In response to the interview the controversial politician and former minister of the Federal Capital territory, Mallam Nasir El Rufai granted The Sun newspaper, dated 14th September,2013 where he called the CAN president a bigot and a pretender. CAN , The Christian Association of Nigeria has given Mallam Nasir El Rufai, a 7-day ultimatum to reveal to Nigerians who gave the
President of CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, his private jet or risk having his
dirty character exposed to the public. The Christian Association also asked
El-Rufai to go for a Psychiatric test.
El-Rufai said:
"The CAN president is not a religious leader. He is a religious
pretender. From the statements he has made, he is a bigot. He is an ethnic
irredentist and no one should take him serious. It is sad that such a person is
the head of CAN. He can say whatever he wants to say but we know who he is
working for, we know who gave him his private jet. so why should we worry about
someone like that. He has zero credibility".
In a statement signed by Rev Emmanuel Dziggau and Elder
Sunday Oibe, CAN said "The fact that he can abuse Jesus Christ in his
tweets and Christians ignored him does not give him the impetus to make
unguarded comments about Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, who is the leader of the
Christians in Nigeria"
They also noted that Christians respect other faiths and
have never abused the Sultan of Sokoto or the President-General of the Nigerian
Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Muhammad Saad Abubakar the third who is
the leader of the Muslims in Nigeria.
