From Maurice Okafor, Enugu. The Christian Association of Nigeria(CAN) has denied allegation that the association received a cash gift of two billion naira from Mr Peter Obi, the Labour party presidential candidate for onward distribution to the churches, describing petition to the effect over it’s alleged misappropriation, written by one Pastor Frank Onwumere as null and void.
