CAN Leadership: Northern YOWICAN denies supporting Rev. Pam
The Chairman of the Northern Youth Wing Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN), Musa Misal, has denied issuing any press statement in support of the former Northern CAN chairman, Rev. Yakubu Pam.
The reaction follows a press release issued on Friday, titled “Rev. Yakubu Pam Remains Our Legitimate Leader” and allegedly signed by Chairman Evang. Musa D. Misal and Assistant Secretary, Emmanuel Abbah.
Misal, in a swift response through a statement he personally signed, alleged that some individuals had requested that he endorse Rev. Dr. Yakubu Pam as the authentic and constitutionally recognized head of Northern CAN.
According to him, he refused to do so, having witnessed the election that gave birth to the Rev. Joseph John Hayab-led leadership.
In his words, “They wrote the statement and asked me to sign, but I refused because I was live and direct when the State Chairmen and Secretaries, together with Christian Stakeholders, elected Rev. Joseph John Hayab as chairman, an election that has brought joy and relief to many Christians in the region.”
He further urged the Northern States YOWICAN and the general public to disregard the statement, which he described as fake.
“We are children of God who will give an account before God on the Day of Judgment. I, therefore, wish to disassociate myself from the ‘Northern CAN Youth Wing Stands Firm for Rev. Pam’ press statement and also appeal to any of my colleagues who have allowed anyone to use them to stop henceforth.”
“My appeal also goes to the former leaders to stop the desperation and join the joy of the moment with Rev. Hayab as our new Chairman.”
