The newly inaugurated president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Archbishop Daniel Okoh on Thursday posited that many Christians have the genuine fear that there is a deliberate plan to remove the Christian faith from the scheme of things and marginalize them.
Okoh further explained that their fear was as a result of recent happenings in the country’s polity.
He frowned at the same faith ticket despite the outcry from CAN
“That is, the same-faith ticket in one of the major political parties in Nigeria despite the caution raised by CAN since two years ago.”
In his acceptance speech in Abuja after the General Assembly of CAN validated his election, Okoh said: “We are coming in at the time that all of us in the Christian faith, believe that some section of political leaders are not sensitive to the diverse nature of our population when certain decisions are being made.
“Whatever happens, no matter how many times our sensibilities are insulted, we must resolve to make a positive impact on the political, economic, and social systems of our dear nation.”
Recall that the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu picked Kashim Shettima, a Northern Muslim as his running mate despite massive outcry from the public and the Christian faith.
