By Frederick Peters, KADUNA.

NEWSDAILYNIGERIA: The leadership of Christian Association of Nigeria,( CAN) has dissociated it self from the revisited list of members of the APC 2023 presidential campaign councll.

CAN frowned at the composition of the council wherein names of some outgoing officials of the body were included.

In a statement the CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, Thursday, described the action as worrisome as it negates the non- partisan posture of the reputable body.

” My attention as President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has been drawn to the revised list of members of the Tinubu/Shettima 2023 President Campaign Council wherein the names of some outgoing officials of the body were featured.

” Such a development is worrisome because it counters the well-known stance of CAN on partisanship.

”  I want to categorically exonerate my humble self from this development and any of such that may occur in the future.

” I want to use this medium to assure all Christians in Nigeria and the general public that since I received the news, I have commenced full investigation into how the officials got involved into overt partisanship.

“According to him”  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.

” On a final note, I urge the general public to be calm while we collectively work to entrench a culture of inclusion and respect for our religious diversities in our political leadership.” the statement added
