2023: CAN president distances self from APC presidential campaign council list
Archbishop Daniel Okoh, president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has distanced himself from the Tinubu/Shettima 2023 President Campaign Council's updated list of members.

A list revealed by Channels Television included the names of a few departing CAN officials.

Archbishop Okoh expressed his concern over the development in a statement.

He asserted that CAN is renowned for its commitment to non-partisanship and that the organisation will begin an investigation into the incident.

“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,” the CAN President said.

CAN President distances self from APC Presidential Campaign Council list

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 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 a full investigation into how the officials got involved in 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
