Future elections: Vote out corrupt leaders — CAN

OSOGBO — Ahead of future elections in the
country, the Christian Association of Nigeria,
CAN, has directed Christians across the country
to vote out corrupt leaders, saying only faithful
people should be allowed to lead the country.
The National Secretary of CAN, Rev. Hassan
Asake, who gave the order while speaking at
the inauguration of new executive members of
the association in Osogbo, noted that some
elected members of the association have
disappointed CAN through their alleged
collaborations with others to ruin the nation.
He stressed that Christians have the right to
choose faithful leaders into political offices and
advised that proper evaluation of all
contestants should be carried out before
voting.
His words: “Some Christians got to power as
real Christians but they eventually left the office
as non-Christians. Christians should serve as
light and salt to the world.
“The church is going through fire. The body of
Christ in Nigeria is going through the most
challenging time and Christians are facing
serious persecution. It is therefore important for
Christians to be steadfast in a time like this and
take their stand.”
In his address at the occasion, the state
Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola who was
represented by his deputy, Mrs. Titilayo Laoye-
Tomori assured Christians in the state that the
current administration will not do anything that
will cause chaos in the state through religion.
