The chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the 19 Northern states and Abuja, Rev. John Joseph Hayab, has called on Nigerians not to betray the trust entrusted in them, saying betrayal has caused a serious setback for so long in the affairs of Nigeria.
Speaking on the topic: “Overcoming betrayer at Easter”, during a Sunday service at Amazing Grace Baptist Church, Gonin Gora, Hayab noted that “Nigerians are betraying the country, people are betraying one another, which all culminated in the challenges the country is facing today.
“The security agencies cannot succeed in their official engagements in trying to curb the activities of bandits that are terrorising different parts of the country because of betrayers that easily leak every effort being made by the security personnel to bring an end the activities of bandits killing, rustling animals and destroying properties in billions of naira.
“When Judas Iscariot agreed to betray Jesus by collecting money in return, he later hanged himself because he later understood that he betrayed an innocent soul, Jesus Christ.
“Anybody that betrays the trust of another person, people, community, state or country does not end well in his or her life,” stressing that those who betray the trust put in them in terms of any responsibility do not end well because they have betrayed the trust assigned to them.
Hayab said, “Those who betrayed Jesus and humanity ended up destroying themselves.”
He noted that those who choose the path of destroying others should stop it because their end is always disastrous.
He said, “If this country trusts you and gives you a responsibility, it is expected that you will be found faithful. Lack of faithfulness in keeping our responsibilities and keeping the treasury of the country is betraying the trust bestowed on an individual.”
The chairman then appealed to those who chose the path of destroying others to stop, stating that their ends will not be good.
“We should work together with the security agencies to keep the country safe and united.”
