President
of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has
called on Christians across the country to be united in order to ensure
peaceful co-existence with adherents of other religions.
He made the call on Saturday, while addressing delegates during the election of new executive members into the Niger State chapter of CAN, at the ECWA Goodnews Church, Minna, adding that there is no better time for the church to pray for the country than now.
The cleric, who was represented by the Director of National Issues, CAN, Elder Sunday Oibie, said Niger's election was the best election of CAN so far conducted in parts of the country.
“If there is anytime the church needs to come together, it’s now. This is the time the church needs to be knitted together, he said.
Before now, the elections of CAN have the capacity to tear the church apart but God in His infinite mercy, has been helping us to conduct the elections without any problem.
“To avoid unnecessary petitions and court cases, we have made it compulsory for the national body to be fully involved in all state elections.”
The CAN president, while speaking on the topic ‘The end is better than the beginning’, charged the new executives to embrace forgiveness and live in peace.
The electoral committee has coordinators from the 25 local government areas of the state which formed 87 accredited delegates.
Also, the national legal adviser, CAN, Mr Albert Uko ,while stressing that this is the most transparent election organised by CAN in the country.
