Enough is enough — Christian leaders back youth fight against attacks on faith, leaders
The Nigerian Supreme Council for Ecclesiastical Affairs (NSCEA) has declared full support for the Concerned Christian Youth Forum (CCYF), describing it as a legitimate and strategic force in defending the Christian faith, church leaders, and the future of Christian youths in Nigeria.
The endorsement comes after the CCYF recently spearheaded petitions that led to the arrest and detention of individuals accused of attacking prominent Christian leaders, including the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, among others.
In a letter of attestation signed by its Secretary, Bishop Prof. Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies, the Council said the recognition followed “a series of consultations with esteemed Christian Leaders and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).”
It said that “the CCYF is a vital force in our collective quest to protect our Faith, our Denominations, and our Future.”
According to the NSCEA, “It is with great pride that we stand in solidarity with you as you embark on this noble mission to protect our Faith, our Denominations and the future generations of our Christian youths.”
The letter described the moment as historic, declaring: “Let this day mark the dawn of a new era, where the indomitable Spirit of our Youths is unleashed in service of our common purpose in the Christendom.”
Bishop Adesanya-Davies closed with a prayer of blessing, writing: “More grace to you in Jesus mighty name, amen. Thank you!”
