Crusade Row Rattles CAN, PFN

A growing dispute over the organization of a major Christian crusade has unsettled relations between the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN). The row reportedly erupted after allegations of poor coordination, lack of proper authorization, and disagreements over revenue management from the event. CAN leaders expressed concerns that some organizers sidelined established church structures, while PFN officials maintained that the crusade complied with internal guidelines and was aimed solely at evangelism and community outreach.

Insiders disclosed that the disagreement also involves the accreditation of ministers who participated in the crusade, with CAN demanding stricter screening to avoid misrepresentation and doctrinal abuse. The tension has sparked calls from senior clerics for urgent reconciliation talks to prevent the matter from deepening divisions within the Christian community.

Both CAN and PFN have reportedly set up dialogue committees to review the issues and recommend reforms that would ensure transparency, accountability, and cooperation in future joint religious programmes. Observers say the outcome of the talks could shape how large-scale Christian events are coordinated nationwide.
