Christian politicians should avail themselves for leadership as a Muslim is getting out of office – CAN

The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Samson Ayokunle has called on Christian politicians to avail themselves for the forthcoming 2023 presidential elections.

Rev. Ayokunle made the call on Sunday in Jos during an interview with Journalists after a Church sermon. He noted that it would only be natural that a Christian takes over the hem of affairs of the country.

He further stated that any party that presents a Christian/Christian or Muslim/Muslim ticket is going to fail in 2023.

“Christian politicians should brace up and make themselves available for leadership, it is time. A Muslim is getting out of office and in a country where God has naturally divided us into hundred of millions, then a Christian politician should be ready to take over leadership.That is the wisdom that will make this nation survive, when all the ethnic and religious groups are given fair play in the scheme of things; and Christians voters also should be able to vote wisely this time around.

“Let me say it clearly that any party that present Christian/Christian or Muslim/Muslim ticket is going to fail in 2023. We will mobilize the Christian body to fight against that proposition. No politician out of his own personal ambition disregard the sensibility of our society. Nigeria is a plural society with complexities, we must learn to manage it very well so that we can give everybody sense of belonging.”he said
