RUGA: CAN Asks Christians To Watch And Pray

THE Southern wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has called on Christians in the region to watch and pray in the face of what it claimed as suspicious over the Federal Government’s suspension of the RUGA settlement programme.

The body in a statement on Sunday called into question the sincerity of the government on the issue as it wondered why the government was fixated on prioritizing cattle farmers over other farmers in the land.

Secretary of CAN in the 17 Southern States, Dr. Joseph Ajujungwa in a statement issued on Sunday while saying it had suspicious over the suspension of the programme thus called on Christians everywhere to watch and pray the actions of the government on the issue.

“In the North, we have largest hectares of land, very vast that nobody is occupying. Why are they not building the ranches, RUGA or whatever there? They can come here, take grass and go, and we buy cows in exchange, just like the governors said. We do not have such mass land required.

“We are also calling on the Federal Government to be mindful of what they are doing because cattle rearing is a private farming business. Why should the government support individual cattle farmers against other farmers?”

“CAN is calling on all Christians, all law abiding citizens of the Southern Nigeria to please watch and pray. Watch means that you must open your eyes to see what is going on and therefore pray; do not relent. 

“Anybody that is coming to buy land now in the name of business, factory, and what have you, let us be cautious in dealing with the person because their plot is to turn such into colony.”
