Pantami’s professorship: I have written the handover note- suspended Gombe CAN chairman
Suspended chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria, Gombe State chapter Rev. Sunday Congo, on Friday, confirmed to Periscope Nigeria that he has written the handover note, as requested by the national.
Congo made this revelation through a phone conversation with our correspondent, noting that he would hand it over on Saturday ‘physically’.
Recall that the caretaker committee chairman Rev. Sunday Congo, was suspended following his facilitation to the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy Prof. Ali Pantami, over his elevation to the rank of professor of Cyber Security by Federal University of Technology Owerri, without clearance from CAN national office.
The suspended chairman who declined further comment stressed that he doesn’t want to say anything for now.
When asked to confirm the circulating handover note, Congo said, “I’m going to do it with immediate effect, I’m going to do it physically, I have written the letter but I want to go to CAN centre and do official handing over. I don’t know the time yet, I’m arranging with my close leaders but it will be tomorrow (Saturday).”
He added, “I want to reserve all comment for now.”
The viral letter partly read, “I want to sincerely appreciate God for allowing me to serve as care taker Chairman CAN Gombe State this is a rare privilege,God thank you am grateful.
“Am grateful to CAN National Executives for giving me to serve God in CAN Gombe State am grateful. Thanks to the CAN Northeast for allowing me to serve for the period I have served.
“I have received a letter from the National office through the Chairman North East suspending me from office because I congratulated Hon Minister Pantami I receive the decision with all gratitude in all things the Bible says we should be thankful. God is my judge, I didn’t do that with any evil intention of spoiling the church I am a child of God and I will never do such a thing. I therefore hand over the office today as instructed.”
