CAN to meet with Peter Obi, Atiku, and Tinubu today
His Eminence, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, claims that the country is going through a crisis in administration and development.
He identified the nation’s “incoherent constitutional and institutional structure,” which he blamed for the problems.
The CAN President made this statement on Tuesday in Abuja at the opening of an interactive session with potential presidential candidates for 2023.
“A Prosperous and Peaceful Nigeria Founded on Justice and Freedom for All” is the focus of the presidential debate.
He said that CAN had taken the time to consider the issues impeding peace and progress in the nation and had articulated recommendations on how to best address them.
The solutions to the nation’s problems have been outlined in the strategic document we refer to as the Charter for Future Nigeria, according to Okoh, who added that the country’s problems had been discussed with Nigerians of various religious, ethnic, and social identities.
The paper takes into account the political, social, and economic aspects of this incoherence. It offers sincere suggestions for resolving Nigeria’s ongoing crises, including those that concern equality of all racial and religious groups, access to basic economic and social rights, political freedom, and a just and egalitarian social structure.
He claims that the main goal of the conversation is to make sure that each presidential candidate is aware of the issues that Nigerian Christians are facing and is prepared to offer solutions in the form of policies and programs.
The presidential candidate of the Action Alliance, Hamza Al-Mustapha, said during the meeting that Nigeria didn’t need an unreliable leader and pointed out that economic sabotage and insecurity would be the next administration’s biggest learning curves.
Today (Wednesday), the All Progressives Congress’ Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the People’s Democratic Party’s Atiku Abubakar, and the Labour Party’s Peter Obi are scheduled to participate in the second leg of an interactive session between CAN and all of the 2023 presidential candidates in the nation’s capital.
Kashim Shettima, a former governor of Borno State, has been chosen by Tinubu as his running partner.
However, CAN and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, headed by Bishop Wale Oke, criticized his choice to run alongside a Muslim like himself.
