CAN 19 Northern States, FCT Mourns Azzaman's Demise

*Says  Kaduna has lost a great soldier of Christ



The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the 19 Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic and sudden death of Evangelist Azzaman Azzaman, also known as Rev. David Ayuba Azzaman, who passed away on Sunday in a ghastly motor accident along Idon in Kaduna State.


This was contained in a statement personally signed by the Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) 19 Northern States and the FCT, Rev. Dr. Joseph John Hayab, made available on Sunday May 25, 2025.


"Evangelist Azzaman was a courageous preacher, an unapologetic defender of the Christian faith, and a passionate advocate for the rights of persecuted believers. His life and ministry were marked by boldness, spiritual conviction, and an unwavering commitment to truth and justice.

"Kaduna has truly lost a great soldier of Christ. Evangelist Azzaman stood tall in defense of Christianity, fearlessly speaking out against injustice and persecution. He was a prophetic voice, a bridge-builder, and a spiritual father to many across denominations and communities.

"Though his departure leaves a great vacuum in the Christian community, we rejoice in the assurance that he has finished his race and now rests in the eternal glory of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

"We extend our heartfelt condolences to his immediate family, his congregation at The King Worship Chapel and Ministries, and all who were touched by his life and ministry. May the Lord comfort the Church and give all of us strength in this season of mourning.

"May his soul rest in peace and may his legacy continue to inspire courage and faith among believers," the statement said.

Turaki Adamawa's Endorsement of Fufore Emirate: An Act of Betrayal, Political Strategy, or Self-Demotion?

By MADU MAIHA The recent visit of Turaki Adamawa, Aliyu Atiku Abubakar, to the newly created Fufore Emirate, where he exp ressed unwavering loyalty and reverence to the new Emir, HRH Muhammad Sani Ribadu, raises a series of critical questions. His actions are perplexing when viewed in the context of his father, Waziri Adamawa Atiku Abubakar's, strong opposition to the creation of the emirate. Given his royal lineage as a direct descendant and heir apparent of the Adamawa Emirate, a throne that has seen its authority diluted by the emergence of Fufore Emirate, his visit seems contradictory. Additionally, as a council member of the Adamawa Emirate, his actions challenge the very foundation of his influence and position. Considering these factors, one must examine whether Turaki Adamawa’s actions constitute a betrayal of his father and his emirate, a strategic political maneuver for personal gain, or an act of self-diminution to appease influential forces for immediate rew...
