With the 2023 general elections about two months away, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has urged Christians to vote en masse
It also said that the Federal Government has a role to play in ensuring smooth electioneering campaigns and smooth transition without bloodshed.
Speaking during a prayer summit in Kaduna at the weekend, Rev. Yakubu Pam, the CAN Northern Chairman, said that it was also the government’s responsibility to ensure a level playing field for all the candidates and voters during elections.
Rev. Pam said: “I am convinced that you will agree with me that this prayer summit is timely and auspicious as it is taking place barely few months before the 2023 general elections.
“I sincerely welcome all the state CAN officials in the 19 Northern states and FCT as well as the executive members of the Northern CAN to this strategic prayer summit.”
He stressed that the time when Christians showed apathy to political issues was over.
“We are all enjoined to come out en masse and participate in the electioneering process of our democracy because it is the only way we can produce good leaders of our choice to lead us at different levels.
“Christians should come out as never before to vote and be voted for in the forthcoming general election in February, 2023.
