CAN President dissociates self From list of APC Presidential Campaign Council

The President Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Archbishop Daniel Okoh, has dissociated himself from the revised list of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council which included names of  some outgoing CAN leaders.

Okoh asserted that CAN is non-partisan and does not indulge in partisan politics. He considered the partisanship of the listed CAN members as absurd, and vows to investigate their involvement in partisan politics.

The CAN President in a statement titled: “CAN President distances self from APC Presidential Campaign Council list” declared: “My attention as President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has been drawn to the revised list of members of the Tinubu/Shettima 2023 President Campaign Council wherein the names of some outgoing officials of the body were featured.

“Such a development is worrisome because it counters the well-known stance of CAN on partisanship.

“I want to categorically exonerate my humble self from this development and any of such that may occur in the future.

“I want to use this medium to assure all Christians in Nigeria and the general public that since I received the news, I have commenced full investigation into how the officials got involved into overt partisanship.

“At the end of the probe, CAN will take fair, but decisive and appropriate action with a view to defending the ideals of the umbrella Christian body I lead by the grace of the Almighty God.

“On a final note, I urge the general public to be calm while we collectively work to entrench a culture of inclusion and respect for our religious diversities in our political leadership.”

Signed:

Archbishop Daniel Okoh
President,
Christian Association of Nigeria
