CAN meets Atiku behind closed doors
The leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), is currently meeting behind closed doors with Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and other Presidential candidates of various political parties.
The parley, which is taking place at the National Christian Centre Abuja, has the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, representing Muhammadu Buhari of the APC, while the Vice Presidential candidate of the PDP, Peter Obi, is representing Atiku Abubakar.
Addressing journalists at the course of the meeting, CAN President, Rev. Samson Ayokunle, said the meeting was targeted at scrutinizing the credentials of the candidates as well as knowing their plans for the nation and the church.
“The church cannot take the back seat in this situation because it can only prosper when Nigeria prospers. If the election is not free and fair, then, all Nigerians including the church will be in trouble.
“So, we decided to reach out to the presidential candidates to ask them their credentials for aspiring to the highest office in the land. Also, to interrogate their plans for all including the church.
“We also brought them together to speak to their consciences so that they don’t set this nation on fire.
“We are going to draw our conclusion after we have finished our interview.”
