Kindly share this story:

The Northern Christian Association has backed the Catholic Bishops of Nigeria over their recent meeting with President Bola Tinubu, accusing the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, Daniel Bwala, of attempting to sow discord within the Christian community.

The association said the Catholic bishops spoke not only on issues affecting the Catholic Church but also on matters concerning Christians and Nigerians generally, insisting that their intervention was in the national interest.

The NCA’s position follows a controversy sparked by comments attributed to Bwala after the Catholic bishops met with Tinubu and raised concerns over the country’s socio-economic and security challenges.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the Chairman of the Northern Christian Association, Rev. Joseph Hayab, warned against what he described as divisive politics, saying the association would resist any attempt to pit one Christian denomination against another.
