The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN has called for the removal of Sterling Bank CEO, Abubakar Suleiman over a controversial Easter Advert.

In a statement made available to POLITICS NIGERIA on Wednesday, signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Joseph Bade Daramola, the group called for Suleiman's Sack for 'hostility and hatred' of the Christian Faith.

"The attention of the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has been drawn to an ungodly, wicked, insensitive and deliberately provocative ment of the Sterling Bank comparing the Resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ to 'Agege Bread' amidst the Easter celebration."

"In case the management of the Sterling Bank is not aware, the resurrection of Jesus witnesses to the immense power of God Himself. To believe in the resurrection is to believe in God. If God exists, and if He created the universe and has power over it, then He has power to raise the dead. If He does not have such power, He is not worthy of our faith and worship."

"Only He who created life can resurrect it after death, only He can reverse the mystery that is death itself, and only He can remove the sting and gain the victory over the grave (1 Corinthians 15:54–55). In resurrecting Jesus from the grave, God reminds us of His absolute sovereignty over life and death."

"The purported apology did not come from a penitent heart. How can someone in his right mind described the risen Christ as a loaf of bread. That is insulting, ridiculous and a mockery of Jesus Christ. We advised Christians to be wary of the banks and other financial institutions they are patronising."

"We learnt that the Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON) has reportedly intervened in the matter with a view to impose some sanctions against Sterling Bank. The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is waiting for the decision of the organisation."

"However, in the interim, we call for the immediate removal of the Chief Executive of Sterling Bank; Mr. Abubakar Suleiman with his Management whose actions have clearly shown their hostility and hatred for the Christian faith."

Christianity is the real definition of Peace. No protest, no killings etc.

tonididdy:

Ehen since you lots are "weak", then take whatever jabs come your way ( as usual)

Weak? You call Christians weak?? Bro we've ed that stage of conquest cos Christianity already conquered the world and it is still firmly in it's grip.

They can't try it with muslims

In Christianity "WE DO NOT" fight for God, he already battled and paid the price!



SO WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT...
Is this what CAN should be channeling her voice for?

besides the ad ( just like a hundred more from that day) was pure Sacarsm " no pun was intended "... I think even hypo did a similar comparism

In the next Muslim holiday, CAN should compare Allah with agege bread, problem solved

Yes o. I shocked when I received the email.

Mtcheew. Who still take CAN seriously. CAN is just like SERAP, all noise no action. Let Christians take action against the bank and watch it crash, not CAN who speaks from both sides of the mouth.

Stupid cancel culture. Who be CAN

Ok

Asap. What aren't nonsense. Only the insane jokes with issues concerning his creator.

Are u fighting for God or what Let God deal with him instead. That comes with much pain than the judgment rendered by humans... Na Simile one of the literary devices dem no understand.

Okay

My brothers and sisters should the CEO take the fall

May God forgive them.

issokay

That was a very unpalatable joke from sterling bank. I’m sure they can’t try such with Muslims, by now, some of their branches would have been in flames.

On the flip side, if it were MURIC now, they would've surely called for jihad immediately, and assassinate the Sterling Bank CEO.

Christianity is truly a religion of peace, no doubt. When you're supreme, no tantrums has the power to bring you down.

CAN, please leave Mr Suleiman to face the wrath of God alone!

Please we shouldn't go the Islamic Way, na so Terrorism take start.

Let him face his judgement by Jesus.

The Bible says in Matthew 7; "Do not judge, or you too will be judged".

G

Okay

The Christian God, which is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omnipowerful is capable of fighting for himself.
CAN should rather pray and hand him over to God for judgement. I don't need to waste my energy over this.

I endorse this, not just the CEO, several heads should roll

Christianity is the real definition of Peace �️�️

Definitely not Nigerian Christianity... bunch of noisemakers and pretenders and hypocrites.
The people who post the nastiest nonsense on this site are all 'bornagain' Christians..

I always tell people, Nigeria is not a country. Nigeria is just a street in Africa

So it’s the CEO that’s responsible for common advert now?
Haba CAN

No difference between this CAN leadership and MURIC. two senseless entities. Useless

Lol

If it happened to Muslims, pantami wpuld have declared fatwa which would lead to th death of more than 2000 christians. The buhari government would then douse the tension by saying only 2 people died and they were muslims. Christians are endangered in Nigeria but they dont know

‘Christ rose like agege bread’. Who writes that in his right mind? If it was Muhammed a Christian Insulted in that manner, hundreds would have died in northern states by now. That’s why you are not allowed to even comment in their posts here. Intolerance.
Christianity is the only religion of peace.
