The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has unequivocally asserted its non-partisan stance, emphasizing that it should not be aligned with any political party, according to Reverend John Joseph Hayab, the outgoing chairman of CAN in Kaduna State. This declaration was made during the recent handover of leadership to the newly appointed state chairman, Rev. Caleb Ma’aji, from the TEKAN/ECWA bloc……….CONTINUE READING
Reverend Hayab underscored the religious nature of CAN, affirming that it is a body for Christians and not a political entity. Regardless of one’s political affiliations or status in power, individuals within CAN remain Christians, and the association will continue to extend its support for the overall success of the organization. Hayab commended the smooth and harmonious conduct of the election and expressed satisfaction with the constitutional provision that mandates the new chairman, Rev. Ma’aji, to serve a five-year term. He also expressed his readiness to provide guidance whenever necessary.
In response, the newly appointed chairman, Rev. Ma’aji, expressed gratitude for the trust and confidence placed in him by the leadership of his group. This reaffirms the commitment of CAN to its religious mission while maintaining a respectful distance from political engagements.
On a related note, a recent book authored by Femi Adesina, Buhari’s former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, sheds light on the efforts made by prominent pastors to oppose President Muhammadu Buhari during the 2015 election and throughout his tenure. The book details the hate campaigns and prayers aimed at Buhari’s defeat, tracing their origins back to the period when he declared his intention to run for the presidency. Adesina highlights the role of former President Goodluck Jonathan in mobilizing churches against Buhari, citing numerous visits and speeches in churches before the 2015 election. Despite these efforts, Buhari emerged victorious, but Adesina notes the lingering impact of biased preachers and congregations who, he argues, often follow their leaders unquestioningly.
