The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the appointment of some of its officials into the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential Campaign Council (PCC) despite the body’s opposition of the Muslim-Muslim ticket.
CAN President Archbishop Daniel Okoh who expressed shock over the development, distanced himself from the revised list of members of the Tinubu/Shettima 2023 President Campaign Council.
In a statement released on Thursday evening, the cleric said he has absolutely nothing to do with the list.
According to the CAN president, this development is against the popular stance of the leading Christian body on partisanship.
“I want to categorically exonerate my humble self from this development and any of such that may occur in the future.,” the Archbishop said in the statement he personally signed.
He also used the medium to assure Christians in the country that he is thoroughly carrying out investigations into the list which could be to determine if the listed persons were duly consulted and how these 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,” he added.
