Garba Shehu, senior special assistant
to the president on media and publicity, has advised the Christian Association
of Nigeria (CAN) to stick to its religious duties.
Shehu said this in response to
the position of CAN that the current administration poses a threat to
democracy.
Musa Asake, general secretary of
the association, said this in reaction to herdsmen killings across the country.
But Shehu dismissed Asake’s
allegation, saying the cleric could not substantiate it.
“Our attention has been drawn to
reports of a press conference by general secretary of Christian Association of
Nigeria, CAN, Dr. Musa Asake in which he passed a judgement on the
constitutionality of certain actions of the Muhammadu Buhari administration,”
Shehu said.
“Unfortunately, he could not cite
any valid cases of constitutional violations. President Muhammadu Buhari
government poses no threat to the country’s democracy and constitution.
“There are no cases of any
violation of our sacred constitution and there will be none under this
president.
“The respected religious leader
should stick to his religious duties and leave politics for politicians.”
