The Christian Association of Nigeria (Youth Wing) has faulted a recent comment made by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, who claimed that Christians were behind the death rumours on President Muhammadu Buhari.
The group, in a statement issued by its President, Daniel Kadzai said the statement was capable of inciting violence, adding that the statement was a lie against the body of Christ.
YOWICAN said, “We wish to state categorically that the SGF has no ecclesiastical authority to speak for his church (ECWA) or the Christian community. Let him not be deceived by his position in government as if he is equal to a spiritual leader speaking for the Christians.

“How will he (SGF) come out and even indict every Christian in Nigeria that we are the people fueling the controversy about the President’s health?
“If these people now declare war against Christians and kill everybody because of the allegation, is that not a serious disaster for us?
“Babachir David Lawal has said what the church did not permit him to say and we have not given him mandate to speak on behalf of the church.”
