of concerns amongst of the Christian Association of Nigeria.

“This action of yours in publishing on behalf of the association is tantamount to unilateral decision of you and overzealousness on your part, which was done without authorization and clearance.”

CAN described the letter without its executive’s permission as provocative, adding that he does not represent their position.

“It is not only provocative but undermines the CAN NEC executive. It does not in any way represent their position.

“In view of this, you are hereby directed to relinquish your position in Gombe CAN executive with immediate effect and hand over all CAN’s property to your next in line in your bloc.”

CAN further advised that the body be consulted in future and an approval obtained from the authority of CAN national level in order for everyone to speak with one voice.

No terrorist should be praised

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN has suspended its Gombe State Caretaker Chairman, Rev. Sunday Congo.

CAN should not only suspend him; they should also slap his nonsense face. Make dem pin d reverend to one corner for the church, make dem come rush am with better decking. Instead of feeding him with the word of God, let them feed him with slaps, kicks and punches.
Just a caretaker chairman and he's already acting like he's the voice of the whole Christian Association of Nigeria. There's a difference between him congratulating pantami on his own, than making it look like the whole CAN congratulated him.

What stomach infrastructure can not do does not exist

For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly & whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.(Philippians 3:18-19)

What the Gombe State CAN chair did is as disgraceful as what the late TB Joshua's so called apostles or disciples did to his material wealth immediately he ed on.God rests his soul.The deadly inordinate crave for filthy lucre among the so called believers. God help us.

He congratulated someone with fake professor title in the name of CAN.

Christian too dey chase stomach infrastructure shey?

Very good, there's no place for extremism in politics

But what business does a CAN executive member in Gombe has with a promotion that was conferred on Patanmi in far Owerri, Imo State if not eye service

The body of Christ has no affliation with a known terrorist.

Sunday issa low key APC terrorist planted as mole in CAN.......

That man should be stoned to death.

O

The insolence

No longer “One God”

CAN of worms. They're still mute on the murder of the Rev in Imo state. What an organization.

Wondering who still take these clowns serious.

Such a man should be given opportunity to speak his mind and you'll be surprised the kind of things he will vomit.

Good move.

But on what basis did the CAN chairman congratulate Pantami?

Is it that Pantami is a Christian?

Or that CAN has become Gombe state govt or traditional Emirate that would be proud of Gombe son?

Aboki na just aboki even the one wey be CAN chairman.

Can of worms

Isa pandemic is not just only his son, he is also the son of bitch

Nonsense man congratulating a man who was promoting to fake professorship

He can as well convert to Islam and enjoy their peace. Shameless fooool congratulating a man whose happy when you are dead and pray every day for his dead prophet to make sure he kills anything called Christian.

And if he later becomes Governor, CAN should suspend all their for congratulating or visiting him

Congratulating a self professed terrorist? Someone that confessed on TV that he is happy when your own people (maliciously tagged infidels) are being murdered by Moslems according to their sixth tenet of faith?

If the one true God isn't merciful and wasn't so slow to anger, he would have struck you with thunder even before CAN considers the idea of firing you.

An act of gross irresponsibility coming from that Gombe man, coupled with the fact that the "professorship" tag given to pantami was not deserved but a fake one. Perhaps this CAN man is a closet islamist more so that he is from the North, but is a spy and just using the CAN tag to fool people.

vedaxcool:
CAN extremist from the south sanctioning a moderate in the North. A. Advantage of living in a multi religious society like Gombe is that you are less prone to using hatred as the basis for interacting with people.

You see that your polythesistic society like Gombe that you are happy about is on the list of places Islamists have promised to overrun and impelement full shariah there. They are currently on southern Kaduna, to kill those that refuse to submit to Islam or drive them away from their land. Once they are through with Southern Kaduna and Borno, next in line is your Gombe.

So keep praising them, except of course you are a hard core islamist extremist yourself.
