The National Youth Leader of Congress of Northern Nigeria Christians (CNNC) Engineer Daniel Kadzai has appealed for an immediate ceasefire between loyalist of Most Rev’d Dr. Stephen Dami Mamza, CAN Chairman Adamawa State and Rev’d Dr. Yakubu Pam, the Executive Secretary, Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC).
In a statement issued to the press, Engr. Kadzai who is a former National President, Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) said the trend of counter accusations from the loyalists of the two Christian leaders has generated a lot among concerned Christians in Nigeria.
He noted that they cannot fold their arms and allow the ego of these brilliant loyalists downplay on the integrity of the two influential Nigeria Christian Leaders.
“I’m very close to Bishop Dami, the CAN Chairman Adamawa State for over three decades and also Rev’d Dr. Pam, who we worked with when he was the CAN Chairman North-Central zone, then I was Youth CAN Chairman for the same zone. I know their capacity and capabilities when it comes to the kingdom business.
“I respectfully appeal to my friends the loyalists of both clerics to drop their pens and allow these eminent Clergymen concentrate and reinforce on their divine calling as preachers.
“I feel we should all collaborate to help create favourable atmosphere for the delivery of their divine mandate to bring hope to Nigerians that are among the most vulnerable” added in the statement.
He caution that the Insecurity in Nigeria is having profound social, economic and political consequences, relating to internal peace and security hence, the need for them to team up to develop action plan to overcome the challenges and not to be busy fighting each other.
“John 17; 21- 23 KJV “that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me” he quoted the scripture.
While appealing for them to embrace dialogue, he stressed that they can resolve their differences in-house and allow the leaders forge ahead with their work for the kingdom.
You would recall that of recent, there have been an impasse between the two Christian leaders over alleged misconduct levelled against the Nigeria Christian Pilgrimage Commission (NCPC) by Bishop Steven Dami Mamza, who is also the Catholic Bishop of Yola in Adamawa State.
