CAN gives El-Rufai 7 days to reveal source of Oritsejafor’s private jet

Controversial politician and former minister
for the Federal Capital Terrotory, Mallam
Nasir El Rufai, has been given a 7-day
ultimatum by the Christian Association of
Nigeria 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.
This is in response to the interview the
former minister granted Saturday Sun dated
14th September where he called the CAN
president a bigot and a pretender. 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 111 who is
the leader of the Muslims in Nigeria

his own mother. According to a report by
Punch, the sick incident happened on August
23 at their residence at the Ajebamidele area
of Ado Ekiti in Ekiti State.

believed the story at first but the truth
cannot be hidden for too long. The
woman, a petty trader, was said to have
been raped by her son. She was badly
injured and was rushed to the hospital
for medical attention.
"I can tell you that the family is
presently living in shame. We hear that
the family members are planning to
move out of the house but we cannot
confirm that.”
The accused young man was in court this last week
Tuesday and was remanded in prison custody
until October 16th, when the case comes up
again for hearing. Rape your own mother?
Unbelievable!

Aliko Dangote gets $3.3billion loan from 12 banks to build oil refinery

12 local and international banks have loaned
Africa's richest man and foremost industrialist
Aliko Dangote $3.3 billion to build Nigeria’s
biggest petroleum refinery and petrochemical
fertilizer plants.
The banks are: Standard Chartered Nigeria,
Guaranty Trust Bank, Fidelity Bank, Ecobank
Nigeria, United Bank for Africa, Access Bank,
Zenith Bank, Standard Bank of South Africa,
Diamond Bank, First Bank Nigeria, First City
Monument Bank, and FirstRand Bank.
Standard Chartered is the global co-ordinator,
while Guaranty Trust Bank is the local co-
ordinator.
According to a statement released by Dangote
Group a few days ago, the factories they plan to
build will create about 9500 direct and 25 000
indirect posts. These plants will cut the existing
volumes of refined fuel that are imported by
almost half which will end the importation of
fertilizer in Nigeria.
The company further stated that the 2.8 million
tonnes of urea that will be made at these
factories will be directed into developing the
Nigerian agriculture sector. Aliko Dangote said
these factories would showcase Africa as maker
of refined oil products and fertiliser.
“As a result, several African nations will be less reliant on importing fuel and fertilizer from foreign markets, reducing the
negative impact of negotiating terms within
increasingly turbulent international
markets"
