LOST FOCUS ... LOST RELEVANCE : Leave Jonathan alone, he’s not the one killing our children ... CAN tells Northern Governors


The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has called on the Northern Governors to shift their focus from the 2015 election and begin to tackle the activities of the Boko Haram sects that have taken over the region.
The General Secretary of CAN, Dr. Musa Asake, told PUNCH, that it was unfortunate that Northern Governors were wasting energy on stopping President Goodluck Jonathan from running for a second term, while thousands were dying in their states due to Boko Haram attacks.
He said, “For us in CAN, we don’t understand why the attacks started again. We were still celebrating and thanking God that things were calming down, only for this kind of mad killings to occur. I don’t understand how a human being will walk into a school when students were sleeping and slaughtered them. There is no justification for that. We condemn that killing in its totality.
“After over 50 students were slaughtered, I expected that Northern Governors do not go to sleep; I expected them to work day and night until they fish out the perpetrators of the crime.
But it appears they are only concerned about how they want the next President to come from the North. The whole of their energy is spent on 2015 and making sure that Jonathan does not get a second term. Is Jonathan our problem in the North? Is Jonathan the one killing our children?”
