I will not nobilitate such prosaic apologetic.."Chris Okotie replies CAN
Chris Okotie took to his official Facebook page to
reply CAN after they blasted him for asking Ayo Oristsejafor to step down over
the $9.3m arms deal scandal.
"I will not nobilitate such prosaic apologetic by
a retort. Socrates once said to a young man, “Speak that I might see
thee”.Now that CAN has spoken, even team Jonathan has spoken.Nigerians can now
fully visualize the portrait of complicity shrouded in duplicity.Truth is never
out of kilter. Hahaha!Rev Chris Okotie"
If you recall, CAN said through it's Director of National
Issues
“Is Chris Okotie a Christian? How many wives has he?He
should go and sort out himself. Even the government has exonerated Pastor Ayo
of all the allegations. So, who is Okotie? Well, it is laughable if Chris
Okotie should demand that Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor should resign as
President of CAN.Chris Okotie should remove the log in his eyes before he
begins to see a peck in somebody’s eyes.
