2023: Stop Impersonating Us, CAN Warns Politicians

Published

on

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has dissociated itself from the unveiling of the vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Kashim Shettima, saying those who were presented as church leaders are ‘unknown clerics’.

CAN’s General Secretary, Barrister Joseph Bade Daramola, gave the warning on Thursday in Abuja.

He expressed shock and disappointed about the desperation of some politicians who once “claimed Christians do not matter in governance and politics who went to hire some unknown bishops, pastors and priests to impersonate the leadership of CAN in their political meeting”.

“This is totally unacceptable, reprehensible, unprecedented and ungodly. If they are saying Christians have no electoral values why impersonating them in their meetings?”

“We are throwing their principals and sponsors into the court of conscience. These actions of theirs have shown who they are to the public and what they are capable of doing to us all.

“We are asking political parties not to ignore religious sensibilities and sensibilities of the people especially in today’s Nigeria when Christians are becoming endangered species daily. Our quest is within the constitutional requirements and ignoring it is akin to trampling on the Constitution especially the Federal Character Act,” Daramola said.

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has released the schedule of activities preparatory for Ekiti and Osun 2022 governorship elections.

By 2022, the incumbent governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola, will serve out his first term of four years in office, while his Ekiti State counterpart, Kayode Fayemi would have concluded his second tenure of office, hence, both states will face fresh elections.

In the official notice which was signed by the National Secretary of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, CECPC, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe on Sunday and sighted by DAILY POST, the party has announced that sales of nomination forms for both States have been slated for 16th and 18th November respectively.

Though the cost of governorship election nomination forms for APC could not be confirmed as at Sunday, checks on the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) showed that no official moves has been made with respect to the elections yet.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had earlier fixed June 18, and July 16, 2022, for the Ekiti and Osun governorship elections.
