According to Vanguard,the Christian Association of Nigeria {CAN},yesterdsy berated the United States {US} Secretary of States,Mr John Kerry over his visit to Nigeria,describing the visit as discriminatory,personal and divisive.The President of CAN,Rev. Supo Ayokunle said the visit would further the federal government's plan to continue to persecute the teeming population of Nigerian Christians.Kerry,during the visit had only visited the Sultan of Sokoto,Sa'ad Abubakar III,met with the 19 northern governors,whom only three are Christians.At the Presidential Villa,where Kerry was hosted by President Muhammadu Buhari,met with select northern governors,which also irked critics on the selection process of his host.Ayokunle,told journalists in an interview in Abuja that Kerry disrespected the heterogeneous nature of Nigeria,while nakedly favouring northern Nigeria and Muslims to the detriment of the Christian community.While calling on Kerry to ''Stop interfering in Nigerian affairs'', CAN president explained that Kerry's visit was a complete flop and exposed Kerry's negligence of Nigeria's unity in diversity ideology that has remained the bedrock of the country.''Why did he meet with the 19 states governors,without southern governors,is Nigeria the north alone,why did you go to the north alone?.There's a siege on Christians.Kerry,his actions speak volume,his actions,body language were vert divisive.If US Secretary of States is coming for official visit,it's undertandable,but we demand for explanation why he was selective.Has the Sultan Palaace become another State House? Was Kerry invited by the Sultan?.We have 36 States in Nigeria; he only selected northern governors to meet with them.It was a visit to the north,not to Nigeria.It was surely a very divisive visit.With the visit to the north,Kerry's visit has heightened fear and tension among Christians in Nigeria,if they cannot bring us together,they should not interfere in our affairs''.
