The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has expressed confidence in the administration of President Bola Tinubu in tackling the country’s challenges.
During a visit at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday, January 23, CAN’s leader, Daniel Okoh said the Christian body was ready to partner with the government in nation building initiatives.
“You have extended a hand of fellowship to us, and we embrace you and your family with the love of Christ and promise to partner with you in nation-building, for the task is quite daunting,” Okoh said.
He said Tinubu has the “sagacity to give leadership in battling our challenges and in turning around the fortunes of our nation, Nigeria, within a short time.”
Assuring President Tinubu of CAN’s supports, Okoh said; “You will not stumble, and you will not fall. You will always find our association as a ready and willing partner in nation-building.”
Reacting, President Tinubu appealed to Christian leaders to join his administration in the fight against corruption by preaching an attitudinal change towards money.
He said; “Admonish Nigerians to have a change of mindset and not make money our god or master.
“We have no other country but Nigeria. If you do not preach understanding, tolerance, perseverance and hope, you damage the country and nobody will help repair it.”
He described his commitment to nation building as a “sacred duty to ensure the country is set right for the prosperity of all.”
“I am here today because of your prayers and the will of God Almighty. What I have challenged myself to do each day is to be fair to all Nigerians. I have had a number of criticisms, including the rationale behind the size of my cabinet. If you want efficient, mobile and resourceful people, we have to give people a load they can carry,” Tinubu said.
