I still don't understand. The Christian Association of Nigeria, Northern Chapter, released a statement asking President Buhari to shelve any plans of arresting former President Goodluck Jonathan and they have good reasons.
I'm not a politician o, but I can't believe this statement can ever come from a Christian body.
Are they saying even if corruption is found in him, he must not be tried? What are they trying to achieve? To cover corruption with good deeds? Well, that was not what my bible taught me!
"He Who Covered His Sin Shall Not Prosper!"
In a statement signed by the association's Publicity Secretary, Rev. Joseph Hayab, the christian body stated that such moves by the Buhari-led government will throw Nigeria into confusion.
“Let me warn that such a misadventure will set a wrong precedent and only open door for mischief people to set this nation into confusion. What Nigerians need urgently is availability of fuel, electricity, prompt salary, security of lives and property, among other issues that are begging for urgent answers. If the purported plan to arrest him is to please the international community and prove to them that we are fighting corruption, then let us know that
this same international community are busy celebrating him as hero of democracy and even those who seriously wanted him to go for a change to happen are now singing a new song about him.
Former President, Jonathan is deservedly seen in Nigeria and beyond as a hero of democracy because of his actions before, during and after the 2015 elections. As such, it will be an ill advice for the Buhari administration to initiate the arrest of such a statesman at this time and with the current realities. Our government must know that there are individuals serving today that are also been accused of corruption but since there are claims that nothing has been established against them, they are walking and speaking like saints. While ignoring all these, Government now wants to arrest a man of peace like Jonathan?
CAN Northern States wishes to advice that such an action, if actualized, has the capacity to lead to serious confusion that will affect Nigeria economically and otherwise. We believe Former President Jonathan deserves praise and should receive gratitude from those in power today not scorn. Let it not be that this purported planned arrest is meant to distract Nigerians from speaking or complaining about the reality of what and how they are feeling since the past eleven months, we are afraid that such an action may spark a chain of reactions. If our President wants to arrest anything for now then he should arrest the incessant spate of herdsmen attacks in Nigeria which has led to the deaths of almost a thousand of innocent Nigerians under his watch. He should arrest the dangerous slide in the power sector.he should arrest the slide in the economy. We believe at this time and with the current realities that our former president most not be denigrate but honour, because honour must be given to whom it is due.”

Only a corrupt person will fight for a corrupt person. Period
Tis buhari self. Se he did not see his corrupt muslim counterpart abi
Does it even make sense? If he embezzled money like dasuki we shuld just cover it up. Is dat wat the bible said.
The question is what are they afraid of? That they have a secret to bury right n if dey start to investigate Jonathan der dirt will come out
Every body knows Jonathan is CAN
Although I am not in support of such an arrest, but please, CAN should try and keep their mouth out of politics for once. Who even asked them?
Buhari should not just try it cus things will go wrong if he does
Which confusion??? He must give account of all the mismanagement,so to say, he should be arrested with immediate effect, enough of the emotional blackmail, it won't work.
We say no to corrupt leaders
We say no to corruption
We support the fight for corruption
We support CHANGE.
Because GEJ has given CAN their own share of the loot. I wonder why a religion body would be fake instead of being real. What confusion??? Some reasonable and honest christians knows the truth not you CAN that want Nigerians to be in doom. May God touch your heart. Tessy I have said my own if you like don't post it
Let him go ahead and try it. He'll start ruling the North only
And since when has CAN become a political defender of the former President? With all the ills bedeviling this nation, I expected CAN to be busy praying for this nation & not dabble into politics.So if Jonathan is found guilty, he shouldn't be prosecuted Abi? Coz he's untouchable ba? .Bollocks.That's why Africa will always be lagging behind.You think if Obama is found guilty of corruption, Americans would let it slide coz he's the frigging president? Smh
