The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Ebonyi State Under the Leadership of His Eminence, Scamb Nwokolo has condemned in its entirety the fictitious and misleading activities of Dr Aloysius Ogah and Dr Ogwale Ogwale on who purportedly established new and fake CAN EXCO.
This condemnation arose from her emergency meeting held today Sunday 25th February, 2024 at Universal Christ Ministry , Scamb Nwokolo Street, off Odunukwe street in Abakaliki the State Capital.
The State CAN Chairman, Nwokolo who read their communique through the CAN Secretary, Reverend Father Simon Senior said “We the members of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Ebonyi State have received with dismay the fictitious publication on the “Formation of Ebonyi State New CAN EXCO and inauguration” as published by the Citizens Advocate of February 3rd, 2024 signed by Pastor Dr. Aloysius Nweke Ogah and Rev Dr. Ogwale Ogwale Ogwale. The same misleading information was serially announced by the “Legacy FM” on 24 February 2024 while copies were circulated on hardcopy to many citizens of our dear state and beyond”
He said CAN Ebonyi State has officially notify the Ebonyi State Government and the general public that the purported misleading information is frivolous and never emanated from Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Ebonyi State.
“The general public is equally notified that at no time was the newly elected and inaugurated CAN Executive of Ebonyi State led by His Eminence Rev. Dr. Scamb Nwokolo dissolved or caretakers inaugurated. Any elections of the State CAN is conducted by the National and Zonal bodies of CAN”
“The undersigned persons of the fictitious publication do not hold any portfolio in the Local Government, State or any of the five blocs of the CAN in Ebonyi State”
“The “locus stand:” of the publishers “that strangers should not rule over their host” (Deut. 17:15) is not only embarrassing to us as leaders of the Christian body in Ebonyi State but nepotic, clannish with pagan undertone as in Christ “…there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Gal 3: 28) “since Christ is all and is in all” (Col. 3:11)”
“The public is equally notified that the authentic leaders of CAN whose names were used in the formation of the new purported state Exco were never consulted and had their names and portfolios impersonated. Again, to answer Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Ebonyi State is equally not just impersonation of the body of Christ in Ebonyi State but criminal”
“The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Ebonyi State passes vote of confidence on the leadership of His Eminence Rev. Dr. Scamb Nwokolo as CAN Chairman Ebonyi State. Any person(s), group(s) dealing with the fake body of CAN does so at its own risk”. He added.
