We Have Faces, Abuja Pastors’ Response CAN

Apostle Babatunde Oguntimehin, the head of the Nigeria Coalition of Pastors for Good Leaders, disproved the Christians Association of Nigeria’s claim that they were unidentified clerics on Monday by supplying membership records and evidence of ordination.

Following a town hall meeting with some of the party leaders of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s followers, the City Boy Movement, the move was done less than 24 hours after a group of pastors and bishops from Abuja backed Tinubu as the APC’s presidential candidate.

Hours after the endorsement, however, CAN disavowed the clerics and reiterated its former position of “No to same-faith ticket.”

As much as the organization cannot stop people from voting for specific politicians, according to Luminous Jannamike, Special Assistant on Media to CAN President, Most Rev. Daniel Okoh, they also cannot be seen siding with religious groups that are not associated with CAN.
