APC Presidential Campaign Council List Inclusion, CAN President Distances Self

President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Archbishop Daniel Okoh has distanced himself from the revised list of members of the Tinubu/Shettima 2023 President Campaign Council.

Names of some outgoing officials of CAN had featured on a version of the list sighted according some reports

But in a statement that was signed by the CAN President, and made available to newsmen in Abuja on Thursday, Archbishop Okoh said the inclusion of the names of some outgoing officials of CAN in the revised list is worrisome because it counters the well-known stance of CAN on partisanship.

He disclosed that the association commenced full investigation into how the officials got involved into overt partisanship.

The Archbishop stated that at the end of the probe, CAN would take fair, but decisive and appropriate action with a view to defending the ideals of the umbrella Christian body.
